  • It is cat and mouse, but it has an issue maybe every year or so, and they generally resolve it same day or next day with an app update. The hardest part is generating your own google api keys, but there are straightforward guides and you just need to do it once.

    The upside? No ads at all, sponsorblock integration, and an easy 10ft interface that works great with a remote. No shitty web site to navigate with a mouse. Just a list of your videos each day. Click and play.

    I cant speak to your overheating issues. I have kodi running on 4gb raspi 5s with the default case/fan. No problems. An external usb fan might help you out. I’ve used one of these with a raspi in the past. Its roughly the same size as the raspi, but dead silent. Moves insane air.




  • Looks like the model name is the wattage. Your panels are each making a max of 275w. With 14 of them, the max power they will generate is 3850w, or 3.8Kw. That’s a pretty small solar deployment, about 1/4th the size of a array intended to provide full power to a US home. Still nice to have, but sized more to offset power costs than to eliminate them.

    That means if you have one hour of full sunlight hit your panels, it will generate 3.8kw of power. If you go to this site it will estimate how many sunlight hours your roof will get per year. Multiple the sunlight hours by 3.8Kw to find your total possible power generation per year.

    To find out how much you’ll save, you need to know how much a Kwh costs from your local power company, likely between $0.10-$0.30/kwh.

    So just with made up totals, if you get 1000hrs of sunlight/yr, you will generate up to 3,895kwh. At $0.10/kwh, you’ll save $389.50/yr.
