OSMC vs Openelec vs Kodi/Isengard
After much experimenting, this is my expierence:
OSMC , on Raspberrypi 2B:
No other OS, just the standalone OSMC, downloaded from the official website, using official, legal addons. Frequent freezing and major crashes. Some Airmouse functions fail. When Kodi keeps working, without loading the media, unable to stop it working. It takes some time to close down. Sporadic high frequency audio distortion. Resetting the audio setting ( audio decoder) was not always the remedy, had to make a clean re-instal
OPENELEC on Raspberrypi 2B:
Much more fast, faster startup, same issues as OSMC, but much less frequent crushes and freezing.Using the same SD card. Tried other brand new SD cards, with the same result on both OSMC and Openelec. Sporadic high frequency audio distortion. Resetting the audio setting ( audio decoder) was not always the remedy, had to make a clean re-instal
OPENELEC & OSMC mounted on Raspian, on Raspberrypi 2B:
Better performance on both OS, but the same issues of OSMC & Openelec remain. Always used the same sd card. Kodi installed on Raspian is flawless.
INSEGARD / KODI installed on Android 4.4.2
On a Rockchip KT3188 based Chinese tv streaming box, flawless operation, but slightly slower.
Airmouse worked perfect, all functions working, unlike Raspberrypi 2B, as above.
On Orangepi Plus, again , flawless operation, but slightly slower.
INSEGARD / KODI installed on Windows 10 based Satellite Toshiba Laptop:
Good, except, occassional audio muting ( corrected by windows reset). Both the airmouse and the usb mouse do not cover the whole TV screen.
