“I have been using a Raspberry Pi as a Kodi media centre since the first version , all have been great, this latest upgrade is no less useful, Faster, more ram (I got the 4gb) and able to handle HEVC videos which was an issue with no3 Now I DONT THINK THERE IS ANY TYPE OF MEDIA THIS LITTLE BOX WONT PLAY, . Really great little devise”
“Yeah so I got it and the official power supply and HDMI cable and installed Debian Buster and I like everything except that when I am watching Utube video via the Chromium browser there is this annoying horizontal tearing about 1/3 frame down.
I Googled for fixes and found nothing so far that fixes it, why is this even happening?
The very reason I bought the Raspberry Pi 4 was that I heard about and expected better video quality and streaming.”
“Very happy with the RPi 4b. Much better WiFi and memory. It’s definitely an improvement. Using it for home automation and it is much more responsive than the model 3.
I’ve fitted a heat sink and fan as the processor was running very hot (>70C) but with a fan is running around 45C.”
“A noticeble improvement on the RP3 B plus in terms of performance. As this is a new model there are a few things not working yet. Retropie doesn't have a supported version for the RP4 B yet, it does get hot so cooling is necessary and the support/firmware for booting from USB is not there yet.... but it's all coming so you've got all that to look forward to.”
