Using a Pi as mediacentre, control from phone - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

hello everyone!
i've been scouring internet while , frankly, there's information ended drowning in it. figured post on forum might worth shot :)

here's idea:
have large usb hdd (external powered) laying around , want try , turn kind of mediacenter.
basically, i'd 3 things:

- connect smart-tv watch video's stored on drive
- play music on stereo (in no way connected tv)
- able browse through hdd, select , play music using phone remote

ideally, run 24/7, nice if set when booting, don't have plug in keyboard again set things :)

since tv connected via cable router, figured easiest way connect pi tv hooking router too.
think can use simple 3.5mm jack connect pi stereo.
controlling multiple phones, , having them sync (so each phone display same 'now playing' , such), seems hardest part (to me @ least).

have 7 years experience linux (debian based) , not shy use terminal.
question here: how make system, , os/software should install? (once again, there's many , don't which anymore..)

input appreciated!

kind regards,
dex

use kodi on pi , 1 of many remote control apps on phone (e.g. yatse on android)?
