Thank you so much! Do you know what settings we would lose / need to reconfigure if we replaced the CMOS battery?

As far as i know its only the clock. I dont believe the bios settings are affected. The dead battery does cause a fairly long delay on boot as the system tries to figure out the problem and warn you about a battery failure and CMOS checksum error.

Thanks for the above information on the Synology NAS and WD Red HDs. I guess I could justify this by setting up a RAID back up for everything besides music and movies including family photos and other back ups. I have a couple of external HDS with copied files but this would be more organized and safe.
And I wouldn't have to get up off the couch anymore..........

But Ohhh I want a digital clock too!
Could you add one to the NUC with a blue LED light to match the surround master?

Wondering if somebody somewhere implemented something similar on Intel based NUC PCs running Kodi or LibreElec. I've searched a bit but did not find anything.

Kodi can drive LCDProc which in turn can drive multiple displays. See https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:XBMC_LCDproc for some details. It can drive quite a few different displays and I think is reasonably up-to-date (although code can always be updated of course).

If you have details of how your current VFD is driven (Kodi addon ? backend driver) then it might be possible to replicate that with LibreElec.

Here is the Github link of the driver : https://github.com/roidy/service.odroidn2.oled
It is a Kodi addon installed from the latest zip file found there.

Just checked to try to find the topic about this in the CoreElec forum, but it seems that they are currently on hiatus and "taking some time off to think about the future of the project". Their forum is not available anymore.

Found also this : https://github.com/Pako2/esp-oledproc
Seems to be a remote OLED display for Kodi and replaces the server part of the LCDproc system. Uses an ESP8266 module and connects with wifi to Kodi / LCDproc module to display remotely the infos. Seems promising.
