I'm glad to be a part of this. This is a great online community, and this is the best way to listen to music that Ive ever used. Sharing it is going to be fun

I bought this power supply from Amazon.ca. Do you think it will work alright?

I bought this one from eBay, from one of @HomerJAU posts recommending a power supply. About $11 now, with fast free shipping. It has these specifications:

Hi Jim,
That is the same one I purchased; I am awaiting my NUC to confirm it works correctly, but all the specs were consistent with the others being purchased.

I have a 90/100 watt 20 volt USB-C power supply I bought for a work project. I'll have to buy an USB-C to 5.5mm diameter adaptor.

Received a box in the mail today with “BEK” written on it. Wonder what it can be? So exciting….

Ive been meaning to mention this. The version of kodi i have been running is about 2 years old, maybe older. Im one of those if it aint broke dont fix it kinda guys. It runs off of a mini windows based pc, small but considerably larger than a NUC.

Besides the upgraded visuals and expanded artist artwork that Garry has put together here, one of my favorite things is the remote. I still use a wireless keyboard to control the mini pc in my surround rig. i have used a keyboard for control since i started using kodi. But those days are gone. The functionality of these little remotes and the ease with which it can control the interface is quite commendable.

I'll still keep a keyboard nearby because its needed with the windows PC. i use it for other stuff like netflix, sirius XM and such, but for everyday kodi usage, that little remote is unparalelled in my experience.

I'm really happy to hear this about the remotes. One of the things that's kept me from switching to Kodi before now is the fact that its UI behaves unlike any other Windows program, and consequently it's been hard to learn how to navigate, find my way (back) to particular menus and controls, etc. It sounds like the remote will make that a breeze!

For some inexplicable reason, USPS sent my shipment off on a slight detour(a couple of towns over from me). I guess I will just have to wait until tomorrow to officially become a kNUCklehead.

Edit: I suppose that if I was Canadian I’d be a caNUCklehead.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised
