My current TV setup is to have a raspberry pi2 running kodi, connected to a normal computer monitor. This is achieved by using a HDMI to VGA adapter similar to this: http://goo.gl/8VjJ6M
The adapter is not powered in any way. This was an issue with the original pi, as it would cause the capacitor handling the HDMI port to overload & stop working. But the pi2 can handle it with no problems.
I am interested in replacing my TV setup with pine64 running android, as it can handle netflix. But I need to make sure my adapter won't burn out a capacitor on the pine64 or cause other problems. Will this be an issue? The pi has lots of settings for outputting to weird stuff via the HDMI port. Will the pine64 be capable of this?
Thanks!
