Quite happy my pine has arrived :)

[Luke]

Well my pine 64 finally arrived.

No case but that can totally wait, got the wifi adapter as well. Overall pretty happy. Board looks pretty slick, bigger than i was expecting. 

Turns out my pc and card reader don't like that phoenix software for burning images to the micro sd cards. And then my card reader would not support my 64gb micro sd card (pain in the ***). But i found a spare 8gb micro sd.

Used another program, win 32 disk image thingey. Got the rooted android 5.1.1 on it. Had kodi downloaded before on a spare flash drive.

Fired it in the thing, plugged in, it booted up. Android ran pretty not bad, its slower than i was expecting, but i have faith in future updates we got some nice hardware acceleration and some tweaking and were totally golden.

So i installed kodi and ran the fusion addon installed, been watching supernatural for hours. Hard to do a reboot at one point, the screen was jerking around like up and down, even out of kodi, i presume i found a little glitch there.

But overall. I have seen so many people complain about the board, so i thought i should say something nice. It took a little while to arrive. So what ive had kickstarters take over a year before. The software is in no way polished. It will come dont worry. Hopefully it brings my plastic case too , but it suits my needs. Its replacing the amazon fire tv stick. Which runs like dog **** with kodi.

So overall, love it. And it can only get better : thanks guys, good job.

Thanks for sharing! 
Great that you got everything working relatively easily. Yea, its a bit doom and gloom on the forums at the moment but that will change with time I'm sure.  Currently on season 3 of supernatural - no spoilers please
