16:07 <wh0kaers> Hey guys, how is libreelec different from openwrt (for my router)?

16:12 <}8]> theyre practically the same, why?

16:14 <IPFreely> That's why I'm wondering, why. :p

16:21 <IPFreely> Can I use LibreELEC for consumer-grade routers such as TPlink or Netgear?

16:24 <pragmaticenigma> No

16:36 <pragmaticenigma> IPFreely, you were in here earlier asking about headless operation, and I told you... that's not an intended use case and wouldn't be supported. As for the "similar" that is reference to supporting infrastructure of the OS. (Same kernels, networking libraries, etc.) OpenWRT is specialized for Networking Management. LibreElec is specialized for multimedia management and display. The things that LibreElec needs to operate are

16:36 <pragmaticenigma> not necassarily going to be available in OpenWRT.

16:37 <pragmaticenigma> IPFreely, Primarily LibreElec requires a display driver as it is intended to be display on a screen. OpenWRT will not have that. If you try to launch KODI without a display it will error out

16:39 <IPFreely> Cool, thanks

16:43 <}8]> nice trolling dude

16:44 <}8]> lol @ openwrt wont necessarily have whats needed

17:01 <pragmaticenigma> doesn't make sense to me why OpenWRT would have any display drivers, virtual or otherwise included in its build, beyond being able to put text on a screen

17:32 <pragmaticenigma> Oh, I see the disconnect }8] ... this person had started this conversation in #kodi a few days ago

17:33 <pragmaticenigma> they're claiming that running a pi is too expensive for space and power draw... so they want to run it headless somewhere and use VLC to stream content to the Chromecast enabled TV

18:00 <IPFreely> Is that.. practical?

18:23 <pragmaticenigma> no
