Most of all I do not like noise. Even the minimal noise from an external hard drive keeps me from falling asleep for a long time.
Therefore, I decided to equip my home media center only with silent (in extreme cases, low noise) components.
There was a PC (in the office), an external WD MyBook 1TB hard drive connected to the TV, a Yamaha YSP-900 sound projector, where the toslink sound was output (it's kind in the room for watching movies, that is, in the bedroom).
The Samsung B550 TV, 2009, although it shows movies from USB (after shamanism with settings), but not all, also does not know how to stream DTS to the projector. Cheap WDTV Live Streaming 2012 was chosen for watching movies, famous for its omnivorous. However, the hard drive continued to make noise and interfere with both viewing and sleeping.

Therefore, the hard drive was transferred to the office, and connected to the newly purchased Raspberry Pi, after which it was reformatted to ext4.
The Raspberry Pi itself is powered by the computer’s USB port (this scheme also works during deep sleep).
Further tutorial on the Raspberry Pi setup
1.
Install the latest version of Raspbian www.raspberrypi.org/downloads on the card
2.
Change boot settings (for fullHd screen)
disable_overscan = 1
hdmi_group = 1
hdmi_mode = 16
arm_freq = 800
Setting the frequency to more than 800 requires additional cooling, otherwise the system will be unstable and will hang tight on complex tasks.
3.
Change wheezy to jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list, rename /etc/apt/sources.list.d/collabora.list and /etc/apt/sources.list/raspi.list with ~
4.
Update sudo apt-get dist-update && sudo rpi-update
5.
Configure SSH access by keys (http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-ssh-with-public-key-authentication-debian-etch and www.howtoforge.com/ssh_key_based_logins_putty), disable the password entry
6. Now you need to have a
permanently mounted USBIt is done this way.
sudo blkid -c / dev / null
/ etc / fstab
UUID = ae614151-2654-4ca0-88ee-4fc97a62c048 / media / WD_MyBook_1 ext4 relatime, errors = remount-ro 0 1
UUID = 17f5c5ce-6fde-48ce-98c7-b78d42205e9c / media / WD_MyBook_2 ext4 relatime, errors = remount-ro 0 1
8. On jessie there is a
problem with locales . Fix

On Android I watch movies through BubbleUPNP
15. Install Firebird 2.5

Additional buns :
15.1. I installed etherwake, and if necessary, I remove the main computer from hibernation remotely via SSH
15.2. wrote a script in PHP to automatically switch to the backup ADSL channel if the main provider dies (ASUS DSL-N10 B1 router does not do it automatically), put it in the cron
15.3. As it turned out, WDTV Live Streaming does not know how to show BD Remux, but it shows perfectly BD-ISO. Therefore remuxes are distilled in ISO genisoimage -allow-limited-size -o .iso
15.4. Disconnected extra tty
15.5. Collected elinks2
15.6. Wrote a console version of the game 2048
github.com/AndriiZ/2048Plans :
1. Connect mono as fastcgi, raise ASP.NET MVC website
2. Connect the temperature and humidity sensor. Made by
github.com/AndriiZ/RaspberryPI/tree/master/SmartHouse 
3. Raise Internet Radio on Raspberry
Total: Raspberry Pi downloads and distributes content, WDTV Live Streaming and its tablet shows. And silence, because the computer, removable hard drive and Raspberry Pi are in a separate office.
Raspberry Pi is the perfect thing to experiment with.
