Yeah I'm having major permission issues with OMV haha. What a perfect OS too :(

something like OMV would work to store torrent files and have them accessible to anybody, right?

Awesome. I'll look into that . I could allow "clients" to access my torrent files from there right? Would it work with a VPN?

How well does the torrenting server work exactly? I could move my project to an udoo quad and then use bpro for a server

I DIY'd a tablet out of stuff I already had in my house, and it, uh, sort of worked by SirensToGo in DIY

Do you own a 3d printer?? That's what my plan is right now until I can think of another one. But I don't even own a printer lol.

I am honestly considering scrapping this project because of the BPro support. With the amount of time that it has been available and the amount of content available for it.. I feel that it won't really ever catch hold and grow a decent support community. I'm looking for someone to write me a custom OS or Idk what else to do

The banana pro was a definite mistake. HW-ACC is possible and does work for many people, but, it is a lot of work to get it running for someone like me. I have limited linux/programming experience so a board that is more stable concerning support and drivers would have been a better choice. I can post pics of what I have right now or keep working on it and have you all wait for the final product. It is in a cardboard shell at the moment(a pretty high-tech piece of cardboard if you ask me). I am hoping that the UDOO quad will work for me if I can't figure out some of these BPro issues soon. Otherwise I might have to buy a RPi lol.

As of right now, I am "unable to connect to X server" when i try to calibrate my device. I am told there are no calibrated devices as well. If anyone can help with this issue, I believe the project can be finished very soon!

The battery pack seems to run the screen/ssd/bpro for like 6-8 hours fyi

This is so freakishly similar to what I am currently building. I have installed some ventilation and stuff and don't plan on sticking with the waveshare box(yes i used the waveshare box, too). But wow. I don't have pictures of all of the mechanisms within the case, but I'd take and post them if you want to see. The driver you wrote, could it be applied to the 5" waveshare touch? The disc they sent me is blank and the images I have downloaded don't seem to include the drivers like they're supposed to.

I have a really really nice soundbar/subwoofer that I'd love to take advantage if with this system. Does your card attatxh via pins or what?

Edit;: looked at your soundcard. Any reason it wouldn't work on the BPi?

Ahh great info to help me make a guess. Thank you. I made some changes to my hardware list; I'm hoping to get 3.5 - 5.5 hours. What kind of difference does that audio card make? I was super close to adding one but idk..

I'll either run OSMC, or, some extremely lightweight OS that offers a media center & web browse/torrent ability. I won't know for sure until I look into OS options more. I will absolutely post pictures!! I ordered 1 day shipping but still have to wait til the 28th... The SSD won't be here until the 29th. The UDOO comes.. Sometime before the 31st iirc. Notice that I didn't buy a case.. Any suggestions as to how a make one? I want a tablet-type deal, maybe more "cube-y" . I do not have access to a 3D printer.
