oh-tomo Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I would like to run Kodi on my Win10 VM. Not to play video, just to do database additions/corrections remotely. Would any PCIe x1 Video Card allow me to do it? One x1 slot is all I have left open on my motherboard. (x16 and x1 are taken for SATA and USB.) What's a good x1 video card to get? And I assume I'd get a side benefit of audio playback over HDMI from the video card for programs like Winamp too, no? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 You shouldn't don't need a video card at all for your primary stated goal, VNC should work just fine. Quote Link to comment

Maybe this would work? https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=59800 Quote Link to comment

And the download link page doesn't have the executable. Quote Link to comment
