It uses a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, has 1GB RAM, integrated 802.11n wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.1. It uses a 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, has 1GB RAM, gigabit Ethernet, integrated 802.11ac/n wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.2. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B was launched in June 2019.
The Raspberry Pi 4 can drive up to two displays, with a resolution up to 1080p at a 60Hz refresh rate.
OSMC does not currently support Raspberry Pi 4 B. A) This is due to some fundamental HW or SW issue/changes in Pi or Kodi (I think Kodi which RPi is addressing). Due to these changes it could be up to a year (from Sam) before official OSMC RPi4B support.

How to Install RasPlex 1.7.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3, 2, 1, B+, Zero
- Step 1: What You'll Need.
- Step 2: Download the Image. Go to Click on "Get Rasplex"
- Step 3: Flash the Image. Open up Etcher and Click “Select Image”. Select the Rasplex Image we just downloaded.
- Step 4: Load Rasplex. Once you insert the MicroSD Card into your Raspberry Pi, it will load up.
The simplest way to back up your Raspberry Pi is to copy the entire SD card as an image. This technique is the reverse of flashing your SD card when installing an OS to it. Instead of copying an image file from your computer to the SD card, you copy the entire SD card to an image file on your computer.
Your Raspberry Pi Is Now the Ultimate Media Center
That's it: you can now stream Netflix and Amazon Video on Raspberry Pi, and it can easily stream video from another computer on your network via Plex. In short, your Kodi-based Raspberry Pi media center is awesome again.Fortunately the Raspberry Pi 3 is powerful enough to run the popular media server software, Plex, and with an external hard drive, we've got plenty of space for our library.
Because the Raspberry Pi is running Linux and is powered by an ARM processor, the plugins are unsuitable for reasons of compatibility and because they employ the Microsoft Silverlight software for streaming content. This is a proprietary system, so there is no way to access the stream. However, all is not lost.
Yes, you can use the Pi as a NAS server. But not FreeNAS per se: FreeNAS is built on a flavour of BSD, not Linux, and as far as I know, no ports of any *BSD in general, nor FreeNAS in particular, are planned. Synology NAS on the DataHoarder subreddit.
