Parsec is a game streaming application used to play video games remotely across a conntected network from a system in the cloud to your home computer. OSMC (short for Open Source Media Center) is a Linux distribution based on Debian that brings Kodi to a variety of devices. This addon brings the two together to create a seamless experience.
- Launch Parsec from OSMC/Kodi on your Raspberry Pi.
- Easily configure your Parsec connection from within the addon configuration menu.
- Automatically exit back into OSMC/Kodi after your Parsec session has ended.
- Seamlessly launch directly into your Parsec host without having to enter login or host selection information by enabling Headless Client Mode.

- On first launch, Parsec will ask you to enter your username and password.
You'll need to connect a USB keyboard in order to enter this in. - Parsec will then ask you if you want to save this information.
I reccomend doing so so that you won't have to do so again each time you launch Parsec from the addon.
