I want to use my raspberry pi 2 as an media center and use movies from my usb HDD Now the problem is that it runs short on power for that usb HDD (my usb hdd uses 2 usb ports btw)
Now I found an old usb hub with external power supply (5v, 2A) and I have a small box where I can fit both the usb hub and the Pi in, to keep everything clean I want to make those 2 power cables into 1, this ain't that hard but now the problem:
The hdmi port is on thesame side as the power in port, so my question is can I give power to it without having to access this port? Will this have any cons/pros and how can I do this?
