1323559 2013-01-23 00:12:00 Android and iOS both have an app that acts as a remote control. I have it on my phone and Nexus 7. Works a treat! Errors a bit on Jellybean when you first load it but functions fine once you hit "OK" twice. Chilling_Silence (9)
1323560 2013-01-23 01:28:00 I think chilling is talking about the wd tv live and SolMiester is talking about raspberry pi. I'm not sure which wireless keyboard/mice combos work with the pi but not all do. jonovw (16835)
1323561 2013-01-23 02:12:00 All do, it's a standard PC. Chilling_Silence (9)
1323562 2013-01-23 02:41:00 Quite excited about this, been waiting ages for an affordable media player for my network media....just installed the windows version of XBMC to see what it can do, lots of add-in...wicked! SolMiester (139)
1323563 2013-01-23 02:58:00 Yeah the add-ins slow it down a fair bit, being a slower device it's not the greatest to load it up with a ton of add-ins.
If you can offload DTS or AC3 audio processing to your home theatre or whatever like I do then that's also handy for easing the load.

1323564 2013-01-23 06:55:00 That's why I'm looking at this version instead here/ (http://openelec.tv/) runs off a flash drive gary67 (56)
1323565 2013-01-23 08:40:00 So does Raspbmc but you still need an SD Card to boot both distros.

Raspbmc has a real super easy windows installer thingy too :)

Let me know how you get on with that one Gary.....however I thought openELEC has read only install?, or something like that, add-ons may not work properly?

1323567 2013-01-23 23:42:00 Had a good play with mine last night, must say it feels good to have XBMC back again!
I noticed it didn't like playing back some of my *real* old music videos that are super poorly encoded and things (Like MPEG2 video and stuff)... But the newer videos that I've ripped from YouTube work perfectly ! :D
