So the thing can't even do SD MPEG2? Sad...
I'm glad I didn't just get it to run XBMC...

Your best choice is an intel i7 which can do all for you. So please let's stay on topic and talk about the xbmc PI port and not your personal frustration that the PI doesn't fit your needs.
thx

I don't see how you come to those conclusions that no embedded device will fit my needs, that's simply not true...If the Pi shipped with all the CODEC support that the BroadCom SoC has the ability to decode, there wouldn't be any problem meeting my needs (Once the changes in XBMC to take advantage of the Hardware decoding is in place of course). But in either case, I, like you, feel there is nothing more to be gained by further discussion on the subject. However, My comments were not off topic. The thread is entitled "Raspberry Pi [HTPC] - Wonder if this will work out for XBMC??", and my comments and analysis were discussing exactly that...In summery: Yes, XBMC will run on the Pi and you can even play a limited selection of HD content on it thanks to its powerful video core and the two CODECs they licensed, but because of the compromises the Raspberry Pi foundation made, there are limitations as to what type of video content will be able to be played back on the device.
Cheers,
P.S. I'm not out to step on anybodies toes here, I hope my comments were not misconstrued as such. I'm not looking for a fight and I certainly don't hold any real ill will towards anyone here in the XBMC community or over at Raspberry Pi. I was just addressing some of the issues we are going to face (Myself included, as I am a Raspberry Pi owner and I will just have to be contented with the devices limited abilities for now, maybe down the road the rPi folks will get some kind of codec licensing deal for those who want it, in which case I will be more than happy to pay for the increased feature set).

Y not allow users to post their experience to educate folks who may be interested in this hardware.... especially if their main purpose for use is XBMC?
U should explain urself

It is one point educate people, another one is just complaining around and not reading posts full.
