The creditcard one, or the memory stick size one?

The upper is Rasp, the lower is FXI.

pettergulbra · 2012-03-13, 23:33

What will people think. Raspberry or FXI?

Subliminal Aura · 2012-03-14, 00:15

FXI by a country mile.

Raspberry is exceptionally weak FPU and ALU

BORIStheBLADE · 2012-03-14, 01:27

Whats the price of the fxi?

pettergulbra · 2012-03-14, 13:12

I don`t know the price. But I will think it is more expensive than Rasp.

Would any of them run windows? Or is that to hevy.
I ask because to use it to play BD disc, then it have to use external player like PDVD TMT5 or something like that.

If it can handle windows, or another things that can play orginal BD discs I would gladly pay that.

holy crap... that usb stick can run XBMC live? hardware accelerated? shoot I'd buy one. only thing missing is a TV tuner Smile

Well god yes that FXI better be faster for the extra money.

I think at this rate your comparing very different computers now.

pettergulbra · 2012-03-14, 23:20

BORIStheBLADE:
Yes I know there is to very different computers. But this is the only two I know of. In this kind of size.
But I think the FXI is best of them, but I`n not an good tech guy in this stage.

And, yes, it would be nice to have a small one like this, to be at the TV.
And it would be cool to connect a BD drive, and watch a BD disc in XBMC.
I know FXI can run Linux, after what I have read around the net. But is there a program like Power DVD that
can handle BD with menus and stuff? Or is this just windows?

pettergulbra · 2012-03-16, 18:27

Nobody that know if one of these can run Win?

Or is it possible to use external player in Linux, that we can play BD discs with menus?

- no both (or all ARM devices) cant run windows. (if you have read win8 supports arm: only if preinstalled from vendor, and it can only run metro apps)
- XBMC for linux can handle BD's via libbluray (for encrypted content only with a license key). BD Menu support is WIP (see roadmap).
- if you look for a more powerfull and cheap device then a RPi, look at www.solid-run.com. The Cubox comes with (compared to a RPi) a powersupply, Case, Optical out, eSATA, 1GB RAM, faster CPU, IR receiver (buildin), CEC chip (buildin, but not supported by libcec), 2GB micro SDcard, 1GB LAN

pettergulbra · 2012-03-16, 19:27

So, after what I could find out. It is not supported to play encrypted BD discs in Linux?
I could see there is some workarounds but that they don`t play the menus.

Have I misunderstood?

thats no problem of linux, because its (theoretical) possible, its a problem of the content industry, they dont allow free solutions.

As a user who want to play a BD disc legally you must pay licenses 3 times:
- for the hardware (the BD drive)
- the software (the player)
- with the disc

pettergulbra · 2012-03-17, 22:29

Yeah, and that why I hate this. But as it is the only solution. Then I have to do that.

But, is there any solution in Linux that cost money and are legally?
Like PowerDVD in window?
