Hacking other devices
#1
I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for this, but I have to start somewhere, so if it's not perhaps someone can recommend a better place.

First off, I love XBMC. While Plex is a great solution, it's front end is pretty much limited to connecting to the back end. XBMC is an end to end solution.

That being said, I hear lots of talk about hacking the AppleTV's out there to put boxes and XBMC on it, but has anyone ever put thought into flashing other devices like perhaps a Samsung Blu-Ray player to make it more useful? My Samsung Blu Ray player is model BD-P1600. It's capable of streaming Netflix, Pandora, and Blockbuster video. So this seems like it would be a great platform to flash with something like Ubuntu with XBMC media player running on it.

While the blu ray part of it works great, it could definitely be more useful.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts let me know.
