Hey guys,
I've been using xbmc for years now. Started at the late stages of version 9 and have followed in through to Frodo. I'm loving the new developments. Anyway to the point.
As my media collection has development I've moved from a media server type PC next to the TV to a FreeNAS server hidden away in the house and a mini HTPC about the size of a shoebox. The server houses all the media, the HTPC is just a playback device. The network connection is 100Mbps EoP to the server. I've very fond of the fancier skins and love it when they work smoothly. I've tried using the Pivos Xios, but it seems to struggle a bit.
My ultimate goal is to have something on the scale of Apple TV/XIOS that has the guts to runs the fanciest of skins flawlessly and smoothly play 1080p video. Does anyone know of the perfect option?
Thanks
