im looking for a small cheap XBMC box
i have looked at the
Raspberrypi
Pivos xios
gbox
tlbb
zbox
Intel nuc
my needs are
- analog audio out
- mysql support to share the media database
how hard would it be to setup mysql for the htpc xbmc and my new bedroom htpc xbmc do you only need to get the versions right and then setup the server?
basically its down to the raspberrypi or gbox
i have selected the gbox as for the added extra of android , less setup time and remote. whether that is a good choice or not i wont know?
after reading up that the gbox midnight mx2 hasnt released the source code i dont feel like supporting them though it would fit my situation the best.
have they complied with the gpl licence yet?
is this a legit version of the gbox - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/G-BOX-Midnigh...43e&_uhb=1
otherwise failing the gbox not releasing the source code its back to the raspberrypi
is this a good deal? - noting that buying separately i can get cheaper

is there auspi tv xbmc preloaded onto the sdcard good? or would you just buy an sdcard elsewhere and use the xbmc website version?
is a 4gb sdhc card fine or would i need more gb? i only plan on using xbmc maybe down the track looking at a web browser
would a faster class sd card perform better or is it limited by the sd card slot on the pi?
would i need a http://www.buyraspberrypi.com.au/shop/fl...-receiver/ or is the smart phone app good enough (im assuming this would just be the normal xbmc remote app)? and then add a wireless keyboard/mouse to it that i have laying around
