RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - wrxtasy - 2015-07-22 As I own both devices, a little comparison: Updated 15.Jan.16 ODROID-C1[+] click HERE
Note: AMLogic S8xx SoC's like the one found in the C1(+) can only output lossy 5.1 AC3 / DTS Audio only. No 7.1 HD Audio Passthrough (bitstreaming) on either device. Known Issues:
RPi2: Jarvis / OpenELEC:
Interesting Reading: Do you actually need HD audio, or HD to PCM. Can you even hear the difference with the speakers you have ? Informed discussion HERE RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - MediaPi - 2015-07-22 wrxtasy what about colour reproduction of C1 compared to Pi2? Why are openelec reluctant to support this device? I would get one instantly if openelec supported this, I'm guessing most of the work is already done. RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - wrxtasy - 2015-07-22 Already answered... Quote:This is a subjective thing but using the same settings and same HDMI port on the TV, I see the C1 having a little bit more color saturation than my RPi2.Noggin is eagle eye video guru, so he may be able to answer some more. OpenElec have now teamed up with Wetek, who have the older less capable AMlogic AML8726-MX Dual-Core ARM Cortex A9 in their Wetek Play. I was seriously considering a Wetek Play at one stage, but wanted 1080p HEVC that the cheap S805 provides. Excellent Deinterlacing was a surprise bonus. It may be a business decision on OpenElec's part. I don't know. http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/04/25/amlogic-stb-socs-comparison-aml8726-mx-s802-s805-and-s812/ Now if OSMC came to support the new C1+ as a cheap 1080p HEVC decoding distro, well that would make life interesting.... (The C1 has a Debian Jessie image available already) Once the new Kernel for Linux / Ubuntu gets sorted out to support 23.976/59.94Hz video output properly and HEVC support is added to the Unofficial OpenElec (being slowly worked on), this will be the distro to go for.

Can you dual boot the openelec and the android fw?.... RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - MediaPi - 2015-07-22 sorry wrxtasy, missed that completly thanks RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - wrxtasy - 2015-07-22 (2015-07-22, 16:54)sandogo1 Wrote: Where is the best place to order one from I'm never happy with what I have.I got mine straight from the HardKernel Webstore, shipped straight from S. Korea as shipping charges were quite a bit less than anywhere else I could find. http://www.hardkernel.com/main/shop/good_list.php?lang=en Distributors Worldwide would be here: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/distributor.php The only issue is they are currently sold out till the new improved C1+ comes out early August. Maybe some of the distributors are taking pre-orders. You would only need a case, Sandisk UHS-1 Class 10 microSDHC and possibly the cheap Remote control to get started if you don't have a usb FLIRC. The new C1+ can be powered through the micro usb OTG port if you have one of those cables. I just used the USB-DC Plug Cable. Quote:Can you dual boot the openelec and the android fw?....Yes Dual or even Triple boot is possible, if you have a keyboard attached to select the Distro at boot. A Linux machine or Virtual Box is needed to make your own Triple Boot image though. I will be possibly posting an up to date Dual image soon. I also use a FLIRC usb dongle mapped as a Kodi keyboard to select boot options. FLIRC can be IR mapped to any spare remote you have lying around the house. It a brilliant piece of Kit. https://flirc.tv Triple Boot: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=8740 RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - sandogo1 - 2015-07-22 On the new ones is that the only difference is the charge port I need to find one now unless the new one is that much better to wait RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - MediaPi - 2015-07-22 are you from the UK sanogo1? If so check out the HP 260 G1, for not much more you got the gold standard in KODI RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - noggin - 2015-07-22 (2015-07-22, 16:03)wrxtasy Wrote: ODROID-C1: Rare? I don't think pop concerts, entertainment shows, classic TV shows, UK sitcoms and sporting DVDs are that rare... Basically anything shot interlaced video (aka 'tape' back in the day) and released on DVD is native interlaced. Also re : Pi 2 Quote:- HD Audio decoding to multichannel PCM or bit streamed to an AmpThe Pi 2 doesn't bitstream HD Audio to an amp, only legacy DD/DTS (same as ODroid in OpenElec) The Pi 2 will losslessly decode HD Audio to PCM for 48/96kHz tracks, though the couple of multichannel 192kHz tracks will be down sampled. The Pi 2 will also replay multichannel FLAC losslessly, whereas the C1 can only transcode them to DD 5.1 lossy, or output them as PCM 2.0 I haven't checked whether the C1 can output 96 or 192kHz and 20/24 bit audio as the Pi 2 can (albeit limited to 2.0 on the C1) I'd also put 23.976/59.94Hz support in Linux/OpenElec as a Pi 2 pro at the moment, and the CEC implementation appears to be better in OpenElec on the Pi 2. (Even if you have a v2 C1 with the modifications to fix the original design fault that stopped CEC working) RE: ODROID-C1 from Hardkernel is a $35 Development Board powered by AMLogic S805 - sandogo1 - 2015-07-22 No I'm in the us... What do they cost and u know where I can get one in the US?

What do they cost and u know where I can get one in the US? I don't think there is much point in getting one in the US. For some reason the Celeron and Pentium HP 260 G1s are being sold VERY cheap in the UK and EU. I think they are EOL and there was a lot of UK/EU stock in the channels. They don't seem to be anywhere near as cheap in the US. They are very similar to the Asus Chromebox, but the Celeron comes with Windows 8.1 (and they have DP + VGA not DP + HDMI video output so you need DP to HDMI adaptor for most HTPC uses) They also don't come with WiFi or Bluetooth. In the US I think Chromebox is usually a better value solution - particularly if you can find a discount or rebate that gets it down further in cost.
