OpenELEC vs Windows - PV_XBMC - 2013-05-22 Hello, I am choosing OS for my main HTPC where I need 3D, 3D ISO, BD ISO, bitstreaming. I have read some time before that OpenELEC does not have every features, but things could change till now... (For info I have HTPC with i3 3225). Are these function possible on OpenELEC? (I suppose everything is possible on Windows 7 or 8) - 3D - 3D ISO - 3D ISO with menu - BD ISO - BD ISO with menu - bitstreaming Are there any other functions or features for choosing Windows 7 / 8 against OpenELEC? Thank you very much for your help. RE: OpenELEC vs Windows - nickr - 2013-05-22 What do you mean by 3D? MVC files (xbmc on any OS does not do) SBS or OU files (xbmc does on any OS) Re: RE: OpenELEC vs Windows - colemanuk - 2013-05-22 (2013-05-22, 01:31)PV_XBMC Wrote: Hello, Why not try openelec? Its free. It'll take 1 hour of your time. You can run of a usb stick, it doesn't have to be your main os. I have it installed on my hd. It does everything I want it to and my pc runs a lot faster without having windows to run as well. Only you can decide whether its any good RE: OpenELEC vs Windows - PV_XBMC - 2013-05-22 (2013-05-22, 10:55)nickr Wrote: What do you mean by 3D? I mean both: - 3D (SBS) - 3D ISO (Blu-ray format) Re: OpenELEC vs Windows - nickr - 2013-05-22 Well I have answered re both of those formats. RE: OpenELEC vs Windows - PV_XBMC - 2013-05-22 Yes, but on windows it has solution in usage external player that is called from XBMC. I think, OpenELEC does not have solution for it. Re: OpenELEC vs Windows - nickr - 2013-05-22 Sorry you didn't mention external players. I thought you were talking about xbmc not other software.

Definitely I can instal OpenELEC also on my new i3 3225 and try everything, but I think, that somebody know every limits of OpenELEC and I could make decision only on this.

But, If it is not possible, I am trying search other possibility... RE: OpenELEC vs Windows - whitebelly - 2013-05-22 3D ISO requires external players. I am not sure of the linux solution, but you can likely find windows solutions. I think there is a thread on AVSForum for that. If you can convert/rip your 3D to SBS or OU, then any XBMC distro will work, including OpenELEC.
