I am not a Pi hater. Seriously. The Pi's are just the only major device/device category I personally haven't owned/fixed. I respect a device that can play most 1080p and de-interlace. And refresh rate match, I hate going backward on that. I have been meaning to get one for years and run my test clips through it (the set that kills the Crystal HD) but I just am so demanding about my HTPC setups that I never had a person use for one outside that. But I want to redo the thread in a bit to be more informative so let me ask some questions and I will include it:
-Single core box performance is what basically determines library count and GUI performance in my experiance (there are some MySQL tricks but I am talking local library). What library limit do you think the Pi (even overclocked) has? 500 movies? 1000? 2000? I am going to put in a scale. Every ARM device I have touched, excluding the new iPad, can't take my 2000 movies and have performance I find acceptable so I wonder about the Pi.
-Do you use light skins like Bello? Seems like it would fly on there. What is your FPS on Confluence? Aeon?
-Any plugins you know don't work? Or do work really well?
-Do you know if there is any color correction in hardware?
-Any other general advice/warnings?
Thank you in advance.
