Hello All,
This is my first post here and would like to get some feedback from users who have been using xmbc. Currently I have a desktop with Intel Xeon 3.0GHz processor and 1GB of RAM which has Centos installed on it. I have Plex Media Server installed on the system and access it using Rouk3 both of which are hardwired. With this setup I see a frequent buffering on the movie’s that I play, these movies are predominantly in .mkv format and the size vary from 1.5GB to maybe about 10GB. Superusers on Plex forum said the cause of buffering is a slower CPU and to get over this I have to upgrade my processor.
One other user pointed out to me that I can buy raspberry pi, install xbmc on it and my buffering issues would be gone. But before buying pi I wanted to be sure that this indeed would be the case, can someone please shed some more light on this? If you need any other information from my side please let me know.
Thanks,
