And, with Windows, it doesn't feel like a media player (that quick, 'power on and just use' set-top box feel). This even with a script to auto-mount the ISO and have TMT play it (set-up I had at one point), and it's also an external player solution (as Kodi is relying on TMT or PDVD to play the ISO). HiMedia Q5 and RPi2 are more elegant (and cheaper) options. And, M8R and PCH if you don't need Kodi, but in my case, as I love Kodi, I won't do without.

i don't like h 265 , it's a loss copy of loss copy ... i alway watch remux or iso.
If you re-encoding video h264 to h265 you a lot of information and quality, i think it's not good way.
yes my PCH A400 is turned off from 2 month... i watch all with q5,,, i won't come back.

as the Pi is capable of decoding most surround sound formats losslessly to PCM,
is there a way to output those and feed them to 8 amplifiers without using an AVR?

Only if you add an 8 channel sound card. Otherwise it goes via HDMI.

FWIW :
- I have a Minix box with experimental amlogic firmware on which mk3d / mvc is working
- I'm busy "reverse-engineering" ssif (the mvc files on a bd iso) and I have a pretty good idea on the way to go, now.
So there is hope to get 3d iso on some devices pretty soon...

Amlogic is arm. Android mostly, but OE now officially supports a Linux port.
