Anyway to Install on Android?

Okay, so I don't know what that guys network is like or what the hell he has done to his Pi, but i've had mine for just over a week now and have had nothing but flawless playback of movies, TV and music. Better than my PS3 actually.

He moans about not being able to play 700MB-1GB files over his local networkHuh I've played a 10Gb+ 3D Bluray rip with about 5-10 seconds of buffering at the very start, then nothing more but 3D glory throughout, streamed from a wireless Windows 7 PC. No "powerful server" here. The only thing I have done is turned the overclock settings in the RaspBMC config program to "Fast", and have it running from a USB3 memory stick rather than the SD card (though this is mainly for cache reasons and doesn't affect playback i believe). Again, nothing special.

His probably doesn't work because of one of three things;

1. He's messed with his settings somewhere either on the Pi or over his network
2. He has the 250MB version of the Pi, not the 500MB
3. He has a duff Pi

But for some strange reason, the one they're using in the 'studio' seems to work pretty good doesn't it?

Anyway, you obviously don't have one and haven't experienced one first hand and I can understand you being a bit dubious because of this. Put simply, if you haven't tried it yourself, don't slam it. You refer to one video of someones 'not working right', but there are TONS of videos of peoples Pi setups that work excellently. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5TafdPPwnc and skip ahead to 6:00 if you just want to see the streaming side of things. He has done pretty much the same as me and i'm guessing many other happy Pi users.

Back to the topic at hand, I also have trouble installing XBMC to my android tablet and phone. XBMC shuts down while performing the initial setup on both devices (Cheapo dual core 7" tablet and HTC One X).

Not that bothered though...I have a Pi Big Grin
