Hey all, been following the thread on and off for some time and I decided to check back in because of all the news with the raspberry pi. I was blown away by the demo… That type of performance on a $35 dollar ARM board is really impressive. From what I understand it can only hardware decode H.264 because limitations in the hardware. Anyway, I was wondering what the status of XBMC on panda board is… I know it is massively more powerful than the raspberry pi so I would hope that it is at least running as well as that, hopefully better, but from the last few posts that doesn’t appear to be the case. I know awhile back someone was working on taking advantage of the hardware decoder on OMAP4 but has anything been done with that? What are the current builds capable of doing? Is it stable enough for daily use yet or is it still in the pet project stages? Anyways, thanks for all the hard work, I know a lot of you here have been doing a lot of great things to bring XBMC to the embedded computing world. I know a lot of people like me are eagerly awaiting a solid practical daily use release. Anyone has an itemized list of what the ARM port of XBMC can do (i.e. hardware accelerated video decode, high UI frame rates, quality end user experience…)?
