I agree with hdmkv. The RPi2 is great. I say this having just setup to players using them. I had tried the original RPi but found them underpowered and unusable with my library. The RPi2 on the the other hand is working great even using heaver weight skins (e.g. Aeon MQ 5 for Kodi 14 Helix). Part of this could be because I moved to using MySQL but the skin handling has to be because of the increased power of the RPi2.
@hdmkv, Why you say that ISO is not supported yet. I've been playing DVDs ripped as ISOs for some time now.

- Need to pay VC-1 and MPEG2 license. Inexpensive, but it's per device
- Video playback caps out at about 60Mbps. May just be sufficient for 3D Blu-rays with high bitrate peaks (still need to test)
- ISO isn't yet supported
Other than above, great little gadget for about $70 (board + 16GB mSD card + power supply + case).
