Linux Support for Raspberry Pie... (1 Viewer)

[Zeze21]

Hey, since the Raspberry Pie computers are now actually shipped, i was wondering if there will be ever such a thing as a linux support for those devices with mediaportal.
Would be surely great - those things need like no power (usb is enough) yet are able to give out hdmi 1080p
If you use one of there just as the end user client - that would - i think greatly increase the possibilites with mediaportal...

For me the RaspPi looks like a great opportunity, too, but I think we will never see a Linux port of MP.
Maybe there is a chance for a Linux-based MP-client? XBMC is a possible starting point, maybe the RaspPi will help to get more people interested in having XBMC as a fully functional MP-client (including live tv, timeshifting, etc.).

i just ment a client which is able to recieve all the streams etc - raspi won't be strong enough itself to run a server i guess

That is what I had in mind, too.

Would be fine or an iOS Client for aTV

looking forward to test my RasPi soon with openelec (xbmc) as client
It should be ok with mp tv server later on ...or maybe it already is...

Yes, experiences please
tompa: you might have a look at http://www.raspbmc.com/ too

I'd really love to see a MP client running on such a small hardware.. RaspPi, aTV, Chromebox, ... a lot to work with

Please post your experience

...just need the board first should be here any day now

Builts for openelec is already there - http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/openelec-rpi/

Will also test with ftr-sever, that also has xbmc client possibility!
