[QUOTE="Olli123, post: 971635, member: 118653"] HI there, i also try to implement my pi as a MePo client. I spend a lot of time in it already. What i found out so far: There is a big bug inside the omxplayer. The omxplayer is used to view live tv on the pi. I have tried serval distros for the pi (i.e. raspbmc / openelec) with all the same problem -> [B]live tv is not possible on the pi.[/B] Everytime you want to start live tv, the pi leaks its memory and kills xmbc! This problem has been confirmed in many other forums and is known. So NO LIVE TV right now :( AmpDroid is a great tool but it is not useable as a MePo replacement. There are a lot of functions missing (i.e. bad EPG browsing, no EPG search, no advanced recording programming). I dont know when or even if the XBMC team is going to fix the problem with the omxplayer...... they seemed to be occupied with the xbmc android port. Also i dont know anything about a adroid OS for the pi. Don´t get this wrong now but the weakest point of the MePo is its missing compatibility to other OS or mediaplayers. Maybe it will become open to this some time. [/QUOTE]
