Raspberry Pi Media center - Page 2

nice i just ordered mine yesterday. cant wait to see more.

Nice looking start, I got mine about 2 weeks ago also. Temporarily I'm using a modified design of the pundet case printed with a 3d printer until I figure out what its primary use will be. As far as those inquiring about the OS's available I've tried tried most. On rotation now I have openelec and raspbmc being mostly used for its obvious xbmc media centre qualities. Raspbmc was by far the easiest to get a media centre up and running. Actually its pnp after flashing it to the SD card pop it in and its set to boot you right into xbmc as well as audio,ethernet etc. I oc it to 850 and pumped up the frequency a little bit. Openelec I feel will probably bring a better offering to the table soon enough plus it has more dev attention which is a good thing right now. The fedora remix I'd stay away from its the version I believe you can buy flashed as an accessory. Unless you have a strong knowledge of Linux or seriously want to learn it from ground zero. Debian wasnt bad I left that SD for another day, but I prefer arch Linux but that's probably me being bias as I run it daily and plan on contributing to its development for the pi. More back on topic with the thread I recommend checking out the wiki for compatible devices as you can get some very cheap accessories that look and work well such as the knock off harmony remote. Currently I'm using my tablet and or phone as my xbmc remote the official app for android worked pnp with raspbmc. Op sorry I took up so much room I just wanted to get anyone that wanted up to speed on a functional media center. This week when my arduino kit comes in ill get some pics up. Being that were on ocn I hope we can get some real sick mods going and optimize this thing. Have fun

Don't know much about the Rpi's. Does the HDMI not carry audio?

I am highly interested in the pi, might get a few and do a few builds like this myself.

Nice, its been running so much better now that we can overclock it properly. I want to make a new case myself, I just can't decide, right now I have it in an accrilyic mount. Check out adafruit.com they have so many great addons and interesting products.
