Try OpenELEC on the PI. Idle load is lower and the remote(s) should just work.

Took a look at the Raspbmc as.xml and fanartheight is 560, shouldn't it be 540 as in 960*540?

So?? Huh

After all the MCE remote is working but is unusable to me, too many keys missing.

any videos out there to show performance?

RE: Raspberry Pi [HTPC] - Wonder if this will work out for XBMC?? - xbs08 - 2012-06-08

GUI performance is a bit sluggish but playback is fine Smile

So indeed.

I find it highly interesting that on your build instructions on your wiki you attempt to criticise my build process, on the grounds that it uses QEMU. In fact, it uses a user-mode QEMU for ARM debootstrapping of the squeeze base, rather than emulating an entire system. All building is x-compiled.

Perhaps their team should spend less time trying to degrade my work in words and try and do so in performance.

I will make no comments on what one is better, that is up to the users.

Good luck sraue.

There's quite a few posted on Youtube actually. Just search there for Raspberry Pi XBMC and you'll find a ton of them. Like xbs08 said, playback is fine, GUI is a bit sluggish but still usable.

hahaha, it's like a competition! Maybe it will breed something crazy better!

SORRY!!!!! I wasn't trying to criticize anybody's work. I think it's great and amazing that there are so many options for running XBMC on the Raspberry Pi and I'm truly amazed at the amount of work you all are putting into XBMC as a whole and with making it a great media center solution for the Raspberry Pi. I am not trying to say one is, or will be, better. Just making a suggestion to answer the poster's question as to which he should try now, which was based solely upon the number of builds, thus appearing as progress to me. Thank you to all of you for your work and efforts on this!

Can't talk about OpenELEC, cause I haven't tried it yet, but I must say I'm really impressed by Raspbmc.
Looking forward for next update.

most of my 1080p movies are like 10-15gb, has anyone tested to see if those large files playback smoothly?

can't find anything on youtube as they just say "here is the mkv of blah blah running ok" without any proper information on the files!

I'm not able to play 1080p flawless from 100mbit SMB shares. 720p files work perfect, but 1080p keep buffering once every two seconds.
With my computer I can play those files (with vlc) even via WiFi 54MBit.

Alle files are h264, some 2.0 some 5.1 audio, doesn't change anything.

I'm running OpenElec 20120607081449-r11263 at the moment.
