XBMCbuntu on Raspberry Pi? - brendch06 - 2012-03-26

Would it be possible to install XBMCbuntu on a 8GB (or larger) SD card to run on RaspberryPi? I ordered a RaspberryPi unit, but it will probably only arrive in May/June for me to test this.

If so, I'm excited to see if this could be a viable low cost HTPC solution- we've already seen the RaspberryPi running OpenELEC - how would this differ from running XBMCbuntu?

Keep checking this site for more information about XMBC on pi

Oh cool thanks- so to answer my question: XBMCbuntu will probably not work standalone on RaspberryPi, correct? Waiting for this build?


RE: XBMCbuntu on Raspberry Pi? - Predator04 - 2012-03-27

No i don't think it ever will either.
XBMCbuntu minimum and recommended hardware requirements

x86 (Intel/AMD-based) processor computer capable of booting to CD-ROM.

as the ras pi is a ARM processor.
i am very much looking forward to using xbmc with my pi. mine should be here sometime next month if all goes well Tongue Cant wait

Hey guys...

I WANT to get excited about XBMC on the Rpi as I have the same order in as you guys with an estimated ship date of 6MAY. But I cant get too excited until someone reveals in this community how it is working and what the performance is with different features within XBMC. If there is a link to a review similar to what I'm asking, please share it with me. As of now, I'm anxious but not excited until I hear a positive review. Thanx!!

EDIT** Wow, just checked expected ship date is now 2April12 which is next week.. Okay, a lil' excited!!

The first shipments were apparently sent back to the manufacturer for a problem with the LAN connectors and are going though testing again,


RE: XBMCbuntu on Raspberry Pi? - brendch06 - 2012-03-28

Yeah my Pi is expected to ship April 2nd- I'll make sure to update you guys as soon as I can get something up and running on it.

Maybe not full XMBCbuntu, but there is XBMC in the works for the Pi, which will be enough for most users I should hope Big Grin

Has anyone else received the shipping delay notice. Shipping date has now been pushed out until August for me!


RE: XBMCbuntu on Raspberry Pi? - NobodyHere - 2012-04-13

Did anyone here from the States order one? What was the price on the international shipping? Maybe you could list the closest major metropolitan city as a point of reference?


RE: XBMCbuntu on Raspberry Pi? - bluedevil229 - 2012-04-13

I did. Shipping was around $10 for me. To DC.
