I saw a couple of posts back in May saying that this was an issue that Matt was investigating. Is this still an issue or is there a way to fix it? I installed it Aug 9th so it has a fairly recent copy of coreboot. Ubuntu was 14.04 which has an ok kernel but I could try mint if it is a kernel issue.

I just built one this weekend for a friend and it ran XBMC as good as my high end quad core i7 HTPC. I was truly amazed at how well it ran...even streaming HD movies via wifi. I still can't believe how well it performed. I don't think you could go wrong with it for $99.

As you say 60Hz is really an "Americas + a bit of Asia" format.
Quote:24 (or actually 23.976) Hz is a problem even in North America.Yes - but for some reason lots of 60Hz viewers are immune to 3:2 pulldown effects so happily watch 24p at 60Hz - as that is how broadcast TV has handled it for decades.
Quote:Which is why I wonder why anyone, anywhere, raves about Android/FireOS performance for video media.Me too... It's a pity Linux development for the platforms that run both Android and Linux appears to have ceased. It was a much better pure media player experience under Linux than Android - though I can understand people wanting Netflix etc. I'm still amazed that it's so hard to get a Netflix player solution that outputs 24p native.
