XBMC on Raspberry Pi - Wonder if this will work out? (Historical Discussion Thread)

Newbie here...

Got xbmc running on openelec last night. Added my video source (NAS) and test playback which was awesome. I don't recall EXACTLY what else I changed in settings but it was minor (time, overscan, etc). Using the default skin. I have since power-cycled and now after xbmc starts I am hung with the "bubbles" on the screen and no index. Same thing after subsequent reboots. Wondering where to go from here.

it is maybe some libraries / database problems. don't allow libraries updates at the start. you could ssh into the pi and remove the sources, to see if that helps...

Thank you, the updates were the problem. All good so far....although when the device goes into power save mode (screen dims) it doesn't recover properly (screen stays dim). Everything is functional, but can't see until the device is rebooted. Anyone??

Open Source ARM userland

"the first ARM-based multimedia SoC with fully-functional, vendor-provided (as opposed to partial, reverse engineered) fully open-source drivers, and that Broadcom is the first vendor to open their mobile GPU drivers up in this way."

Hi guys
Is it possible to downmix the highest AC3, DTS, DTS-MA of bluray x264 rip smoothly from USB disks?
Sam, what about e.g. RC5?
Thank you

Is anyone haveing trouble getting video to play past about 15minutes with Raspberry pi running frodo?
