Requirement Questions?
#1
Hi,

I'm looking to setup a media system, and I've stumbled across XBMC.. And I have two quick questions that I couldn't find documented.

1) Is Netflix and Hulu streaming still supported?

2) Can I setup XBMC on a large server, and stream content (Such as Hulu/Netflix) via wifi to smaller machines around the house? I'd like to put small/quiet machines in the living areas.. Will decent resolution be obtainable ths way?

Thanks
David

1. Only if you have some UPnP server serving them up to XBMC (PlayOn does this I think?)
2. HD decoding performance needs a decent GPU or CPU. The ION boxes are reasonably small. I'd _strongly_ recommend against WIFI if you want full 1080p playback, though for 720p in some circumstances it might do OK. It really depends on the setup, how much traffic is going through at once, and how much bandwidth you have spare.

Cheers,
Jonathan
