Installed XBMC Live from XBMCFreak Nuvoton 10.00 v2 and everything worked straight off:
- Power on/off via remote
- HDMI video
- Optical audio
- Navigation sounds
Cannot test HDMI audio (no HDMI receiver), and did not test wireless networking (am all wired). Can't think of anything else right now as everything just works. The box is silent. Blue power LED is turned off via BIOS setting, there is an occasional orange flicker of the small HDD light which lets me know its on.
My only comment against it would be that the in built IR receiver is behind the front air intake grill, so there is not a huge margin of error in pointing the remote at it. You pretty much have to point straight on. But it works fine when you do.
Also the drive is one of those slim notebook type "plop" drives - it just plops out a bit when you press the button. Not the fullsized desktop drive similar to what you get in an actual dvd/bd player that extends and retracts fully and automatically. Cosmetic observation only.
Obviously plays all media fine and looks awesome on 50" Viera Panasonic Plasma.
No regrets buying it. Tiny black shiny box looks good with other AV equipment.
I've got this model also, but I cant install XBMC Live from XBMCFreak Nuvoton 10.00 v2. It keep saying: login to many connections when it boots. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
