    Looks like the beginning of the end for the lower end Vu+ models then, although personally XBMC is not really of any particular interest to me.

    For me this is brilliant, so anyone know when and how it will be available or how to find out?

    Hi,
    personally I do not care about this animations nobody really needs. They should leave it it DMM to make such a nonsense. They should improve the streaming abilities.

    Think this is a brilliant idea.
    Being able to do most things under one umbrella should have been done a long time ago.
    But can see certain people at the top of a very slippery slide not thinking so.

    I've used xbmc (now kodi) for about two years now. I find it excellent as a music/video database and in the past 9 months or so it plays all formats of high definition sound on the linux platform (something I can't say of Vix or any of the Open MIPS/ATV images). However, I found that xbmc sucked at sat/terrestrial TV and PVR functions on the linux platform. It would be an ideal solution for me if I could combine my media player requirements and PVR into one platform.

    Exactly; it's all about superfluous nonsense. I wouldn't allow a box in my house with all kind of fun fair 'attractions'.

    What do you mean by that?

    LOL that has nothing to do with an image, but with the hardware. There is no way that video-codecs can be added to the limited hardware capabilities our STB's can offer.

    And that's exactly the point. After all a (satellite) receiver is there for (satellite) reception, and Enigma2 is a very versatile program that (so far) hasn't bene beaten by any other.

    That can/could indeed be done. Only thing you need is a full blown PC to run e.g. E2 instead of the actual STB's. Downside is a 20 times higher power consumption..... It makes quite a difference running a PC 24/7 or an STB; the latter uses overall only 20W.

    Actually best option IMHO is still an E2 box as receiver and a dedicated mediaplayer for playing all kinds of media.

    Or even better: stop trying to play all kinds of badly coded files 'found' on the internet. As our STB's are perfectly capable of playing correctly coded files.

    BTW: I have no idea were the title "vu xbmc preview test" stems from; this has nothing whatsoever to do with XMBC, it's just about (horrible) menu animations.

    Hi Rob,
    put your glasses on and take a second look at the videos:-)

    In 1. video you see xbmc launcher and 2. video shows cover flow of xbmc and I asume it is perhaps on a VU.

    XBMC is a nice start but without bluray-/dvd-iso (best would be with menu), HD sound and WMV<9 it is no replacement of a real PC/mediaplayer.

    ciao

    Hi,
    nothing really interesting in this German thread. The changes to XBMC for the "bcm gles api" will most likely be closed source. No ETA yet:-(

    I browsed through the xbmc (kodi) forum last night and no serious development seems to be being done for the Broadcom STB platform although there are a number of users trying compiles etc. Any candidates will likely come from higher end STBs with dual core 1.3GHz and > 1GB RAM. Drivers likely to be an issue also. Timeframes uncertain.
