Hi,

really great work !

Please keep on refining it.

Do you think you will be able to

play 1080p videos in H.264 MKV format in the future in full speed 30 frames/sec ?

Or will it only play standard resolution files

like 480p and 576p ?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Stefan.

That is my ultimate goal. I cannot say if and when I will achieve it though. Sorry

[MrSircube]

looks great! so this really could be run on OpenPandora?

[Michael McGeagh]

Can run (theoretically) on anything thats arm based (preferably v7a architecture) and has OpenGL ES 2.0

Will this be capable of any interoperability with Ti-Openmax (e.g. the DSP-based H.264/MP4 acceleration)

I don't have high hopes, given that XBMC isn't gstreamer-based (mplayer-based, I believe), never mind the fact that unlike VDPAU I don't know if openmax is even compatible with the GLSL overlay XBMC uses, but if by some miracle it worked it'd be a killer combo on a portable.

Only XBMC for xbox is mplayer based, the rest uses DVDPlayer, and in-house built media player using ffmpeg.

I have not looked into OpenMax yet, so cant say much about it, but will be looking into it when the time comes. Thanks

This is great.

I am working on Planet ITB-3001 Set Top Box using RTD1073

This STB has basic interface and VLC experimental port, It is low priced STB and I am trying to port XBMC on it. I'll be obliged if I can get any help from you or anyone who is on your forum.

Thanks

I second that question. A Rasberry Pi version would be great. Would it even need a port or could your port run on that?

[badassredskin]

Are you going to try this out on a raspberry pi?

fire up some 1080p x264

How's this project going? it would be awesome to be able to eventually hack the new arm cortex A8 based Apple A4 iTV and run XBMC on it!

[Zachstar2000]

Any updates on this?

[Cobalt961]

amazing!

Are you coding it so that anyone with a beagelboard can run this directly with xbmc, what I mean is can you switch on the device via a remote control and show it boot directly into XBMC? Will this be possible?

Will we see commercial products like this any time soon

blender sighting!
