Forgot to order the microUSB power supply. However, I am heading to Lowyat Plaza. Where can I find a compatible PSU for the Raspberry Pi (Model B)? I'll bring my Raspberry Pi along just to confirm it fits.
*
As long the psu supply more than 1000mA of 1A

anyone has circuit so i can use 9v battery for phone or pi use or just connect to the terminals and route output to the pi?
*
Use the 7805 to pull down the 9v battery voltage to 5,then buy the USB Header,sorder them (for pi,just need sorder 2 pins out of the USB 4 pins)

For 7805,the schematic can be found in the data sheet,involving 2 capacitor..my stuff got here with my pi,but have to wait until my stpm is over before I could start building it sad.gif

This sound stupid. But how to order from R-Pi? I'm very confused. IINM, can use M2U right? But the interface and how to doesn't really help. Anyone willing to help me to buy without extra charge? Hehe... Order price is RM 117.59 for 2 items. I think another RM20 for postage?
*
Just buy it,they will deduct rm20 automatically if u follow the instruction (u could try not putting anything as the staff will help u with the deduction)

For M2u,just follow the instruction,won't go wrong..

Hmm, minimum is 0.7A right? But my Pi won't boot up unless it's 1.0A.
*
Yeap,but I seen ppl running less than 0.7A,just unstable..u must had plugged a lot of USB that draws power then,haha

Nope,look at the circuit board,it does show where it came from,plus if your audio jack is blue in color,it's from uk,yellow=china

My first one has light blue for the audio jack, and has Made in the UK on the board. Will see the second one when GDex delivers it. Called them today and they said they'll rearrange delivery again. Yesterday was a no-show, no idea when they'll attempt the next one though.

As long u download it down and watch it,as raspbian doesnt support flash natively..google around about rmvb player and download manager for Linux,u will find plenty

My order just got cancelled by element14. I was informed that they only deal with business customer now. Their sales recommend me to buy from their approved resellers i.e ThunderMatch and Fintex. Call

Anyone with similar experience?

I'm going to buy one today. Planning to get the Belkin USB 4-Port Powered Desktop Hub.
More expensive but it's powered and it's Belkin. flex.gif It comes with a power cable btw.

Lol, I'm a poor kid only mate. I've got no idea how to design my own USB hub.
And my soldering skills are pretty bad to say the least. rolleyes.gif
But you could link me/help me design, I'll really appreciate it and will buy you a cuppa! biggrin.gif
Yes, RPi is powerful enough for playing AVI-contained movies encoded in Xvid @ FHD 1080p resolution.
However, when you access the menu/OSD/on-screen display while the FHD 1080p (AVI/Xvid) movie is being played, it (movie) will stutter every 5 seconds.

The reason I downscale to HD-Ready 720p since my source is FHD 1080p is because to play FHD 1080p it's quite processor intensive towards the RPi, causing video stuttering and I hate video stuttering while accessing OSD (to seek/fast forward/rewind/subtitles/audio video settings, etc).

This is a drawback because it's only RM111 of hardware. These are some acceptable trade-offs as expected. Furthermore, I don't notice the difference between FHD 1080p and HD-Ready 720p. When your RPi is running @ HD-Ready 720p @ 60Hz, everything is smooth as butter! brows.gif

Haha! I'm gonna build mine this week I think if I have time to go to Jln pasar..will post a pic of it when I'm done

I don't have any remote but you may check RPi verified peripherals here:
http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#USB_Remotes

As for XBMC skin, I'll definitely recommend xTV SAF. Light and makes me feel at home (ATV).
Yes, the source is FHD 1080p. I'm not sure how the descaling process works but all I did was choose:
Settings, System, Video, Output resolution @ 1280X720p @ 60Hz instead of default 1920X1080p @ 60Hz.
Hope I've helped mate. This is a resolution kick-down and not so much of a video file descale.
Sorry for the confusion mate! icon_rolleyes.gif
Okies okies, awesome mate! I hate driving to Jln. Pasar, the traffic jam is horrendous and parking is a bit*h to find.

Well,I always walk there from times square,haha! Train and walk,save the earth
