video and sounds works like a charm on my RPI
xbmc sucks a lot.use up too much resource.so i've flashed in OpenElec instead on my RPI.playing Fast Five at 720p & excellent sounds thru HDMI.
life's good

never faced any issue before.
thanks for the warning anyway.

even preorder ?
http://my.element14.com/jsp/search/product...ICID=ap-rpi-hwb

how about rs-components ?

that was before i guess
now i think it is slightly faster..
my preorder just took 5 days to reach my hand.some LYN user managed to get their RPI the next day after they ordered it.

xbmc on RPI FTW !!

it never let me down yet.
most of my movies are .mkv .mp4 .avi

what do u mean install user interface ?
xbmc itself is a GUI based
torrent ? yeah, you can download the plugins thru the addons manager.
i've never try to torrent with my RPI yet since i got my own seedbox running on FreeBSD.

which part is it that you dont understand ? hehe

you gotta try openelec
i've used raspbmc before but openelec is much much more faster

indeed it is
but the update interval for openelec is too fast/often
i.e ; yesterday installed v14,but today alrdy release v15..not pretty sure what are the things that have been updated.
no changelog provided.hmm

woot !
my case is here !

yeah saw it before.heheh

perfectto ! (i'm talking from XBMC point of view)
my RPi is connected to my Dlink DNS-313 and it works well on streaming a 720p & 1080p video.(but with some minor configurations in advancedsettings.xml & config.txt, it will automagically make u sit in front of ur TV 24/7 admiring the awesomeness of it)

My advice is, go get a decent NAS if you wanna stream videos via NAS.DNS-313 is a truly a crappy NAS.

never try that addon before
as of now,i just have the youtube plugin installed and it works pretty good.

i wonder why do u guys need a powered hub..
so far i've plugged in using this combinations without even using a hub..

keyboard + USB HDD
mouse + USB HDD
keyboard + mouse

or u guys uses keyboard + mouse + USB HDD + other things ?
my rpi is powered by a 1000mAH PSU actually..
