Bro have you compared or used other media players, would be interested to know how the performance compare to other devices? Does RPi support HD Audio (DTS-HDMA, DD HD etc) also how is the performance while playback of Bluray ISO or BDMV folder over LAN?
This is the only device i have never tested or used and would be happy to buy if it supports the above.

Rpi out-of-the-box output audio jack is only good for headphone sound quality. If you want audiophile sound you need to get sound card add-on board like HiFiBerry, IQAudio or Wolfson. But all 3 brands give you only 2 channel. I have not come across brands with more channels. Me planning to buy HiFiBerry....PM me for bulk purchase.

Gonna get the raspberry after I return from training. Anyone got playing issues with Genesis this past week? Been having slow and intermittent streaming.

Apart from Genesis and ol mashup. Any other recommendations for movie n series channels?

got my rPi2 today that will be replacing my rPi... worth every cent for XBMC...

How much?

rPi2 - RM127.40
rPi2 case - RM26.45

great to have a thread like this.

i hv only had xbmc for a couple of months - on android and pc.

as a new user, one thing i find frustrating about xbmc is unless you have prior knowledge, you do not know which addon is in which zip file or repo! i had reinstalled xbmc on a couple of ocassions and struggled to find what is where. of course, now i know better...

yes, xbmchub and mashup are best, covers most addons.
and yes too, 1 channel, icefilms and mashup are the best there is.
i also use istream and iwo (i watch online) which are found in xunity's "the one" repo.
within mashup, my fav is i-live for live tv stations (not on by default, need to click it on within mashup settings).

for links, i find movreel most reliable.

about chinese addons (now, i can't remember if they are found in superrepo??), i had tried some of them like pps, kankan, youku - all seem pretty useless, dun work. azdrama works but selection is very limited. is this the same experience for others?

for chinese stuff, i stay away from xbmc, rely on the android's native app which is quite good.

i was so frustrated and give up. actually where i can refer or read to enjoy xmbc? currently i install kodi tv in my mipad. but dunno how to add channel. cant find mashup or whatever u hguys recommended

Hi. There is one thing i always don't understand about KODI/XBMC.

Sometimes the movies says has "Local Subtitles is Available" when i try to download subtitles from the various provider. However, i never see the local subtitles by default and i don't know how to activate/select the local subtitle instead of downloading external subtitles.

How do i do that?

Thanks.

1) It could be subtitles that's only displayed when there's foreign language in the movie

2) You can enable subs in the audio option (Menu-> Audio during playback). Better yet you can assign keys to toggle/enable subs on your keyboard/remote instead of going thru the menus.

Oh, i didn't know can do that. How to assign the keys? I will check the Menu->Audio option during playback.

I just realized my PVR client already gone. no more live TV
