Raspberry Pi

[WAD62]

It's a shame that Raspbmc only has flaky alpha support for USB dacs (even that seems to have been removed in Release Candidate 5) - that's all that's stopping me using my Pi to replace my old HP tower that serves as my music streamer.

...just a matter of time I think Keith, we're still in the early stages with the Pi

Hmm I never realised it could run XMBC but does it do remote too?

The short answer is yes...

...but you'd need an infra red dongle to use a proper remote, although if you configure it as a webserver you can use the XBMC android app!

However it appears to be a little bit flakey, more than three successive left keys send the menu bar into a rotational frenzy...shame

But as I said earlier it's early days...and it works fine via the keyboard
