Marc,

I'm kind of curious to know what you do with the beaglebone Paul.. could

Needed ethernet and some GPIO, the beaglebone does that, and it's been
around a while so it's got a good lot of support.

No seriously, don't get me started on that.
I've got one, what a peice of shite....

I scanned my movies, some 4000 odd, it found covers for about 2500, about
100 of which are wrong.
It doesn't "cope" with TV series at all well.
The music player is TERRIBLE, what if I want to play by genre? or create a
play list?

And reliability, it crashes, like four times a week, just locks up stops
and only out is to power off (5 seconds on power button).

Maybe I'm unlucky, but it's not been a good experience for me.

Paul
