Has anyone tried any interlaced (SD or HD) content? How well was it handled?

Re: OpenELEC meets Raspberry Pi - part 1 (XBMC)

<t>funnel - are you decoding the DTS on the Pi or sending it to receiver? I'm not sure based on your post. If you are decoding it the Pi will struggle.

Re: Oracle support for Raspberry PI

<t>I wasn't necessarily talking about the Pi, and sometimes compile once, deploy to many diff architectures is important. Its important in my job for example.<br/> <br/> And you'll find that type safe languages are a necessity in many MOD projects which is one reason why Ada is still used.<br/> <br/...

Re: OpenELEC meets Raspberry Pi - part 1 (XBMC)

In fact, decoding DTS to 5.1 speakers seems to work for some films (plays through tv). So it"s only stuttering when decoding DTS to stereo.
Hopefully that info will help some devs at some point

Will come back to the blockiness as I"m done in for tonight.

Not having much luck here. Used dd to put 10870 (page 23) on my card, figured I try it before trying to solve my stuttering prob.
Took 2 hours to copy on. So far been waiting 20mins for first boot.
