The narrator explains that the displayed framerate is incorrect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NR57ELY28s&feature=player_embedded#t=109s1080p going at 9fps .
ok cool, i have no sound at work
holy balls, If these end up being able to run a few hd codecs well at 1080p, im in for 3
The soc has hardware mpeg2/4 as well as several others.Apparently the chip has hardware h264, but anything else would be software, and much slower. 1080p h264 was a design goal I gather.
If they can get hardware mpeg2 then it should be possible to get several of the usb tv tuners to work which should be interesting.
No hardware mpeg2 at least at first.If they can get hardware mpeg2 then it should be possible to get several of the usb tv tuners to work which should be interesting.
It goes down when it gets posted to /.Does anyone have an idea when they will be available for sale? It looks like the site is down right now.
The most recent information i've seen is eben's video interview for slashdot. IIRC he said a couple of weeks to get the boards back from china and then a few days of testing before putting them on sale. That interview was posted on january 17th.Does anyone have an idea when they will be available for sale?
Seems to be up at the moment but they are certainly struggling with traffic levels. IIRC they are planning a move to a new server before actually releasing the boards.It looks like the site is down right now.
I wonder... is it possible to turn the Raspberry Pi into a portable media player?
I like to listen to music encoded in FLAC and was thinking of doing a little project of making my own PMP with MKV video support.
Not practical. It runs off a 5v power supply and is not optimized for battery power. Interfacing a composite display may be easier than a HDMI display, but the results will be somewhat low quality and low resolution. If you did manage to cobble together 4 NiMH batteries, the RPi and a display, would you want to haul around such a device if it has a somewhat short battery life?I wonder... is it possible to turn the Raspberry Pi into a portable media player?

It's possible to make a PMP using the RPi. The cost, effort and results don't seem to have any advantages over even low- to mid-cost alternatives (iPod Touch 4th gen, generic PMPs), except maybe that you can plug HDMI into the RPi... which you could do with minimal fuss on the $25/$35 versions. IOW, use each for its strengths.

The touchscreens I have, both 15inch Elo, only have VGA inputs and use COM for the touch interface. Will I not be able to use the raspberry pi. I was really looking forward to getting one of these but I need more info on pinouts and how I can interface with it. Anyone know where I can find a guide to hacking this thing up.
