It's an AC router, but the files are all SD. Also, after playing with it
some more it's not exactly as I described. If I don't touch it, I get no
audio after the first few seconds. If I wait a while, then touch the screen
to bring up the controls, then the audio will come back for a couple
seconds. I did get it working using OPlayer through my Samba share (just
have to remember to run mythlink unless I cron it). For as infrequently as
I expect to use this, I think it will work okay.

I didn't hear any feedback about the Torc app. I know it's a little bit of
a touchy subject with the (remaining) devs after the fork, etc...
