</div>How are you accessing Myth with openelec? uPNP, plugin, etc?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>After messing around with the raspberry pi for a few weeks, my recommendation is not to use it for a mythtv frontend via xbmc pvr mythtv client plugin or any UPNP client. It just isn't stable enough. The CPU is barely powerful enough to run xbmc's UI menus, mine is overclocked and xbian will overclock by default in their distro. if you are unlucky enough to have the lower memory model, chances are you will run out of memory when enabling some of xbmc's plugins like the xbmc pvr mythtv client. While watching a stream, the raspberry pi also doesn't respond quickly to pause/ffwrd/stop/etc. Expect lots of stuttering in the stream, audio sync issues. Also, i have the codec license for mpeg2, stream will still stutter. Maybe in a few months, I'll try it again.</div>
