</span>Nope, still applies. Please get back to us with your<br>
review of whether it actually works in practice, rather<br>
than pontificating about how "someone else" should<br>
look into it, and in theory it might work well.<br>

And, since it will be necessary for the review, please<br>
provide the test harness you will be using so that<br>
all future platforms can use the same eval. That<br>
will allow everyone else to compare platforms.<br>

But if it's a standard x86 Atom with VAAPI support, and that's something that has been used with MythTV on more traditional form-factor PCs, I'm willing to sacrifice a few dollars in the name of testing. Are we at least in agreement that that particular SOC combination (Atom Z3735F/G) with 2GB of RAM and a 16GB SD card is a supported platform for a Linux FE to play back 1080p video?<br><br></div><div>Thanks,<br>Matt<br></div></div></div></div>
