I use it with Kodi and Mythtv. The one thing I learned the hard way, make sure to allocate enough memory to graphics. It's adjustable on the Pi. That was my biggest problem that took me quite a while to figure out. Also I would suggest getting a Flirc or something for remote control... don't use CEC/Anynet/whatever-the-vendor-names-it control over HDMI. I had nothing but problems with it. <br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_quote"><div>On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 11:59 AM, Jeremy D Eiden <span dir="ltr"><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:theonlyrealperson@gmail.com">theonlyrealperson@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px rgb(204, 204, 204) solid; padding-left: 1ex" class="x_-954704539gmail_quote"><div><div><div class="x_-954704539h5"><p><br></p><div><br></div><div class="x_-954704539m_2855790008118043694moz-cite-prefix">On 07/26/2018 10:46 AM, George Poulson wrote:<br></div><blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div class="x_-954704539gmail_extra"><div class="x_-954704539gmail_quote"><div>On 26 July 2018 at 16:07, Ashu Desai <span dir="ltr"><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:ashu.desai@gmail.com">ashu.desai@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px rgb(204, 204, 204) solid; padding-left: 1ex" class="x_-954704539gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="x_-954704539gmail_quote"><div>Is there something that folks here have - i am open to buying bare metal and building one up myself...<br></div><span><div><br></div></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small">If you're open to it as a solution the Raspberry Pi 3 makes a pretty darn good (and very cheap!) frontend.<br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small"><br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small">You'll find various articles both on the mythtv wiki and elsewhere.<br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small"><br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small">George<br></div><div class="x_-954704539gmail_default" style="font-size: small"><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div></blockquote></div></div><div>I second this.

playing around with forcing the output resolution and frequency via
config.txt. After giving the gpu enough memory, this made the biggest
step towards smooth playback for me. If left to decide for itself, my TV
would set itself to 60Hz, and i would have tearing/flickering. Not
much, but enough to be noticed. using:<br></div><div><br></div><div>hdmi_group=1<br></div><div>hdmi_mode=20<br></div><div><br></div><div>...in config.txt sets the pi to output 50Hz, and i have perfect playback on my Pi2.<br></div></div><br></body></html>
