I have a Pi3b I've yet to try. I bought it in March and then other<br>
things happened and I haven't gotten back to it.<br>
<br>
I'm sure Peter Bennett will chime in. He's the primary maintainer for<br>
the Pi. Actually, he's the primary maintainer for almost everything<br>
right now. :)<br>
<br>
Anyway, according to Peter, the Pi3 works pretty well and even has<br>
good to very good deinterlacing. The main thing it doesn't have is<br>
the ability to timestretch. If you need that, you'll need to look<br>
elsewhere. Also, Peter hasn't said anything about it, but the limited<br>
RAM might be a problem with elaborate themes. If that's the case,<br>
just use a simpler theme.<br>
