Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a good performing XBMC device for not to much money. I'd don't want to spend over 150€ to watch my movies...
My requirements (which maybe are a little above the price I'm ready to spend) are :
- Fluid (as much as possible) menu browsing
- Fluit (as much as possible) movie navigation (through jukebox, moviewall, etc.) (for a library with more than 1.000 movies)
- Stable (no crashes, freezes, etc)
- 720p HD videos
- HDMI AND RCA (or AV) (for support of older TV) video and audio outputs
- Linux based XBMC (Android version seems still not stable enough)
- Good WiFi
I've already had a look at some devices but as I didn't actually test them it's hard to make a good choice.
Raspberry Pi : cheap but raise up to ~80€ with a case, wires, wifi dongle, etc ... for a basic (I think) configuration
Hackberry and Gooseberry : Similar to Rasperry but with slightly better hardware configuration (Gooseberry misses RCA output, I think), but what about XBMC software running on it ?
Mele a1000(G) : Seems good but is 500Mb memory enough (1Gb for 'g' version which is more expensive) and how does XBMC run on it (with both Android and Linux Ubuntu)
OvalElephant's Smart TV box : Site seems really inaccessible these days (Don't know how serious that website is)
Do you know any other good but still cheap device ?
What about all of these ?
Which is best for my requirement ?
(Especially old TV output and fluid navigation knowing there's a huge movie library behind)
Thank you in advance !
