The only part I see as good for the Pi is I don't see many overheating
reviews. But I hear so many comments about chipset issues it makes me
nervous. I'm really just interested in some low power streaming device
that can either play videos I've converted myself or host a dlna server for
my devices that can then do the playing themselves but I'm not sure what
out there is powerful enough.
I think its fine for that. I run XBMC on mine and and
can remote control
it from my Android phone. Main issue is only HDMI out so no use for old
style TVs.
The newer PIs have many of the power issues cured.
Now adays I KNOW a computer can handle it but I'd still like a lower power
device near the TV as a preferred method than a server just for videos. I
thought the Pi might do the trick. One of these google devices might too
but I can't afford to keep tinkering around with failed promises.
