Hi,

i wonder if it's possible to create a Mediacenter / Mediaplayer with Cover-Support like the USB-Loaders got..
it would be really nice if i could use covers for my films and mp3 disks..

i know the mplayer and geexboxx but as far as i know they dont support covers.. :/

so.. is it possible to create somethin like that, or does it already exist?

thx

edit:

could someone pls move it to HB-Area?
;p sorry

XBMC or something like it would be nice. All my mp3s have the cover art in them. We need a coding hero to work on this. I wish I could code but I'm clueless at it.

Ide like to say yes this can be ported as it runs off essentially a linux kernel.

Just like geexbox

but way better.

the only question about xbmc linux is, is it working on power-based cpus like the one the wii uses and could somebody port the gpu acceleration to the hollywood.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display
