Topic: Has anyone used a raspberry pi as a home theater PC?

+Anonymous A13.1 years ago #25,087

I've found a setup that seems to include pretty much everything I need. As far as I can tell, all I need to do is get it working with my wifi.
I'm also considering a Cubox or Ouya.

you need to consider that the raspi on the one hand has a powerful gpu and can play even 1080p youtube but the GUI is extremely unresponsive and slow to a point its a pain in the ass to use due to the single core RISC cpu. I recommend not using it as a home theater pc. get a laptop instead.
