2004-11-27 Review: GeeXboX - Linux Media Center
http://www.tuxme.com/node/173
Citat: "...
I came across GeeXboX last week and was intrigued. We've all heard of
Windows Media Center, the OS based purely on playing movies, music, and
watching TV. While there have been tutorials on how to create something
just like that using Linux, GeeXboX makes all of that extremely easy.
Well most of it anyway.

'GeeXboX is an operating system but you still need something to boot on
You're lucky, GeeXboX is based on MPlayer, which can be considered
as one of the less cpu-dependent movie players, thanks to the use of
FFMpeg for decoding movies.

So, here's what can be considered as a typical / minimal config:

*Macintosh* G3 (G4 highly recommended)

Jeg kan ikke helt genenmskue om du søger informationer eller ønsker at
videregive informationer.

Frontenden kører fint på Mac OS X PPC, samt Linux PPC.

Backenden lader såvidt jeg er orienteret kun kompilere på x86.
Jeg Har forsøgt at bygge den fra debian source på UltraSPARC. Her
opgiver den og henviser til manglende SSE eller MMX instruktionssæt.
Jeg kunne snildt forstille mig, at den også vil brokke sig over dette
når man forsøgte sig på PPC.

Med backenden mener du så software der skal hente video fra tv-kortet?
