XBMC (pi) help please.

[TK4|2|1]

Yes Im on USB and overclocked to
CPU to 900mhz.
Core to 400
All other settings default.
It has improved a lot 90% ok but still annoying to watch HD.

What settings worked for you streaming HD ?
Do you have a cooler on the processor to overclock ?

No, no cooler. I use 1 of the preset clocks, fast I think it is.

I've got the cooler and the power switch mod with more powerful plug, but I havnt had time to solder the switch together or mount the heat sinks been really busy at work and sorting my wedding out :-( I've also got a fast USB 3 stick to install onto, but I still doubt at the end of all this if it will be fast enough for full HD. Will probably all end up on eBay whilst I build a custom pc to run Xbmc....

After I built my system, I came across some good sites with some very good tips: xbmc.com & xbmc.org

All,

Just wondering. Have PI with RASPBMC and works a treat. Live TV on HD though is crap. SD is great.
Wonder is this something to do with the transcoding issues that are plaguing VU Boxes. (have DUO2).

 

[DaMacFunkin]

The stream shouldn't be transcoded it should be sent unencrypted transport stream, the problem as I have stated is I don't think the pi has enough oomph to do it smoothly
