Re: [PLUG] Open Streaming Media Box

[Amir Tahvildaran <amir@mathforum.org>]

I just set up a Raspberry PI at home using an XBMC distro.  This streams files over NFS of SFTP and a bunch of other protocols.  Works best with h264 encodings but it can slog through other formats.  And it's only $30.

I'd be interested in your final setup, I have a similar (but very low priority) issue at work.

Does anyone know if there are any Linux powered set-top boxes similar to Roku or Apple TV that let you stream media to a TV? I'm looking for something that is open enough that I can configure it to open a pre-configured stream on startup and start dumping it out the A/V ports.

The idea is to create a streaming appliance to send out to our school districts so they can play our live streams into their district wide closed circuit TV systems.
