I've been using an older image on a b+ happily. I have it connected to my home theater via hdmi and the audio quality is good enough for my ears. I would like to turn the tv on and see what's playing - I think this was a request from early on, and since it's hdmi out into my receiver, the

It's good new I guess, but I'm a bit worried about the increasing number of models. Keeping them all supported with Sofware and Hardware add-on modules, also with cases does not get easier this way. Also, for something as simple as PiCorePlayer, even the Rpi B is actually overpowered. As long as

Hopefully the Ethernet port is better separated from the USB bus. But what's with the sudden release after the B+? Makes me want to upgrade even if there is no real need too ... snoogly's Profile:

Hopefully about now, (well, today anyway), Greg and Steen will realise why I was sending them cryptic emails a fortnight ago, suggesting that if they aren't already looking at device tree and the 3.18 kernel branch, they need to be supporting this, without being able to say why.. ;)
