That's the funniest thing I've read in a while. Just take a look at the firmware threads for the A100-A110.

So there are some bugs or were other features that did not work right away.

But basically the A100 when it was first available, blew the doors off anything else that was available, even with the warts. The current 200 series is still the best thing going.

The major reason i'll never go back to an htpc and xbmc is the lack of full remote control functions.

[RXP]

The Windows version of XBMC takes too much fiddling around, the remote doesn't work straight away, I'm pretty sure 23.976 is a problem in windows too, XBMC only outputs to 24hz and hardware acceleration doesn't work in windows without using Alpha versions. The next version will support ION on Windows so I'll consider it then, but right now I can't.

I wish you didn't have to fiddle around with getting all the remote buttons working in windows too.

I've owned the A100 since it was first out and it has bugs but the updated firmwares fixed it. The A100 is so stable now I have 0 problems with it at all. XBMC I have plenty of problems with but I put up with it. However, for my parents I've kept them on an A100 as it's just much more stable and easier to use.

That is until you have files with DTS sound wich drops out or want to play two 2 mkv's 1080p after each other without rebooting
(these are to most anoying bugs I think, there are plenty more. These are also the reason I'm thinking of replacing the A-110 by a HTPC with XBMC)

[RXP]

My DTS Audio works perfectly, no drop outs at all on both my amps. And I can play 2 1080p MKV's fine. Are you using the latest firmware?

BTW found this program that makes the MCE remote work perfectly with XBMC in Windows with 0 setup!

[TL@]

I'm not alone and I'm using the latest firmware:

1080p playback problem
DTS drop outs

[civilian]

ugh... EJP said that there would not be any more regular updates, but the last xbmc-nmt news was one month ago... Come on

The mediaplayer 'scene' (talking about the brands, not homebrew dev) is so disappointing and slow, that would really stir up things.

Does your A-100 actually rewind? not the directional arrows, but the actual rewind button?

Mine doesn't and I can't remember the last time it did.

what doesn't it do? my <$10 USB remote worked right out of the box with XBMC on a revo.

I have yet to need to reboot my revo with XBMC. I reboot my A100 more now on the current firmware than I had to before I updated (finally updated a week ago or so). I'd say once each week or every other week i get to the point where nothing plays, and rebooting fixes it.

Hard life having to reboot once a week

This is now nothing to do with the thread topic and to be frank even the thread topic has now been done to death. Thread locked, although obviously when NMT-XBMC arrives it can be opened again
