Met het krachtiger en functioneler worden van die boardjes komen gelukkig weer meer tegenovergestelde ontwikkelingen op gang. Een leuke voorzet voor een alles-in-éen-mediaspeler kwam ik tegen op het squeezeboxforum:

Hi,
I recently tested different setups with touch displays to get Squeezebox Touch feeling together with an easy setup. An additional important feature is the Kodi (XBMC) mediacenter to play video in addition to having a perfect multiroom audio setup. Everything is set up with the latest Max2Play version that can easily install and configure:First setup: Raspberry PI with touch display
- touch display (3,2" with 320x240 px) with calibration
- visualisation of squeezebox features (latest jivelite with skin addon for 320x240 display)
- optional Squeezebox Server with Shairtunes2 addon for Airplay
- Squeezelite as software player
- Kodi as video player
- lots of other applications, installable by web interface (Accesspoint, Samba Shares, WiFi, etc.)
This one is the easy, good value for money setup, that has just one downside when using the headphone jack for audio, as it has not the best build-in DAC. The case looks quite nice and we already have a prebuild SD-Card-Image that just needs to be plugged in your Raspberry PI 2. If you are interested in a bundle that also offers powersupply and SD-card with Image you should have a look at our shop: http://shop.max2play.com/en/raspberr...e-display.html
Second Setup: new ODROID C1+ with HiFi-Shield and touch display (not having a case yet)
This one has a little more power compared to the Raspberry PI, as the C1+ offers USB 3.0 and the EMMC-Cards are a lot faster compared to the class 10 SD-Cards in the Raspberry. This is mostly recognizable when you are running the Squeezebox Server on this device.
The HiFi-Shield (high quality audio with 192Khz) and the touch display work very well together and really offer the best Squeezebox Touch experience.
The downside is the price - compared to the Raspberry PI this setup already has a external DAC that is not too cheap (same price as C1+ board) and it also needs a case with an increased height due to that DAC.
To use Kodi and watch videos on your TV, you need to start it via Web interface. Right now it is not possible to start kodi with the touch display, but this might be an option for the future.
We do not offer the C1+ bundle yet in our shop, as we are still looking for a well suited case and maybe build one if there is a high resonance on this one. If you are interested in the Prebuild EMMC-Card Image please let me know and I will put it on our download page.
What do you think about this 2 options and what features do you prefer? Please tell me your ideas!
Cheers,
Stefan
