RE: Raspberry Pi in HA?

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to remember reading that although its plays H264 (1080p) OK,
there are some question marks over other codecs due to licencing issues so
they have to be decoded in software rather than using the GPU ? In other
words it may play your 1080p stuff but not your standard definition stuff.
I may have misunderstood but that was the impression I got.
