Hi All, I was looking through the lists and I saw this post [1] on running elisa on lower end hardware.
I'm not sure if its planned or even been considered but I've just got myself a Saratech abigs DVP-570HD [2] and with a bit of poking I've discovered it runs Linux on a Sigma Designs EM8620L Series [3].
From a userbility point of view the interface is pretty horrific. Its
gui is pretty basic and essentially just gives lists of folders and files and a way to navigate through them with a remote control. That aside for what it does it works reasonably well. If it would run gstreamer/elisa i think this device would be sweet. I think to be able to get something like this, load up a prebuilt custom firmware (like the openwrt project for routers) would be a great application for elisa. The device has all the video connections you could want DVI, S-Video, Composite as well as digital and analog audio, LAN, USB2 (device and host) and a on-board HDD, a well kitted out remote control and interface on the front. There's a firmware listed for it here [4] and you can just unzip it and mount the abigs.bin file as a loopback device to see more about it.
