Thanks.
Those are neat little devices but when you go with something that cheap you are going to have all sorts of issues if you start getting into a bunch of different codecs and audio formats. Personally I would rather spend the extra money on a decent cheap pc and run something like an atI 5450 in it.
That's what I run on one if my htpcs with just an i3 processor and it plays every file I throw at it and runs mediabrowser perfectly smoothly.
