I saw a video on Youtube of somebody that did it on a A-110, but by USB...no instructions. Check it out:

it was fake and they disappeared after posting it.

Damn it.......

I'm downloading new stuff everyday, erasing stuff every day...the scanner for the jukebox that is included with the Popcorn hour is pretty slow...graphics sucks....any suggestions on which YAMJ to use?....that is easy and fast to update every time...thanks.

just pick out one that looks like it might interest you and try it.. if that doesn't work, try the next one..

yeah, but is the update the same speed for all?

no clue what you are trying to ask.

It is amazing to see it... but i suspect it require lot of CPU power..

But i notice that some people ported the application to Apple TV1 and TV2... (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Apple_TV_1/FAQ)

On a PC, it require to have a P4 (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu_FAQ)

So if it's work on the AppleTV1 ... i suspect it can be adapted to the Popcorn HOUR... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bJlQAqcOIs

Not even close in that assumption lol, The pch runs a sigma chip that is MIPS based There is a 700MHz cpu that does general processing and it is by no means are robust as say your intel x86 chip.

The first appletv ran off an 1ghz Pentium M while the appletv2 ran off the Apple A4 same chip as an an ipad So it has more processing power, The down side is none of them supported 1080p nor HD audio or any of that.

the big difference is the lack of opengl in most sigma chips.. it's required to draw the screen with xbmc.

[buzzbuzz]

Yup, the Sigma 8910 is supposed to support this (OpenGL), and Sigma demoed XBMC on this chip. But after that not much was heard anymore from that chip
Still unclear whether it's canceled or still to be delivered. It's still on their site but I'm not holding my breath.
But for now no XBMC on the PCH's.

[accident]

There are sigma chips with opengl already, but pch doesn't use them. If your looking for hardware players with xbmc, I would start looking around elsewhere. There's lots of discussions about this on the xbmc forum.

Any news about this ?
Would love to get XMBC on my Popcorn C-200 !
BTW, does it work on the latest A-400 or C-300 ?
