Update: i haver never contributed before, and i am unsure who to share my understanding.

i think the information on the website about should include this information. I’ve been using a raspberry pi, and playing with n00bs and others for a month. None of them advertise these features and they were the features i was looking for.

- Quickly auto-mounts less-supported file systems like HFS (apple’s format) and exfat (like fat32 allowing 4gb+ files from USB memory sticks). (developers: is there a GUI way to unmount drives safely?)
- Inbuilt support for uPNP/DLNA. When selected Xbian will act a a media server for any attached USB drive. Also, you can send files for other media servers on the network to xbian to be played/streamed.
- When connected to ethernet Xbian can support streaming of 1080p files upto 10gb without stuttering.
- the Xbian options allowing detailed overclocking for your pi.
- Supports more audio and movie codecs. including flac audio that is used in some .mkv files. PS3 does not play .flac audio.
- all these things suggest bleeding edge support.

suggestion: can dual audio be selected by default for people using a headset with the pi connected to a speakerless monitor. save option diving, and might be useful to some.
