After first use
Hello,

i got rasberryPi today, booted SD card with Xbian so i went ahead and tried it.
Some things are great (it actually plays 720p video and manages to decode audio to analog output), some are not, so here are my suggestions, some may be general xbmc or raspberryPi:
- make support usb soundcards or fix analog output - i have 2x20w amp (no volume control, just amp) and clicks are just terrible, also there is a LOT of hum on the background. Maybe the humming is because my Rpi is deffective?
- it is nice to have RC6 remote support by default, but it is just missing finishing touch - add mapping for [info] button to context menu, or some other unused button
- i did not found any way to stop/pause library scan (maybe because of not working context menu)
- there is only one way to make automatic library scans and it is after boot, but it does not make much sense to turn off rPi, is there some way to scan for new media by checking changes on filesystem or periodically? ... When no media is playing.
- when i play media library scan should stop - xbian is not capable of doing both at same time
- maybe there is some way to use client-server library setup like plex does, but i did not foud it
- xbian menu in settings is terribly slow, tough it does not much meter since you don't probably use it often
- it seamed to me that after reset some settings were lost (audio analog output instead of hdmi, when i opened "videos" it showed me first time wlcome again)

i think these can greatly improve experience for most user.


Is there some xbmc for rPi distribution that have usable analog audio output?
