JRIVER MEDIA CENTER RASPBERRY PI PLUS
I will have a special podcast from the event later this week plus lots of videos coming soon. It was also great to see Blackpool’s Tower Linux User Group and the other enthusiast that traveled from around the UK.Īs I said yesterday I am so grateful to everybody that attended yesterday and to Rose Leisure for the use of the venue, we had a great day but my highlight has to be young Matthew winning a Raspberry Pi. One of the best things about events like that is meeting up with like minded enthusiast and there was lots of discussion going on around the room with topics like Windows Media Center, XBMC, Linux and Android.
I brought my Sinclair QL along to show people what a real computer looks like (for some reason not everybody agreed!) plus I had my Apple Newton along side my Raspberry Pi. The Centre also setup a LAN for multi-player death matches of Doom and Quake which got very competitive! Pong was a big draw as was the ZX Spectrum, ZX 81, Atari 2600 and retro consoles. There was a selection of vintage plotters on show setup playing hangman, many people especially the younger ones had never seen a plotter before never mind the punch tape printer.įrom The Centre for Computing History there was a brilliant range of classic computers and games consoles. JRiver Media Center is a multimedia application that allows the user to play and organize various types of media on a computer.
JRIVER MEDIA CENTER RASPBERRY PI PC
We also had tablets, the Google Nexus 7 alongside a new iPad and even my old tablet PC running Windows 8Īs well as the new technology there was a great selection of vintage kit and not just computers. Simon Walters had a great setup of a Raspberry Pi running Scratch controlling LED traffic lights as part of a setup that will be used to introduce kids into programming. Jason Barnett had a great setup, a Raspberry Pi built into a Cyberbot driving it around the room remotely via a web browser and if you wanted a case for your Pi John Alexander had some of his laser cut Pi cases on display and a fantastic LED rocket controlled by an Arduino. Garry was showing off multi-zone music playback from a single PC to some great sounding Orbit Sound Bars.
On the new technology front we have demonstrations of XMBC running on the Raspberry Pi with Daniel Vieira showing off streaming live TV on the Pi and even DLNA music streaming from Garry’s JRiver Media Center demonstration. What a fantastic day at the User Group yesterday, the event held at The Rose Centre was packed with technology old and new and was attend by some young and some not so young!
