seconded for r-pi as great boxes - also look at the google tv usb sticks - I have 2 and they also both do 1080p decode just fine. one is a mk802 the other an mk808.

Thanks for the info.

Has anyone tried to modify the XBMC renderer conf file to force transcoding of "DivX3.11alpha" or "DivX " which the RPi does not support?

I couldn't find anyway to distinguish between this and any official/standard DivX which is supported.

I can get the RPi to play the files by manually navigating through the #TRANSCODE# folder but I was hoping for something a little more automated for the less tech savvy household members.

Thanks,
Jordan.

Try going into C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\renderers add into the file XBMC at "TranscodeExtensions" put the value "divx" into it. Hopefully it should transcode automatically without you needing to do it for every file.
Also if your not on Windows 7 64bit it should be in "Program Files"

This only appears to operate on actual filename extensions.

If, for example, the file is .avi but FourCC is DIV3, DivX v3 or DivX3.11, etc it will not be transcoded and will fail to play.

Is there anyway to use an argument like "supported!=Div3" or "unsupported=Div3"

Jordan.
