Hallo allen! Lurk al tijden en post zelden, maar heb net zelf dit project gebackt op Kickstarter, zag hier nog geen specifieke thread en ik gok dat er meerdere Tweakers geinteresseerd zullen zijn
Slice: The user friendly media player with internal storage and a Raspberry Pi heart. Load it with anything, use it anywhere. - Kickstarter link
Kort door de bocht omschrijving:
Slice is een mediaplayer met als 'brain' de nieuwe Raspberry Pi Compute Module. Deze module is geprikt in een custom-ontworpen board. De boel draait op (een variant van) OpenELEC in combinatie met (een aangepaste) XBMC.
Update 1 september:
Men heeft de 150k stretchgoal bereikt, met als gevolg dat de Slice 25% kleiner is geworden en ook nog eens een extra usbpoort erbij heeft gekregen


Wat reclamepraat:
Enkele interessante USPsSlice is an innovative new media player.
- Connects to your TV via HDMI and will store and play back all of your videos, music and pictures in full HD.
- Has a carefully designed user interface and custom remote control that makes it effortless and fun to use.
- Has an anodised case machined from solid aluminium.
- Features a unique, customisable LED light ring for visual feedback and wow factor!
- Has on-board storage – simply drag and drop your media onto Slice’s hard disk using a single USB connection from any Mac or Windows PC.
- Small and portable – take your media with you to enjoy with friends, family or on trips away.
- Can access media over a network, and has 2 USB ports for connecting extra devices, such as external hard drives.
- Built on open technologies and can be reprogrammed to run alternative open source software.
..- Plays HD video files of just about any format
- Supports 3D video files
- Displays photos in full HD
- Plays all your music files (compressed and uncompressed)
- Drag and drop files directly onto Slice by plugging it into your home PC with a single USB cable – it looks just like a USB hard disk!
- Can read media files from its on board hard disk or over a network
- Comes with a custom remote control that uses radio technology, meaning it works from anywhere in a room, no need to point it at the box all the time!
- Can act as an Airplay receiver. Display video and play music wirelessly from your iOS device.
- Can be controlled via iOS and Android devices using the free 'XBMC Remote' app.
- Supports CEC
- Supports third party IR remote controls
- Has a unique LED lighting ring which is synchronised to media player actions (FFW, REW etc.) also user customisable / programmable.
- 2 USB ports for connecting extra devices or media (such as a USB stick, external hard drive or WiFi Dongle).
- Supports high resolution audio output (stereo analogue up to 192kHz/24 bit or optical for 5.1 passthrough).
- Low power (uses under 15W of power during use, less than 1W during standby).
- Open and hackable!
Specificaties
- We have also designed a remote control that works in harmony with the new Slice interface but also works very well with standard XBMC too. We will ship our remote with every version of Slice giving you total control of the system.
- Slice is built on open technologies. The new drivers developed for Slice will be released to the community. Leveraging Open Source software has allowed us to produce Slice and therefore we want to give something back.
- Based on the newly released Raspberry Pi Compute Module, Slice can also run many of the other operating systems that also work on the Raspberry Pi. So if you don’t like the supplied software you can load your own and do whatever you like!
