"Apparently the popcornhour playback devices are shortly to get he-aac
sound support, at which time they should be great for playback from a
myth box via uPnP.

How does this work? Surely the Popcorn Hour can't work like a full Myth frontend (access the guide, set recording, play/delete recordings etc, use the mythcommflag data)? Can it just access the shared files like any other videos?

It would be awesome to have a consumer electronics device working as basically a mythfrontend (would have to have the same interface, just be able to do all the things a computer running mythfrontend could). An X86 CPU is a hugely in-efficient way to playback H.264, and as noted on this thread there are plenty of issues involved. The flexibility and features of a mythbackend combined with the reliability, ease of use (and the fact it works properly!) of a CE device.

It would have me sold anyway.
