“When my new pi arrived I immediately installed the latest version of kodi/openelec. Openelec boots much quicker than on the old model B.The kodi user interface is not much faster but is now smooth and supple. I had already noticed that kodi 14.1 seems to decode MPEG2 in software , but this is just too much work for the older PI/512, and the audio and video rapidly become out of sync. The PI2, however, handles the extra load with ease; and without any overclocking! This evening someone was using the PI 2 to watch a 1080p film and at the same time I was using it to stream music to my tablet in another room, both without any issues.
I also bought the flirc aluminium case thinking it would act as a good heatsink when I overclock the pi, but the quad core and 1GB memory delivers so much power, I don't think I'll bother!”
“Got the Pi 2B delivered in a fast pace. No problems what-so-ever.
Price-tag was ok, I didn't by a NOOBs sd-card, but easy to create. I opted for NOOBs Lite and does run Raspbian and OpenElec in a multiboot setup.
Pi2B is (as expected) much faster than the first series.
Using a 32G class6 sd card I've got plenty of filesystem space.”
