GeeXboX 1.2.2 LiveCD media player adds multi-core video decoding, now 1080p is possible

by Richard Lawler Jun 29th 2009 @ 3:48AM


Just a few months removed from its 1.2 update, the latest version of the GeeXBoX LiveCD has added multi threaded video decoding for MPEG-1/2/4 and h.264, which should finally let all users decode even 1080p video on dual- and quad-core systems running Linux. Otherwise there's some additional DVD CSS tweaks, updated MPlayer and codec support, so why not burn a copy and take a tour? Load it RAM, pop out the CD and run whatever discs and hard drive stored media your heart desires.

GeeXboX 1.2 LiveCD media center OS adds HDTV, widescreen tweaks

by Richard Lawler Feb 3rd 2009 @ 12:21PM


A lightweight option in the media center OS race, GeeXboX gives a full media PC solution in your pocket by virtue of its Linux LiveCD foundation. Boot it up anywhere and access media on your hard drive, discs or on the Internet without reconfiguring your entire system. The 1.2 release throws in 64 bit support for x86 processors, HDTV and widescreen optimizations, plus a Win32 installer to load it to the HDD if you so desire. Pictured above is a peek at the upcoming 2.x interface, but in the meantime head over and give version 1.2 a try right now.
