Yes - I had XBMC working fine, it could be however that I achieved this on sqPOS v1 which had hardware accelerated graphics drivers.ilovemyjoggler wrote:pete wrote:You could start with Buzz's base with nada on it if you want to play some (Ubuntu Base/Server 12.04 LTS (Precise) (Joggler Image v1.5 - 03/01/2014)
or
easier just to use Buzz's current Ubuntu builds and delete what you will not use on it as it already includes XBMC and Squeezeplay.
The icons are already there. You can also start up with either application if you want.

Here trying this one lately...Xubuntu 14.04 LTS

The build from a very light base would be a neato thing. Try both on two different sticks.
I am currently using two today dedicated for Squeezeplayer; one is really light with no GUI and remote controlled and the other has the Joggler GUI which too is remote controlled today via the "mothership".
Thanks Pete!
I know it looks like I asked a question then rudely disappeared but we've had phone and internet issues.
I do want to give this a try so the next thing is...
what is the one liner for the ubuntu base? Does it mean that the base will then have GUI for any added packages or do I need to add for each package?pete wrote:No but it is a one liner apt-get.Does the base have a GUI?
Apologies for hijacking this thread but I was intrigued by this as I didn't know squeezeplay os supports video. Jimeney have you actually accomplished this? If so, I cheekily ask if you would be willing to do a little guide? I'm interested in how you launch xbmc - do you get icon choices on boot?jimeney wrote:Installing XBMC on sqpOS is possible, and actually very simple. In my experience works fine on EMMC with plenty of space free. I guess the trick is choosing the right base image, and SqueezePlay OS is perfect.
Exploring all options at the moment.
Thanks!
I have however had PLEX working on sqPOS v2 which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 - for SD content, it performs well.
What would be the real icing on the cake for me would be sqPOS v3 based on Ubuntu 14.04 - if only to have a real slim base image to work from.
