QBee-X TMC, the multimedial cubieboard distro

QBee-X_TMC, aka Total Media Commander, is finally on.

The system base is always QBee-X, but the new features make it very powerfull for local and remote streaming.

In depth, look at what is new.

First of all, the default enviroment is set to lxde instead gnome (to switch back to gnome, or xfce, simply log out, change the DE, and login again)

desk

Remote desktop is enabled by default, if you wanna disable it, just remove the check in “preference -> session settings”.

You can always start it manually with the “remote-desktop” script in Tools folder.

Now give a look at the icons on the desktop, wich surely wake up your interest 😛

Xbmc: yesss, it is!!! even if with some bugs (listed below) i can say it works with full-hd videos.

I know, these screenshot are not showing much, but you can have an idea about the near 60fps with a 1080 video.

Over Xbmc, you will have saw the presence of another pgram, Madsonic.

Madsonic is a media server wich allows you to stream audio and video files in your lan, and over the internet.

It has a web gui wich run, as default, on port 4040, so to reach it you must enter in your browser the cubie ip address followed by :4040 (ex: http://192.168.0.100:4040, or http://qbee-x:4040); user and password are the defaults, admin for both. When you’r in, you can add media folders to share with your pc, tablet, and mobile.

Madsonic has another interesting feature, a dlna server wich you can enable or disable with a simple click.

For more infos about this project, i suggest you to visit madsonic home page at: http://www.madsonic.org/

Over these news, is still present Mediatomb, for a fast sharing of your files with the upnp devices of your lan.

For last, but for this not less important, and due to the armhf repos wich are not upgraded, i recompiled and added all the transcode pack with ffmpeg, lame, h264, smplayer and smtube, all to the last aviable version, to make QBee-X run at its maximum power.

And now, take a look at the troubles i found until now:

– QBee-X_TMC: for the moment working only for cubieboard1 – A10, to be sure it run well before porting on other devices (just to make works only 1 time)

– Xbmc: unluckly it crash when opening mo3, but works with wav files. No crash log is generated, so i cannot found the problem 🙁

– Madsonic: due to all it’s content and features, sometimes it is a bit slow on cb, overall by the dlna server side, and at the moment i have some troubles with thehtml5 transcode. My suggestion is to don’t use it to watch movies on cubie, coz the cpu usage is very high, and wait a bit before start theme from remote pc, to make the cache fill and have a fluid reproduction.

As always, the releases are 2, one for nand, and one for sd card.

For an easy download this time i made a torrent file, so please, keep it in seeding, thanks 🙂

QBee-X_TMC: nand  nand-v2 (different trackers)

QBee-X_TMC: sd  sd-v2 (different trackers)
