Build 1080p movie player with Raspberry Pi? - 987 - 06-06-2014 04:36 PM
Would it work? What would you suggest as components? I need portable movie player I can watch 1080p movies on.

I think it is better to ask this on their forums.
As far as I remember there are read OS's for HTPC that run on Raspberry Pi and they do support FULL HD - 1080p

The GPU on the Pi was originally intended for a Blue-Ray player, so it definitely supports 1080p video.
There are two free ready-to-run media player systems for the Pi (RaspBMC and OpenElec) - downloads here http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads. Google those names for setup instructions.
Components? An HDMI cable to connect the Pi to the TV, and an internet connection for the Pi if you are downlaoding, or a USB-connected DVD/Blue-Ray player if you are playing discs.
