[tlug] linuxdevices for display on a tv

[Christian Horn <chorn@example.com>]

Hello all,

I recently installed Fedora+XMBC on a Thinkpad x200 with docking 
station - just to find out that this hardware does not transport 
audio over the displayport.  Via a displayport->hdmi converter I 
wanted to connect this to a TV.  Missing audio, this combination 
will not work out for me.


I am looking for advice, considering the following requirements:

- I want to control the device myself, install and run Linux etc.
- HDMI output should be provided, including audio
- taking all of the above into account I would take a raspberry pi,
  a beagleboard or such.  Yet besides playing media with mplayer,
  I would like to see Japanese ドラマ directly with a webbrowser.
  For streaming only Adobe flash is used.. this seems to prevent
  ARM from beeing used.


Any ideas, maybe someone having found a good solution for similiar 
requirements?

Christian
