Now that you have the hardware and experience, I'd like to ask you something (althought it might probably take some time to see the answer): I've been using XBMC on my Apple TV 1st gen for two years, over the stripped-down version of OS X that it came with and then with Linux (Openelec, Al Garcia (@algarcia)http://notas.litelate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327445147317079821.post-47516349764731551652014-04-12T12:05:42.976-07:002014-04-12T12:05:42.976-07:00I'm using this app: http://pym.uce.pl/pymplaye...I'm using this app: http://pym.uce.pl/pymplayer.html on my G3 and G4<br />It is a MPlayer based player and is only in polish language :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327445147317079821.post-9963412343693646422013-03-25T23:03:59.299-07:002013-03-25T23:03:59.299-07:00dr.dave will have a Linux playback post at some po...dr.dave will have a Linux playback post at some point in the not too distant future. <br /><br />I myself prefer Mac OS for all my video playback needs but I only use G4's.

Any G3 with a GPU capable of DVD decoding can play DVD perfectly. Later Rage 128 and up all support decoding.<br /><br />Without decoder hardware it's forced to use the CPU which is normally too slow on it's own.<br /><br />It's like I said in the Leopard on sub-867 MHz hardware post...
