Re: xbmc

FWIW xbmc is now called kodi.

Although the RN516 has an HDMI port, it is still designated as "for future use". I don't think anyone has successfully used it for rendering media. So if that is your goal, I think it will be difficult to get there.

Re: xbmc

But if you do find a way to do it it would be interesting to see your steps.
