YouTube Coming Back to the A200/C200
May 11th
Missed Youtube? own a A200 or C200? then lucky you! Steve Young from Syabas posted the following on the NMT forums.
Yes we will be bringing Youtube back to the A-200 and C-200. It will be delivered as an application similar to that of Rev3 and other apps right now.
A-100/A-110′s will not have it because we can only deliver the Flash Version of Youtube, and can no longer support the html version.

XBMC Running on a Popcorn Hour
May 11th
A clever chap called EJP posted a rather interesting video of his handy work. EJP has got XBMC up and running on the NMT platform, the video below shows off XBMC on a Popcor
n Hour A110 so just think how fast it would be on a A200!
You can check out all the info over at the networked media tank forums – be sure to keep an eye out for updates!
On a personal note all I have wanted since I sold my xbox was XBMC up and running on a media player without the hassle of a HTPC.
I was mostly inactive for the last few months (for those who noticed) because of this. To keep it under wraps, I decided to work mostly alone and seek help outside of the NMT community. Naturally, XBMC needs no introduction.
With Flash Lite GUIs in development, I felt I needed to completely trump all current GUIs and jukeboxes. All the work was completely done. We just needed to get it to “work.”
Early on, I realized that if I could get this working, this would certainly revolutionize the NMT. If you think about it, we would be instantly backed by the entire XBMC community. That’s 7 years of development and a 50,000+ userbase.
I can’t go much into detail about this project as this is still in beta. It is close enough to completion that I can offer this to beta testers, but it will be extremely closed, even more so than the Alaska beta (for those who remember). If all goes well, a first public release should be within reach.
All I can discuss is what’s in the video:
1. I am running a version of XBMC Live via USB. However, it should just as easilly be installed to an internal hard drive.
2. The default interface (Confluence) can sometimes be sluggish, but optimizing XBMC and the skin is in the works. Simpler skins, such as Alaska, should run smoother.As mentioned, this is an extremely closed beta. This means:
1. I will NOT be accepting candidates for beta testers. Instead, I will be messaging YOU, offering you a position on the beta testing team. Please do not ask why I haven’t chosen you. Please do not take it personally if I don’t choose you.
2. I will only speak about development to beta testers, whoever they might be. You can ask as many questions as you like, but I can only guarantee answers to beta testers.
3. I will not be posting the list of beta testers, so beta testers must interact directly with me only.
We expect a public beta test soon, so finally the A200/C200 gets a good UI

Popcorn Hour A-200 Networked Media Tank
Jan 22nd
A few days after CES, Popcorn Hour revealed a new media player called the A200 designed to replace the classic A110. They announced it on a popular user forum, the good news is we shall be selling the A200 in the UK.
The Popcorn Hour A-200 is a new network media player in a compact case that slots in-between the company’s entry-level (and now discontinued) A-110 and flagship C-200; you lose the externally-accessed HDD/Blu-ray bay (though you can still internally mount a 2.5/3.5-inch HDD) but still get full 1080p HD functionality. A new flash based UI and application centre coming soon in a new firmware release.
The core specifications of the A200 are a 667MHz processor, 512MB of memory and 256MB of NAND flash. With all that power needless to say it can handle MPEG-4, DivX, Xvid and AVCHD formats, along with UPnP media streaming and internet video, pretty much everything you can throw at it.
Connectivity includes USB 2.0 slave and host ports, gigabit Ethernet, HDMI v1.3a and the usual component/composite/S-Video ports.
Any questions just get in touch.
