My last-gen RPi is my primary non-interactive-media device. With Kodi / OSMC it makes a superb media center, capable of playing everything up to and including 1080p video. Very few compatibility issues, easily extensible, file transfer from my desktop via SFTP, and consumes little enough power I just leave it on 24/7. Doesn't do H.265, sadly. I wonder if the new one will... EDIT: Ars Technica says "yes". "The new Pi also gains H.265 support for the first time but is limited to 1080p at 30fps."

Have you (or anyone else here) got tvheadend working on the Pi? It's supposed to work, but for me falls over at the very last hurdle of never actually tuning in any channels.

But it's not hardware HEVC right?

  No hardware HEVC according to [1]Sam Nazarko at OSMC. It's software decoding for HEVC. He's already had his hands on it. [1] https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/raspberry-pi-3-announced-with-osmc-support/13769/4 https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/raspberry-pi-3-announced-with-os...
