I just bought the cubox to try this out on (Before that I was using i3 intel NUCs, so my cost will go from around 400$ per node to 100$ per node). I cannot even begin to evangelize how awesome this project is. You can keep all your source content in a central place with very little system requirements and do all the unpacking on a tiny arm/intel system. Interface is fantastic, and paired with yaste its the best media center experience that exists today.

I have this exact setup: a Cubox-i4 Pro in the front room and RPi in a bedroom) connected to my QNAP NAS which runs a shared (MySQL) library; it's fantastic. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  Any suggestions on a good android device (not a phone) for running Yaste? I've been extremely unimpressed with all the home theater remote options on the market now.

    I run it on my Nexus 10 as well as my phone and it's fairly nice. It's not quite as polished as Plex imo but it's improving at a decent pace; updates are very frequent. I uploaded some screenshots of it on my N10: http://imgur.com/2mdrFYx http://imgur.com/2mdrFYx http://imgur.com/nqppci9 http://imgur.com/nqppci9 http://imgur.com/xB2AN1H http://imgur.com/xB2AN1H

  Is it possible to pop up Chrome with this setup to do some lightweight browsing on the TV?

    Not without installing extensions or plugins[0]. I like and use Yatse but primarily control Kodi via CEC using my TV's remote, which wouldn't really be suitable for browsing. A simpler method would be to use Miracast or Chromecast for this.
