Hello All,
I almost bought an ODROID XU4 the other day. I was all the way to my shopping cart (board, clear case, and 64gb eMMC flash drive), and all I had to do was hit the buy button. I chickened out (or rather decided I probably shouldn't drop almost $200 immediately after Christmas) at the last minute and closed the window. LOL
That said, my birthday is in less than 2 weeks, so I may have to get it
as a present for myself. It would be another neat thing to tinker with, now that the RPi3's are already serving their purpose. :)
I know Gryphon runs or least did run his from an odroid not sure if
hes back on a Pi or not but seems to run great for what its used for.

I knew he had one, but never knew exactly what he was using it for. I'm just interested in the fact that there's 64bit Linux support for that device, whereas there is not for Raspberry Pis. Plus it has twice the power (octocore instead of a quad core, and 2gb ram instead of 1gb ram). We'll see.
I'm still waiting for Weatherman to upgrade his server rack so I can
have his HP server with however many xeon processors it has and like
64gb ram. LOL

I didn't know the Pi3 doesn't have 64 bit builds? that seems pretty strange.. Althoug the odroid has some dream spec's for sure, it's also double the price. so i guess it depends what your using it for.

I know that urge well. I'm currently looking into building a kodi
media center and would like to use an RPi3B because it has built-in
wifi. I already have the odroid XU4 and use it as my desktop. I
compare that to my Acer Aspire with 4GB of memory, and the ODROID is
far and away the faster and more powerful device.

Not sure if you've dabbled in this realm yet or not, but I'm currently running plex-media-server on one of my RPi3's, and it doesn't seem to
want to play anything larger than 720p HD (non-blu ray). As soon as I
try to play a blu ray movie it actually gives a warning message saying
the server isn't powerful enough. :(

Check your file format, make sure they are MP4 or MKV, if they are anything else I noticed it takes a bus load more resources for plex to attempt to stream it. Plex also has a built in conversion tool if you
do not have one outside of it can convert the files then replace them
with the new MP4 versions. Just my observation when using Plex.
I placed a monitor on CPU and Memory and both show a pretty big spike
with other formats.

So keep that in mind when you add movies to your media center, in case
you see anything similar.

I don't think blue-ray will be a problem for me. The primary reason I wanted to dabble in a media server was so that I could digitize my DVD collection and reclaim my shelf space. But I stopped buying DVD's
about 5 years ago. I ended up doing the DVD rental from Netflix or Redbox, and then moved on to streaming when more titles became
available that way. I have yet to delve into blue-ray, as I do not
intend to buy a blue-ray player.

You don't need to buy blu-ray player to stream digitized blu-ray movies. :)

One wonders how you can digitize a blue-ray movie if you don't have a means for digitizing it.

Sorry for the late response on this. :P I've done that almost a dozen times because of the power difference between the ODROID XU4 and RPi3.
But the RPi3 always wins out at the end. I might purchase one in the
long run though as a portable dev system when I don't want to lug
around my laptop everywhere I go. Everything seems to be so heavy
once you get a hold of one of these mini board systems.
