I’ve already written a short review of Mele PCG03 mini PC powered by Intel Atom Z3735 F processor, with 2 GB RAM, and 32 GB e MMC flash, where I found out that almost it’s not the fastest device around, it’s still usable for most tasks, albeit you can quickly run out of space with only 32 GB storage, so if you really plan to use it as an actual computer using applications such as email clients, web browser and office suites, an external USB hard drive, or connection to a NAS is probably a must, or you’ll probably have to run Disk Cleaner fairly often.

Kodi 14.1 on Mele PCG03 ( Click for Original Size) I’ve now installed Kodi 14.1, downloaded directly from xbmc.org, on this low cost and low power computer, to go through my video test files, and see how it performs compared to the many ARM based Android TV boxes I’ve tested in the past. I’ve played the videos over Ethernet from a SAMBA share on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine, unless otherwise noted.

Let’s get started with videos samples from samplemedia.linaro.org, plus some H.265/ HEVC videos ( Elecard and a low resolution VP9 video: H.264 codec / MP4 container ( Big Buck Bunny 480p/720p/1080p – OK MPEG2 codec / MPG container, 480p/720p/1080p – OK. But XBMC reports decoding at 24 fps, instead of the video native 25 fps.
