Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center is gebaseerd op XBMC en moet een computer tot een volwaardige htpc omtoveren. OpenELEC is eenvoudig te installeren, onderhouden en gebruiken, en is verder klein en razendsnel. Naast de standaarddownload zijn er speciale versies beschikbaar voor AMD's Fusion, Nvidia's ION, Apple TV en de Xtreamer Ultra TV. De ontwikkelaars hebben na zeven bètaversies de eerste release candidate van OpenELEC 2.0 uitgebracht, met de volgende aankondiging:
OpenELEC 2.0 Release Candidate 1 released
The OpenELEC team is proud to release the first release candidate of OpenELEC 2.0! Internally this is known by the less-catchy name OpenELEC 1.99.1 :) and we really hope its one of the latest prereleases before our OpenELEC 2.0 final.
After the XBMC Devcon in Vienna 5 weeks ago the PVR sub-projects have now been formally accepted into the XBMC master branch. Because of this and to save us a lot of additional work we have decided to drop the non PVR builds completly starting with this release candidate. Going forward all OpenELEC images will be PVR ready – the PVR functions can simply be enabled (or disabled) in XBMC settings.
