Thanks for the reply - I think I saw a few of your posts on this in another thread. I tried TVversity as an alternative to the supplied D-Link software some years ago, and while it was ok, it was never that stable on my (wired) network. Ideally what I would like is integrated UPnP service on MP, but I will try that plugin for the...

It is not cleared (unless you explicitly clear it). While it will likely log disk errors, it might not log the reason for the crash (since the O/S crashed the software can't run to log the errors). If you find some events that might be the cause, try Googling the event ID.

It's just long enough, it was a bit tricky. That's actually the only con with the PSU, the 12V cable is a bit bulky as well.
I've actually measured the consumption and it's a about 420-430W. But it doesn't matter, the current setup is dead silent. I do quite a bit of H264 encoding so I sure need the horsepower.

Hi,
actually you can choose where to store the timeshift files and the recordings. Both paths can be selected in the TV server configuration utility. But usually you would choose a local drive on the server to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
Why don't you try out MP before building a dedicated HTPC or even a whole multi-seat...

The Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H iG45 is a compact board and as there is room in the Silverstone and I want to be able to expand in the future I am thinking a "normal" size board should be better. Also, is it powerful enough for playing games (on a moderate level)?
Good to hear about the CPU!

yes, I have already found that. I wish a smaller, 45W TPD version of that. Maybe we could downvolt and underclock it for less heat (it has open multiplier!). But it is still too pricey.
The reason for upgrade from my X2 BE-2400 is the better HT bandwith not the CPU performance, it is enough already.
