For WAF problem about living room, this computer is perhaps for kitchen ? ;) ;) ;)

Problem is - we have an open kitchen that is connected to the living room. No solution there, pal :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have been thinking about a kitchenpc, though. Some little touch screen and a small unit to keep recepies and the grocery list... Ah, never mind ;-) We've been talking about that on the German Mediaportal Forum some time ago.

All things considered

Whether its cool or the next move in keeping your PC running cooler, theres just no reason to use such a setup in the home really!

In my thinking there are just to many thing to go wrong with it! I have an aqwuarium in a house with three other roommates and they cant keep they're crap off it it which leads to all kinds of things floating in the tank.

Second: consider whats entailed on working on your system for upgrades and such. Not saying that keeping your system in oil is all that bad, but do you really want to be dealing with cleaning up from working on your system that way on a regular basis. Most heavy end users do plenty of upgrades to ram motherboards and such pretty frequently.

Third: So if your place suddenly catches fire is it going to be easier to snatch a box and run or pull a board and parts out of dripping oil and run with it in a fire. :)

Sure if you have a stable clean environment where no one but you is dealing with it it sounds way cool.

Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

Herzlichen Dank, Lehmden, dann werde ich erst mal den Plex-Server testen. Vielleicht nutze ich dann wieder Mediaportal2. wie früher oder Kodi. Das muss ich mir noch überlegen. Jedenfalls hast du mir sehr geholfen.

When my AVR bit the dust recently I took the opportunity to upgrade my projector to an LS11000 to gain 4K. Install went fine until I switched to my HTPC which is my primary source. When I switch to the HTPC the screen goes blank for a long time and then I have sound, no picture, and in the lower left hand corner: "Source: HDMI 1 Not...

MP has adjustable audio delay. I don't know whether this works for all video formats, but it certainly works for TS files, and may work for MP4 files. There is a slider that allows you to adjust the audio delay while playing a video. Press the INFO button on the remote control to display the OSD, select the "Audio" icon, and then...

There has been some jigger-pokery going on with the Windows volume OSD in newer MP-1 versions to get it and the MP volume OSD to display as per the options in MP Config. The behaviour you are seeing will be fixed in the next release, the Windows volume OSD will appear very briefly on MP exit on the desktop but fades away completely...
