Intel dc3217iye as MePo Client (2 Viewers)

[TheBatfink]

@TheBatfink 1080i is fine no frame drops at all, BBC HD and all the Sky HD channels working fine. I have set up UNC folders and am playing the media over a gigabit network.

I can upload a video to show you if you wish.

One issue I am having however is the small screen on resume if I don't switch on the TV first.

Thanks for that. Moving Pics and TVSeries? - do you think the small screen is a driver issue or a MePo oddity?
So I need to find super thin 32" to pair this Guess I ought to start researching how to convert my MePo installation into a server from a single seat!

Another question.. when timeshifting on a client only, who writes the stream? The TV server or each client? Just curious if its the TVServer or not as my ram disc isn't going to be big enough for two shifting clients?

I believe all timeshifting is on Server side. Each client receives it's own designated stream from the Server.

Timeshifting is done on tvserver.
If nuc as tvserver get bigger msata disk, put timeshift on usb-stick or add 16gb ram on it an create the biggest ramdisk possible.

The only downside to this is the USB is 2.0

Personally I wouldn't use it as a TV Server as there are only 3 USB slots and you need one for a USB IR device.

The developers are working on a fix. But what worked for me is this. In the 3rd reply it went clear for me. There is a simulated monitor (The regkey starting with SIMULATE) wich is switched to when the HDMI connection is temperary broken while switching your monitor ON/OFF.
So just set PrimSurfSize.cx PrimSurfSize.cy to your current resolution and voila.....

So I got myself a new TV for the bedroom and a DC3217IYE on the way Friday so hopefully be set up and tested for the weekend. In the end I found the centrino wifi pcie board for £15 so I'm going to try it out before laying cables. My laptop seems to manage fine on the N wireless with 1080p so fingers crossed.

Had to go round the houses for parts though, 3 suppliers :/ looking forward to playing with it though

Can anyone with one say whether they come with any IR stuff? One thing I never ordered was a IR receiver..

 

[kiwijunglist]

no Ir

Argh I'm struggling to find a microsoft compatible receiver for some reason. Don't suppose you know of anywhere in the UK to order one which isn't going to need irss or anything..
