Following my topic on how to install Mediaportal on Windows 2008 R2 ...
here is the next step.
With the use of SP1 for Windows 2008 and a certified Remote FX GPU , i have managed to get Mediaportal up and running
on a Virtual machine (hosted on the same windows2008 machine)
In effect, you only need a very cheapish client with an RDP client (Wyse thinclient also works).
The only thing you really need is at least a 10mbps connection to your VM.
This will make the use of TVSERVER on win2008 very effective, also since there is a fix included in the new Betaversion of MP which reduces disk activity for at least 95% when streaming !
So you would be able to run multiple clients at once without hassle.
Maximum resolution Maximum number of monitors in virtual machine setting
1 monitor 1920 x 1200 220 MB
2 monitors 1920 x 1200 308 MB
The memory used is on the SERVER videocard , so when running 4 clients you need at least a GPU with 1 GB memory
Just connect a thinclient or cheapish client to your network and watch TV...
What do you need:
A certified Remote FX cpu (SSE2 capable)
A certified Remote FX gpu (directx 9.0 and 10 capable) and an available WDMM driver
Use install topic to install windows 2008 r2 with mediaportal in my signature.
Now the question: would anyone care for a step by step instruction guide on how its done, or will i just waste my time creating detailed instructions instead of watching MP in the bathtub on a RDP session
