Very nice. How are you finding the onboard Intel HD graphics? Have you had any issues running 24Hz video?

I'm using also the HD4000 graphics in two HTPC's. The first one has also an I3-3225 CPU and the other is equipped with an E3-1245v2 and there's is absolutely no problem with 24p on my Samsung TV

I'm totally happy. And there are no problems with the 24p I have not.

Presumably (as you are on here) you are using Mediaportal, and the IR remote that came with the HD-Plex. I have an old H5.TODD that I singularly failed to get operating properly with MP (here). It simply doesn't operating like an MCE remote. I did once manage to get it mostly working using the Keyboard plugin, but that isn't supported anymore as far as I'm aware.

At the moment I have a USB IR dongle that just simply works perfectly with no config whatsoever, except selecting "MCE Remote" in the MP Remotes config. But that is an ugly solution.

So I'd be intrigued as to how you made it work. I'm planning to get either a H1.S or H3.S just like these, so knowing the remote works perfectly (or how to achieve that) would be great.

I use Generic Keyboard/Remote Input Plugin

Thx. I did have that running back in the days of 1.3, but not since 1.5 (and now I'm on 1.7). Are you on MP 1.7? It isn't altogether clear to me where the latest release of the plugin actually resides.
