Hi guys I'm thinkingof building a new HTPC but I want it to be able to be a gaming console as well. So I just wanted to know what kind of processor and video card do I need to be compared to the PS3 system?

    I guess it all depends on what kind of games you want to play.
    A few days ago, someone told me that his Core Duo E8400(3Ghz) with an Ati 3870/512Mb on Xp is not able to play GTA4 which seems to run fine on a PlayStation.

    I'm not a gamer, so I cannot give you any advice on that.

For this setup I had to use the url rtsp://192.168.1.77/stream20.0 This post has some pretty good detail on RTSP, it's from 2018 but seems to be ok from what I see. RTSP Streaming Not Working Edit: There's...
