Yes, the ceton eth6 makes running under a hyper-v vm possible. USB ceton didn't work at all (might have had a better chance trying it with 1.15.0)
As mm1352000 says though, network latency, disk access latency and the hyper-v timeslicing get in the way big time.
The machine I run is an i7 with 24G of memory and I could barely run MP1.15.0 or MP2. I am running hyper-v under windows 10 pro.
I'm going to try it again later next month using nanoserver and containers. my goal is to try mp1 server as a container and connect my workstations to it.
It's purely a *gosh* can-I-do-this project, I don't expect it to be a viable production or even test environment.
I set up my virtual machine with 4 virtual processors starting with 8G of memory but allocating it dynamic in the 4G to 12G range.
I've got sql server 2016 running there as well and the machine hovers at 7 to 9G under load.
The network hardware assists are turned on but I still have some issues with the client talking reliably to the server; which is why I wouldn't recommend this.
I don't think the issue is within MediaPortal. I think a displaycard upgrade and using remotefx would help. my display card doesn't quite support that.
but serious work would need to be done in checking the different network card options if anyone is going to try this for real.
