[QUOTE="VirtualMP, post: 769065, member: 114521"] New user here, just found this post today. I have been running mediaportal for a few years and on the same machine I have VMWare server to run a couple of machines I use for home automation and a VPN (openVPN AS), its the only machine I leave on 24/7. I am in the process of building an ESXI whitebox and have run into problems with the TVServer. How far I have got; Built the whitebox and got ESXI 4.1 U1 installed, core I7 870 on q57m chipset (VD-d) Got a primary windows 7 machine installed with VT-d graphics and USB, this works perfectly as a second slave mediaportal machine and is in place of what was my old slave machine, been working for weeks after smoothing out some ESXi problems with VT-d but it plays HD and games perfectly like its not a VM. Got my other 2 VM's ported over and are now much more stable but that could just be the 8 threads and 8 gig of ram (old machine was E5200 with 4gb, 3gb useable). This machine dual boots into windows so I can double check hardware, was usefull when I bought some duff ram. Problems I have, Hauppauge NOVA-T 500 wont work in the XP VM as it gets to the driver install firmware update and fails (just waits for update reply which never comes). In windows 7 VM I get USB_BUG_CODE BSOD's which I also get in native windows 7 so could be a MB problem. PEAK dual PCI will work in XP VM but always reports no signal in TV Server channel scan. Same BUG_CODE in W7 both VM and native. NOVA T USB works in W7 VM, scans channels and finds them but then wont tune any "unable to start graph" first test was with mysql which did not even create the timeshift file, now trying SQL Express and with this the file gets made but no playback starts. I've not done much testing with this stick (only paid penies for it and was using it to run a Hauppauge remote on the slave machine) but it does not work well in the past with anything I've tried it on. Still testing, not giving up and it works perfectly as a MP slave device but that PC used to get switched off when not in use. Incidently the lowest score in W7 experience index is 5.5 for memory in the VM so I dont know that latencies will be a problem, thinks like VLC and Squeezebox have been working fine for me for years in VM's running in VMWare server.
