    If multisit configuration used with dedicated tvserver. TVServer uses video card resources or its not important to it (possible to use server without videocard)?

    My TV Server is a headless box without either a screen or keyboard, it does however have an video output on the motherbaord. So, provided you do not want to watch anything on the TV Server and its being used purely as a recording engine plus delivery of recordings/movies/music etc to clients you can probably manage with just the onboard video.

    Of course, to even build the server you need to be able to monitor the software installation, so make sure you have some monitor output ability!

    Cheers Mike

    I had the same feeling about MP1, nothing was working out of the box, it was full of hardcoded dependencies and bugs. That’s how I came to MP2 and I’m very happy with it ;)

    Pfff, amazing MadVR instead of (the good one) EVR. Watched 240p movies given by my family on Full HDTV. What can I say : For 240p, less macroblocks, better smoothed. For all : More transparency, more mirroring (example, reflects pictures on cars, on flasks of water). When available, it is worth to take time to configure MadVR, at the...
