[mythtv-users] Questions about XBox front end

[Edgar Sigal]

One item to note, be sure to enable XvMC to use hardware decoding of Mpeg
streams. Its interesting to see the change in CPU load when it is enabled vs
having the system do all the decoding.

I run the M10000 with no problems. It does not have a DVD drive or a 
hard disk. It boots using MiniMyth v0.19-something.

It was a pain (about 2 hours) modding the minimyth.conf to make it work, 
but since then it just works.

It is quiet as the fan has an inline resistor to slow it down. Since 
there's no disk, I just turn it off as and when I don't use it. I have 
to look at the power light to see if it's running. The SP13000 will be 
easily fast enough.
