<br></blockquote></div><br>I am using an i3 530 with a Biostar TH55B as my master backend and an ocassionally used frontend.<br><br>When I first installed I was on an early kernel version 2.6.32 with an alpha Ubuntu 10.04. This version did not work for video playback. I would get constant lockups just loading into X.<br>
<br>Since then Ubuntu has backported some significant changes from 2.6.33 into the release 10.04 kernel labelled 2.6.32-15 or so. Once I updated to this version I was able to playback HD and SD mpeg2 (recorded from a pvr250 and hdhomerun) with no issues and minimal CPU usage. I am also able to playback h.264 encoded files that are less than HD resolution with no issues. I have not tested other types of files.<br>
<br>This is all using the HDMI output to my TV. I have not been able to get HDMI audio to work and I've had trouble determining if it because the chipset is unsupported or if I am just doing something wrong.<br><br>David<br>
