[mythtv-users] How is the Mac mini as a front-end?

[Justin Kim]

I tend to think the integrated video is just not sending a signal 
(DVI -> HDMI via an adaptor, btw) the TV understands immediately. 
I'd guess it's the TV trying to understand the signal it's being 
sent, finally "getting it" and displaying properly.  The amount of 
time it takes for the image to stabilize is not fixed - some times it 
dials in quickly, sometimes it takes a maddening long amount of time.

I don't know about any discussions about optimizing the Intel build. 
The mythtv wiki on the subject is a little quiet.

I'm running an MMX-enabled 0.19 fixes build

Yes and no.  My mini and monitor occasionally have communications

video before one or the other "dials in" and starts to display video

properly.


Sounds kind of  annoying. Any thoughts on the source of the problem? 
Hardware, software or environment?


- How is the over all usability? Does it integrate with frontrow?


It works well enough.  I'm hoping that performance will improve so I

can get more reliable HD playback without having to resort to

switching settings when moving from standard to HD playback.


Have there been any discussions about performance optimization for the mini?

Great information thanks for sharing you experiences.
