I haven't done much with software yet at the moment, but it is running on Windows 7 Ultimate with Windows Media Center. Haven't had the time to really 'set it up as a HTPC' yet, been using it more as a normal desktop, watching 720p videos with VLC Media Player and managing my files while I am transitioning from my old laptop to my new laptop (in delivery).

Any tips/pointers would be appreciated.

Low Yat Plaza should hv it, just call up the local distributor, get the company name from Hauppauge website...

i can't play some BDMV folders using tmt3, the player gets stuck just at the opening folder stage. Its not due to wrong region code cos tested it.


have used bdedit and mediainfo to examine the structure and compare to other working BDMV and can only see that the possible problem to be two video streams between the two BDMV.



Playing the streams directly is OK and VLC also can play the folder.

Anyone have any idea what to look for and to resolve this problem.

Does ASRock come with HDMI ports ? Are you limited to 720p videos playback ? BTW where did you purchase the unit ?

Couldn't tell you much with Windows Media Center as I am currently using Xbmc on Ubuntu.

hi all sifu..
im need help all ur help urgent...
i already buy HT (due to arrive by sunday)set but right now need sound card (range RM 100-350) for pc use
tomorrow i will go to lowyat...

any advice suggestion welcome

p/s if im in the wrong thread tell me

does your HT accepts HDMI? any partcular reason that you want a soundcard?
because you could get away with a new graphics card with soundchip integrated in it.

yup have hdmi slot.. my graphic card is ati 5670..how to connect the graphic cards with the HT system? the hdmi port will go to the amp and the dvi port will connect to the monitor?

Hi there,

Any further comments on the keyboard?

I'm thinking of getting this keyboard too...

have setup mediabrowser + tmt3 which is working nicely.

would like to ask how to get tmt3 to play BD ISO files?

For a keyboard designed to be used while lounging on a couch, etc, etc, it's really good. But one quirk, the mouse buttons are above the touchpad, and I have no friggin idea how much the volume is increased/decreased via a long press/short press. But overall, it's really good for its size, simplicity and ease of use.

have to create a script to mount and lauch tmt3. i reckon there's a few on the net.
or you could extract the content of the iso to a bdmv folder fashion and play from that.

other wireless keyboard and mouse are not that cheap also. i'm using logitech mk250 for mine and it costs something like RM90 i think. back then, the cool wireless keyboard and mouse combo like this are not yet available.

this belkin media pilot integrates a programmable IR remote and a rechargeable wireless keyboard. with mouse buttons integrated into it.

selling for under RM200 in lelong. never used nor researched the effectiveness of it though. but the programmable IR functions does sound interesting.

at last managed to get HD audio from my htpc...
but 1080p playback, with 20-30gb mkv (with HD audio etc) is not so smooth. Playing but not smooth as expected.
Any config that i can do? any website that i can refer...they are like thousands of guides out there and not all actually works..
got problem with the subtitle too...for BDRIP (i.e. files in folders, not single mkv)...

As i always said....USER PROBLEM. Too many people who dunno how to use computer...and then they blame MS.

Is there a way to play iso by double clicking on it rather than mounting it?

Why do you want to do so? It's already damn good that we have Daemon Tools so we won't need to waste CDs...

Anyway, I've never come by such an action before. Don't think anybody has created something to do that.

xbmc plays dvd iso by clicking on it. and as i've said before, there's script available to automate mounting and play for bd.iso

help help..
i can bitstream HD audio when playing video files in BD folder structure...
But when playing single mkv...the playback stucks...play 1 2 sec..then stop..play again...stuck...

where are all the sifus....this thread like dead already...
