QUOTE(paskal @ Aug 16 2010, 06:59 AM) 7MC with MediaBrowser have the ability to separate your files into isolated custom categories like concerts, music videos, bluray bdmv, low definition, high definition and yada yada. with xbmc, you're stuck with videos and movies. You means 7MC are better than XBMC?   |

I think 7MC don't have scapper which is nessesary for me.
7MC just display meaningless black thumbnail for video file. BTW, I no doubt that 7MC are great and nice for photo & music. This post has been edited by minimize: Aug 17 2010, 07:40 AM |

Anyone already try setup your HTPC to boot directly to XBMC using EventGhost Method?
It will make HTPC functions like an 'appliance'. |

QUOTE(paskal @ Oct 27 2010, 11:28 AM) yes you can. you can lock programs to display on which monitor. I already put in startup folder, but when my HTPC start, windows taskbar is always in-front of XBMC screen. I have to manually click on XBMC screen and then I can use my remote control. What should I do to make XBMC start in fully full screen. i used to. just put the xbmc shortcut in the startup folder inside start menu.  |

QUOTE(stan001 @ Oct 28 2010, 08:20 AM) Run Linux version of XBMC perhaps... I heard it can be started as an appliance style... as most of appliance nowdays uses linux at the backend.. Instead of using linux, any method to make XBMC is automatically infront of windows taskbar when windows boot up? |

QUOTE(eric84cool @ Nov 12 2010, 10:40 PM) For the audio output, where you going to plug to? Can I plug it to cinema amplifier, I own Pioneer VSX 820 but just curious one thing, since the soundcard in DELL ZINO ables to produce 7.1 THX while my pioneer could support that as well. I just confuse how you going to link between this 3...speakers, amplifier and HTPC? I think HTPC will connect to AMP via HDMI and AMP will be connect to speaker via speaker cableHTPC -> AMP -> Speaker |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Nov 19 2010, 06:44 PM) Yeah, I'm aware of this. Only thing coming from AMD / ATI that can do bitstream is the ATI 5xxx graphics card. Just buy one la That's correct. For those who are stuck with G45 / P45 chipset platform like myself, the ATI 5xxx or the Asus Xonar soundcard is the way to go. Anyway, what's the point of TrueHD bitstreaming when I don't have an AVR and speakers to fully utilise it?  Mostly all latest AVR nowdays already have a TrueHD/DTS-HD feature. |
