One more quick question, what size is the spacing on the vesa mount?

Thanks for the reply.

an estimate is the holes on the vest mount are about 10cm to 15 cm diagonally apart.

For me this device was much better than a reveo 3610 I had about a year ago.

It was quieter.
The menus didn't stutter
and it is cheaper.

how does it handle the AeonMQ skin? Big Grin

no idea don't use it but runs wonder full on Neon or Neon SVN

thats odd, whats the highest bitrate file you can play without any issues.
I'm wondering if the problem may lie in my unRAID server, I'll upgrade that later.

i got a 15Gb file playing seamlessly not sure of the maximum.

No way I'm downloading a 45Gb bluRay to test with.

drop a high bit rate file onto the box locally as a test.

Is somebody able to test a reasonable sized (~30GB) MKV with this?

I'm sorely tempted to buy one but most of my films are HD now so if it doesn't play them it's a deal breaker.

Ok I took the plunge and got one

I'm struggling to get Audio through HDMI, could somebody let me know what their settings are?

Do I need to update the nvidia driver? (apt-get upgrade?)

Edit

Nevermind, it was muted in Alsamixer!! Duhh

I'd still like to update the nvidia drivers, do I just run apt-get upgrade

Don't want to trash my kernel

Really interesting thread, makes me even more excited of receiving mine (ordered it on Monday and knowing ebuyer, it should not arrive before next Monday :/).

Anyway, I intend to use it as an emulation platform too (with Launcher/Advanced Launcher) and I am quite excited to see which platforms I will be able to run.
