Zotac Zbox Nano AD10 with xbmc

phoenix2000 · 2011-10-09 07:20

I have not used any heavier skins, but the XBMC 10.1 interface is very zippy with the default skin, so I can't for see any major issues with a heavier skin. On a side note all the issues I described were resolved when I went the XBMC_HD_Audio route. After hearing DTS-HD MA and DD TrueHD, there is no going back. My only issue at this point is 1080p playback skips every now and then. I have my AD10 loaded with a Sata 3 SSD, 4 GB of ram and all drivers are current. I know Sata3 is overkill, but it starts up and shuts down so fast. I have tried all combinations of XBMC video settings. I have xbmc loading as the shell. I have turned off unnecessary services. Changed my Windows visual settings to minimal. I have played MKVs from USB to in case it was a network issue. I am at a loss...

I am tempted to try Ubuntu with XBMC Live cause I know it works better with HD, but this is unfamiliar ground to me.

Does this work well with the live version of XBMC on a USB stick? Would really appreciate it if someone could try it.

Hi all,

Just got a zbox and the picture is not as good as it should be. I have enabled hardware acceleration and turned of the skin tone correction as well as vibrant colours and this has gone along way to fixing it but the picture still seems to lose quality compared to my other pc.

any help would be appreciated thanks.

I don't know if this threat is still active.
At this point I was not able to reproduce HD video smoothly and HD sound is not supported.
