Hello all,
I discover XBMC and it's wouah nice.
I would like to build a PCHC with XBMC instead of buying a WDTV live for example.
So my first test is succeed but ... let me explain my test:
I have a PC windows XP sp3 /Geforce 8800GT - HDMI - Sony kdl-46w4500
Put on the pc, screen resolution is 1920*1080 in available 24,50,60hz as default. native is 1080p/60hz.
I works great but i don't see all the windows desktop and same in xbmc, i see also xmc cutted which is less nice to click on some button.
There is a possibility via advanced video config of nvidia to resize the screen to see everything, if i'm doing this , i lost the 24hz resolution which is not acceptable for me.
For the moment, all my movies are in a pc with a ps3 media server to PS3 console (as ps3 is a stupid media server). It represent a lot of energy consumption lost ...
That's why i would like to move to a PCHC solution.
It's not a problem on xbmc but as xbmc is recommended for a free PCHC solution, this should be a solution somewhere, can you help me ?
