Acer Revo R3610 ?

I guess you're using HDMI? I've had that a couple times. There are 3 ways around it.

1. Turn the TV off and on again
2. Unplug and replug the HDMI cable
3. Press the power button to put it into sleep mode and then again to wake it up
   

Not elegant I know but it does work. It doesn't happen often anyway. Other idea would be to keep it in sleep mode rather than turning it off.

so running osx + xbmc on 3610 - any issues with full sound capabilities running over hdmi?

Unfortunately hdmi audio is not supported at the moment.

cheers

Other than the hdmi issue, how is the general performance? Any lagging?

ah.. ok thanks.

I was hoping to avoid mucking with getting my audio sorted again.. I've had a 3610 that was running fine for the last 6 months, but of course I had to go muck with it.. So I'm just looking at doing a re-install - not sure what method to do, minimal, xbmcfreak's live, full ubuntu install.. What is the suggested way now for the 3610? Before I had to upgrade alsa and get the asound.conf file correct.

to be honest I think if you want everything to work out of the box Windoze 7 is the way to go. If you can live with that is another story. Personally I like a little tweaking.

I have been really impressed with performance, no lagging to report. It runs much smoother than windows 7. XBMC runs sweet also. os x is pretty good fun tbh.

cheers

I like the tinkering.. I'm always doing something like that and really enjoy it so I don't mind. I just did a few searches and saw sh*tloads of posts about different ways people are doing things, and I hate sorting through them all to find one that works right.. or re-installing because you've spiralled down some rabbit hole to find a solution that doesn't work.

I tested xbmcfreaks live version, everything seemed to work, except for menu sounds which i could live without, but I'm just wondering what most others are doing on their 3610s..

@Harryzim Makes me wanna remove xbmcfreak now! I guess because quartz extreme is fully supported?

@Gribbler We should start getting some hard drive images of working implementation going! That way everyone wouldn't have to be reinventing the wheel everytime..

It most certainly is.
