How do I get the AD10 USB IR receiver to work my Harmony 880? I already got the Harmony working with the internal IR, so I thought I could just plug in the USB IR. When I cover up the internal IR and try the Harmony on the USB IR, it doesn't work. When I try the same thing with the standard AD10 remote the thing goes apeshit and whatever button I press becomes permanently pressed, e.g., scrolls to the left in XBMC forever. That shows it can receive a signal, but maybe it's just bugged out because my hand doesn't cover up the internal IR well enough so it goes nuts.

Has anyone else had problems with the AD10's USB 3.0 ports not working? Sometimes I boot the AD10 and plug in 360 controllers and they don't get picked up -- if I check the Device Manager, there's a USB error. Plugging the keyboard/mouse into the USB 3.0 ports doesn't do anything either. But then if I reboot, everything works fine? This has happened to me three times now. Edit: Running Windows 7. tarepanda fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Feb 11, 2013 |

Yes, I haven't been able to get the USB3 ports to work, running OpenElec. I posted about it a couple times but I haven't been able to confirm whether it's an issue with OpenElec or with my AD10. I've only tried USB storage devices, though.

Anyone have issues with their AD12 not recognizing anything put into the SD card slot? I can't get it to see my SD card, which makes it really difficult to put Openelec on it.

Put it on a USB stick, it'll run better from that anyways.

I've been using OpenELEC on my RPi for a while, and went try out Rasbmc but it keeps corrupting. It took a few tries, but after a reboot or two it wouldn't come back from a reboot unless I reformatting the SD Card and started over. Weird. Oddly enough, and the reason I'm posting RPi stuff here (instead of the thread for it) is that I discovered the latest version of OpenELEC recognizes and works well with the Zotac AD10 remote control. It sees it as a CEC device, I think the same as if it would see you TV over HDMI. Pretty awesome, since I don't use it otherwise. I also think its the reason my Rasbmc keeps corrupting, so don't try it there.

Well, I don't think I'll be recommending the Zotac AD12 any more. I'd slapped Windows 7 on there with XMBC back in November and had nothing but problems with the machine and software. It refused to wake from sleep properly about half the time, no matter how much I tinkered with it and reformatted it. Eventually I just turned sleep off fully, and it worked fine for 3 months, but completely died yesterday. Turned on the TV to find XMBC froze up. Had to force a reboot, but the machine wouldn't POST, and now all it does it give me a series of 5 beeps every time I turn it on, which I think is shorthand for "Processor fried" from what I can tell. Yeah, it was left on all the time, but it was in a well ventilated spot and only used for 3 or 4 hours a week.

Weird, I've been using my AD10 as my main desktop since last year and I've had no problems with it (minus a loose wifi antenna, it doesn't stay up but I still get full speed). I also leave mine on all the time. Did you try contacting Zotac? You could have just gotten a dud.

Should I run Openelec on an AD10 from a USB drive or a class 10 SDHC card? Does it matter? I am going to point it at NAS so there's no reason to buy a HD.

Is there anything inherently wrong with the AD11? I found it for $149 with 64GB SSD and 2GB DDR3 at a local store. Obviously, I bought it, but I just haven't seen anyone mention the AD11--it's always the AD10 or AD12. What's with the middle child treatment?

I've mentioned it a few times in this thread but I have a couple AD10's that were running OE from class 10 SD cards pointing at my WHS. I found it very slow to load artwork. I switched to 8GB USB drives instead and noticed a HUGE improvement in terms of how quick it was at loading stuff. I tried to buy the fastest USB stick that was also very small, and settled on the Lexar Echo ZX. I've been very happy and would recommend you take the same route since we have similar setups.

Does anyone have a recommendation for some cheaper wireless video game controllers? I've got a bunch of emulators on my htpc and would love to have the ability to do some two player stuff, but all of the controllers I've found are serious Xbox style guys or are wired ps2-style.

It was mentioned a bit but it was more expensive than the AD10 at the time and, by the time the price came down, the AD12 was already out. The only negative thing I heard about it was the wifi antenna was a plug instead of a screw setup.

I just got a AD10 and all the needed parts to make this HTPC. However, I can't really do that right now, as I need a computer to manage backups for multiple computers, so I was going to do a dual partition for this computer for the time being. I was going to do one partition (32 gig SSD) with FreeNAS for the backup management for the time being, but also wanted to put OpenELEC another partition for it. Basically so when I'm done having it manage backups, or when I want a more portable HTPC I could just grab and go with a USB stick of movies. My question is, do I have to get another bootloader so I can pick between the partions? So far I have only used Chameleon back when I was running a Hackintosh, but that was a long time ago that I set that up, and probably only for Intel PCs trying to boot OS X (although it would also boot Windows for me when needed). Anyone have a simple bootloader solution for this, or is this more than I need to worry about?

Is it worth to upgrade my R3610 to something like an AD10/11/12 or one of those tiny Foxconn A3500 or A3700 boxes? The R3610 has been humming along nicely, but it's nearly 4 years old by now.

I've been watching for a cheap SSD or more ram to make things a little snappier, but other than that I'm in no rush to replace mine The only minor shortcoming we see is that it doesn't have the grunt to transcode 720+ content with Airvideo, but my wife has just learned to only watch lower res files, or Netflix on the treadmill at the gym.

No, not from a functionality standpoint. I guess I was more curious if the processing speed of the newer devices is that much better. Or maybe I just got bit by the upgrade bug.

Basically so when I'm done having it manage backups, or when I want a more portable HTPC I could just grab and go with a USB stick of movies. Instead of partitioning you could install either (or both) onto USB thumb drives or SD cards and either plug in or use the BIOS to select what you want to boot from. OpenELEC works great that way. You could also install a full blown Linux distribution like Ubuntu, and run XBMC from there. I don't know what your back-up management is like but it should be able to provide all of the services FreeNAS does. Alternatively, and I've never done this, it might also be possible to do something like a full OS on the SSD (with XBMC installed), and virtualize FreeNAS. I don't know what the minimum resource requirements are, but OpenELEC will run on a RasberryPi, and I don't think FreeNAS uses much either. I might mess with it this weekend just to see how horrible it is. iceslice fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Feb 14, 2013 |

Can you be more clear on what you're trying to do? http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?8713-Dual-boot-FreeNAS-and-Ubuntu They talk about not being able to install FreeNAS on a partition/dual booting (like what you wanted), and also suggests using a USB thumb drive. Its from September of last year, so things might have changed, but I doubt it.

I have a 32gig drive that's available to me that I'm taking out of another computer. So I figured since I'd have way more space than I need, I was hoping to do two partitions. One for FreeNAS for the back system I'm putting together (going to attach a 4 bay external enclosure), and another partition for OpenELEC so I can detach that enclosure and bring the computer with me with some movies on a thumbdrive/SD card so I could have a more portable HTPC. But I guess if I can't put FreeNAS on a partition then I just won't. The reason why I'm doing this odd setup is that I am trying to buy a house or condo, so depending on the living situation in the future, I may be able to come up with a better network in the new place, so then this computer would become a full HTPC.
