Twiin posted:Woah, that looks slick. How is it to use? I was trying to get one for a while, but it was out of stock everywhere I looked. The TiVo Slide (http://www.amazon.com/TiVoSlide-C00...=tivo+bluetooth) is a bluetooth remote that looks great, but I've never met anyone who's used it and I'm kind of hesitant about dropping 100 bucks on something that may or may not work for me.

Or the subs just weren't ripped.

Is there a home automation megathread somewhere?

I have a Zotac AD10 (Windows 7, so I can run emulators) running the Frodo RC and it's a piece of crap. I haven't used it as a media center since I bought it, but when I went to try it last night, it was just an exercise in frustration. My movies are all jerky -- around 1 fps -- and the audio doesn't work at all. I asked about the audio before and tried the passthrough solution someone suggested but it didn't help. I've also tried both fullscreen window and true fullscreen -- no difference. Any ideas?

Keito posted:wut That's not what I'd heard. Everyone has been saying to go OpenElec EXCEPT if you want to do emulation. Keito posted:Why would you still be running an RC when 12.1 has been out for a month or so already? The RC was what was out when I set up the HTPC. I don't have internet at home right now. Keito posted:I don't know about your other problem, but make sure you've got hardware decoding enabled in the settings if playback is horrible. It is. -.-

evilalien posted:It would also help to know the codec details of what you are having trouble playing. Some stuff like 10-bit H264 can't be hardware decoded and will typically play like poo poo on underpowered hardware. Anything. I can't play a single video in XBMC. They all play fine in WMP or MPC. Edit: I may as well hold off on the griping until I get an internet connection again so I can install the latest version of XBMC.

Is there any reason not to run OpenElec from a USB stick instead of a hard drive? Right now I have a SSD in my AD10 but with OpenElec, it feels like a waste.

Ixian posted:I use the official one (or, at least it's been around so long it might as well be) which is in the XBMC repo under subtitles. You can set it up to work with several different sites, languages, etc. Works great for me. I tried it when it first came out and it was a huuuuge disappointment. I used to get subtitles that had completely different timings or were for different cuts of the movie. Has it gotten more accurate now?

Isn't the RPi down to $80 or something?

The pHo posted:So it works decently... despite the fact it crashes, it might not work above 720p, wireless is useless and it constantly buffers if you have your video on LAN? That sounds like loving unusable garbage to me. Yeah... if I were trying to watch a movie in my precious free time and it kept crashing on menus, it would be going out the window very quickly.

You don't need a SSD for any of the Zotacs.

What's the best option out there for playing blu ray discs and DVDs in XBMC without ripping them first? OpenElec doesn't seem to be able to do it, so I guess my other two options are XBMC on Ubuntu or Windows. Or should I just give up on integrating it and go for a separate blu ray player?
