Quoting Jon 'maddog' Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
From Koolu's Technical Director:
720p and 1080i will make the box melt. As it stands, it is 480p, also
known as DVD resolution (ie: not HDTV). That takes the processor
70-90%, I don't think we can go higher resolution than that. All the
decoding was done on the front end of the unit (ie: on the Koolu box
and not on the server).
It was a reasonable question, and I will try to have that clarified on
the web site so people will know.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Okay.. So not what I'm looking for, yet. Too bad. A note to the
technicals there: If you could install an NVIDIA graphics device with
XvMC <http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC> then you might be able
to actually get HD decoding on your device. It would be REALLY COOL
to have an HDTV-capable device Myth Frontend!
Ah well, back to more research to find my HD MythFrontend hardware.
