Nonsense!!! Warmest month ever! ;)

It seems most of the tuners can flash the B8.5 S4 Handy and I have without removing the ECU. Even the initial flash is done through the OBDII port.

I'm still stock as well and still under warranty. I may get a little more adventurous later. I'd like to see some at home flashing options show up. There is reportedly at least one company working on that. I hope they eat the lunch of the other tuners who are relying on their old dated...

Here's what my 7" 1280x800 display looks like all mounted up in the black wood "frame" I made with the electronics on the back. Front: Back: (Click the thumbnails for larger pictures)

So, the $30 USB SPDIF device I bought doesn't work out of suspend in Linux. I hadn't tried this before. It doesn't work in OpenELEC after resuming from suspend, but there are no error messages in any logs or any signs of a problem. In contrast HDMI audio works fine out of suspend. I tried...

That's not what I got from the article. I got that the capacity of any given drive might not be the same depending on the yields, not that the drive might get larger with some update.

Merc beat you buy 3 minutes though his title is a bit more riddle like...

Can she use a computer?

Supposedly. So far there are no external boxes support UHD Netflix. Only some UHD TVs with can stream UHD Netflix directly.

I dint know what you're talking about.

I'm sure they won't miss the opportunity. Yes, but they are still too small to really see the difference in resolution from any typical seating distance, and they're crappy edge-lit LCDs.

I'm pretty sure that they're not using 2 LCDs tiled side by side like this article claims. :skepo:

I met him a few times in a business context at one of my prior jobs.

I've played around with Tag&Rename in the past. I mostly use Mp3tag now.

These went away after a few tweaks. I made a few changes to the registry of my Windows XP x64 system that runs all the time based on some information I found in a guide, and I also told OpenELEC to delay starting until the network was up. It takes a few seconds longer to start from a cold...

Whatever you do, make sure you have the keyboard near your phone's microphone when you're on conference calls so your typing can be heard very clearly by everyone. :D

That doesn't prevent other applications from starting playback? I know using Kernel Streaming on XP it most definitely would. I'm not sure about WASAPI under Windows 7.

I got to plug Yatse here. It's a remote app for XBMC, but it totally makes XBMC a compelling media playback platform via the cray level of integration it has with XBMC.

I need to revise this statement. The enclosure did not come with a CD. The Samsung SSD did and I got them mixed up in my head.

That's because they're focusing on mobile and power efficiency.

:scratch: He sure doesn't look 32. I'm glad to see the site will continue on. It tends to be my go to site for new HW reviews.

Linux or a ChromeBox?

No GTX2867R? :rambo:

Hopefully I won't be replacing the battery in my bathroom scale in the foreseeable future. For some odd reason someone decided to power the scale with a single CR2032 cell despite the fact that you could have easily put quite a few C cells inside the housing. I'm sick of having to replace the...

Why didn't you just use OpenELEC or do you need some of the OSX functionality?

I'm using this one. It seems okay so far. I'm not sure about the UASP support though. It seems Windows 7 doesn't natively support it. I didn't look on the CD that came with the enclosure to see what's on it.

What happens after 12-18 months? You start to have data integrity issues or they fail to do anything when you plug them into a PC?

Probably not as reliable as the Samsung which is a standard SSD.

Writes are faster via the eSATA interface as well. The QD32 4k writes are just as fast as the upper two with SATA II. I'm not sure why USB 3.0 is slower on that test.

What you get when you buy a "fast" USB 3.0 flash drive: (PNY 128GB Turbo USB 3.0) What you would like to get when you buy a fast USB 3.0 flash drive: (Samsung 850 Pro 128GB in USB 3.0 enclosure)

Hopefully this will help push down the prices of the smaller sizes.

I spent some time over the weekend modifying the particular screen of the skin I intend to keep up all the time. Here's where I am.

When are you getting yours?

My earlier comment may not quite be correct. After spending some quality time Googling I have a few things to look into that may allow me to work around it (or not). I'm just not a pauser unless it's for a pretty short time. I like to stop and resume at the start of the song.

So it seems XBMC doesn't work like a normal music player and I can't figure out how to make it work like one. If you queue up an album and decide to stop playback during the 5th track you can't simply hit the play button and resume playback from the start of the 5th track. You have to...

I followed the steps Matt Devo put together to install OpenELEC and I got OpenELEC 4.1.4 installed and working pretty easily. I would say OpenELEC isn't quite ready for plug and play installation on hardware by people who aren't willing to tinker a bit in Linux or do a little debugging to make...

I haven't tried any video content. The 2955U has the Quick Sync engine which is used for decoding. My understanding is that it can decode pretty much anything real time including very high bitrate UHD H.264 content. Other people were testing with 100Mbit/sec "4K" H.264 files on Chromeboxes...

Here are the missing posts of my progress from the VB5 forum: 08-09-2014, 10:05 AM: 08-11-2014, 09:19 PM 08-12-2014, 08:22 AM 08-16-2014, 11:44 PM

Is this something you really need to do or is it a random thought exercise?

This is definitely much better.

After playing around with it more, it seems like a headless XBMC setup running on a fanless low power PC with a USB coax SPDIF output controlled by the Yatse Android app might be just the music playing "appliance" I'm after.

Thanks for the help and answering my questions. Rather than ask you a bunch more questions I decided to put XBMC on my HTPC and try it out. I'm not sold on it's 10' interface for music handling. It's clearly better than simply using Windows Explorer + foobar2000, but...

Does XBMC on Android (FireTV) connect directly to a SMB share on the Windows box or do I need a server side program?

By local you mean on a USB attached HD? That's not really what I'm after. The music is on a "server" in the basement. I am okay with running some sort of "server" software on it with the appliance accessing it over wired ethernet. A NUC pretty much puts me right back to a PC. I've already...

What OS does it run? I gave the rundown for Win 7 x64 with reasonably current drivers. My music is pretty well tagged. It is also well organized into folders by Artist - Album. I have a really old first gen Roku, as in the M500. It's cumbersome to use with the size of my music library with...

Your NUC uses Intel graphics in one of the Core i_ processors right? Those definitely support 1080p24. My Haswell notebook supports 23p, 24p, 29p, 30p, 30i, 50p, 50i, 59p, 60p, 60i when plugged into my PN64F8500. Which media player would you recommend if its used primarily for playback of a...

Does your display accept 24Hz?

Merc, do any of various media player appliances you've tried support 1080p24 output from media files, or do they all play things at 60Hz only?

How can you do an Italian tune-up if you don't floor the car? :confused:

I saw Costco selling 100W 1600lm equivalent bulbs that use 15.5W over the weekend. They were $17 or $18 dollars without any utility rebates (don't remember which). They were 2700K made by Feit Electric. No mention of the CRI on the package.
