HP ProLiant MicroServer

Openelec is like a mistress. She's fun; she's new; she'll do things that all the others won't do. But she'll still schit you out once a month for no apparent reason whatsoever...

A lot cheaper to maintain though ;)
 
Being linux illiterate myself, is there an EASY way of making a PS3 remote work with XBMCbuntu. Like via addon - dont understand this linux programming.

i think the xbmc has an addon
remember reading somewhere about it, not sure how easy it is to set up
 
Regarding running headphones from the microserver which without a dedicated soundcard, lacks a 3.5mm jack.

Just got my USB soundcard from Dx.com R23. Plug and play on windows. Will see how it works on openelec when I get home.

Quality and volume is as good as the built in sound on my PC. So for me it will be good enough.
 
Since we are on sound, which USB sound card do you guys use/recommend for s/pdif. All I need it to do is pass through DTS and Dolby digital (AC3) to my receiver.
 
My system just stopped working yesterday. It now just hangs before the Openelec splash logo. Well it doesn't hang - Openelec just doesn't load. Piece of crap. Gotta go the entire reinstallation route now...

happened to me as well

decided to install on the same flash again without formatting
plugged it back in again and everything was working like before - settings, themes etc

so give it a try
 
Will give it a try later. If not then I might just give it to my gardener as a bench stool instead...
 
Nah - I can't get internet access on to Openelec because it doesn't support my WIFI card...

I think this statement pretty much indicates than openelec aint for your application. My big love about it is how well all the networking stuff integrates and works...

All I have is a WiFi connection that is shared with the neighbour (because of Telkom's ineptitude). Therefore if the machine can't connect to the network then I have to somehow distribute that wireless connection (from the next door neighbour's property) via a wired connection somehow.

Ah well. The dongle I have does not work. I've configured the network in openelec to talk on wan and disabled the second channel (because openelec doesn't work properly with them both on apparently) and used all of the correct settings. I can see the dongle flash but it just never connects.

Connects to the switch perfectly fine btw...

You could get a wireless AP that supports client-mode.
Which version of openelec are you running, and what dongle do you have?
 
DJ... said:
Yay. More technical nonsense to get this thing working...:D



The beta iirc (yes, I know, I know)...



A white one...

The reason I asked which version was cos the beta has more network hardware support ;) As to the white dongle, there's your problem. It's racist ;)
