MyMovies Videos Running on HD300

[PLUCKYHD]

Here are a couple of quick (low quality) videos I shot showing some different views of SageMyMovies running on the new hd300 from Sagetv.

The quality is terrible I show one of a full wall basic view and list view

Here is one of wall view with none full wall and fanart on as poster view (as you can tell wall is really fast with only 2 rows.)

Again I apologize for the poor video shot with iphone 4 aiming up at a tv so not the easiest process.

I think a tripod or chair or ladder to lean the iphone against would have been your friend:D

After the recent update SMM is just too slow to be usable on my antique HD100. I'm thinking about buying an HD300 to replace it. Has anyone tried SMM on it? I'm curious about the speed improvements over the HD100 and 200.

since this was moved guess I don't need to reply. Except I know many users on the hd100 that are happy with overall performance. I did nothing in the latest build that would have effected anything.

[jptheripper]

yes i use the hd100, 1350 movies, dual core 2.7ghz amd server , and performance is just fine.

Not mindblowing, but certainly above acceptable, even to the wife.

Man I am going to take those down now.....you guys are hard on a guy :p

Hey, there's a reason I haven't posted any videos of my own...

Back OT though, that would definitely "Hold a candle" IMO to the client.

Thanks for posting the low res video. It looks like the HD-300 is significantly faster than the HD-200, and is worth the upgrade to the HD-300. I assume you are seeing response times several times faster. To actually compare it with your system, you'd have to post another low res video doing similar things with your HD-200.

Yeah, then do the same thing on an i3.. :-)

[PLUCKYHD]

Well yeah I said it doesn't hold a candle to a good client I mean look at the other videos I made ;)

I know, just had to remind others that the HD300 isn't everything.. just the new kid on the block.. :-)

I hate NKOTB :bang: Oh wait I misread. LOL

It is if you don't want headache of messing with codecs and buying blu ray software it sure is ;) and sorry but a client still uses way more power and when you have 5 extenders like I do that matters a bit as well.

I tried a client and had nothing but trouble getting hd audio in sagetv. I did finally get it working somewhat but not reliable.

Also someone said they built a client for $250.. I don't buy that not with a windows liscene, ir reader, ir remote and blu ray playback software. I can nearly get 3 extenders for what it cost me to build one client.

Right, personally I don't care about power, but noise I do, as well as reliability. PC clients just can't hold a candle to the combination of ease of setup/use, form factor, noise level, and price of the extenders. I gave up my PC client with the HD100 and have no desire to go back.

Also extenders have high WAF

Nah, my wife hates the MVP...

Pluckyhd, thanks for posting the videos. Did you have poster fade enabled? It's hard to tell if you had that effect turned on or not. I'm curious what resource does the poster fade effect eat up. If it's LAN bandwidth/latency, then it probably wont make much of a difference between the HD-200 and HD-300 since they both are limited to 100based t.

No you will not be able to run poster fade on any extender. It is not latency or any of those issues just the fact the CPU in extenders can't fade in any faster. The hd300 is faster at it than the hd200 bit that effect was never meant for extenders.
