Hi

Hope some one can answer this question i have spent a little time googling to no avail.

i want to run Mce as a server with upto 3 extenders. but currently the extenders available dont meet my requirments.

1/ is there a way of running a second pc custom built as an extender.

also has any one managed to either Install/run Mce from Flash card or PXE Boot it from the server?

Any insite would be a great help thanks in advance.

You can't build a PC based extender, the extender software will only run on specific harware. Here are some examples of what is required:

CPU/GPU: ATI Xilleon X225

WMV Decoder: Analog Devices ADSP-BF532SKBCE10

DRM Mangement: Atmel AT90SC3232CS

Ethernet: RealTek RTL8139C (or later)

WiFi: Intersil/Globespan ISL39200 or Atheros AR5004X

With these requirements there is not that much room for customization so all the extenders look very simular.

Ffs typical why dont these guys ever actually do some research before they relese this stuff it would be nice to have a dvd drive for starters i dont wanna rip a dvd every time i rent one just to watch it on my extender

ho hum onto media portal see if it can be done there failing that its mythtv here we come thx anyway
