      Streaming Video

      Well I downloaded Mezzmo and installed it . The video files that streamed from my windows7 laptop (WMP) streamed easily via mezzmo, video files that are on my laptop and won't stream to the hummy via WMP transcoded on the fly and played on my hummy; stuttering ie transcoding is slow ( mkv to...

      another point, maybe when you play to your toshiba the file you are playing may not need transcoding as the tosh is capable of playing the native file on your pc. The hummy will need files transcoded to a format that it can play ie.ts, hence the delay when you use the hummy

      Can't say I really understand your problem, the hummy will only play what you are giving it so if its not getting any info from your network it can't play anything, also this from the Mezzmo specs Powerful format support and transcoding: All popular video, audio and image file formats are...

      Its probably that your network connection is not fast enough or the transcoding is slow . The Hummy can only play what it's being given

      Custom Portal - Can I do this?

      I use liveonlinefooty and display it on my tv via hdmi port from my laptop . The picture is really good as is the streaming. I asked a long time ago if this could be incorporated into the portal, which would be ace, but was told the subscription thing really screws it.

      4.3 Ratio Ch4 HD

      there will be an upconverter in the transmission path that passes hd progs but upconverts normal sd prodgrams. These sd progs could already be widescreen or 4:3. Someone will have made the decisions on how these 4:3 signals are handled . Crop top and bottom and make them 16:9 or even compromise...

      Simpsons is transmitted 4:3 on my tv
    9. B

      4.3 Ratio Ch4 HD

      that's because the simpsons was made 4:3 if you want to stretch it set your tv to auto not original. Most tv companies compromise the transmission ie cut the top and bottom off to give a 16:9 picture but with cartoons it's not possible so they transmit as they were made

      Cheap media streamer - any suggestions?

      Just to clarify, you don't need an iPad to use rasperry pie. There is an app available to allow an ipad to work with it, from what i can gather a rasberry pie with xbmc installed should talk directly to your Hummy. Can't wait to get hold of one to have a try

      Cheap media streamer - any suggestions?

      So if i was to ask were's the cheapest place to buy a hummy, you wouldn't tell me and more importantly block anyone from telling me. If I was advertising my company that would be something else. People are asking for advice and are being pointed towards good deals, what's wrong with that ?
