Will the Linux MC run on ARM-based processors?

<< < (5/6) > >>

ShirazD:
hmm... i do want fanless AND hdmi. the Pi can do it because of the high end integrated graphics... surely there's something like that in an Intel processor mini

csimon:
There are indeed some fanless, low-power mini PCs around, depends how much you want to pay though!

Google for Intense PC, Fit PC and Tiny Green PC.

I have a Core i7 Intense PC with SSD to run MC - it cost a bomb but it does do 1080p and has extremely low power consumption.  It was an extravagance!

@csimon, I had previously looked at the intense PCs, in part because they look super cool design-wise and you can get them in an i7.  Can you use ROHQ with yours?  If so, what settings (upscaling, etc.) do you use?

csimon:
I'm still playing around with ROHQ.  It's not quite working, but there are lots of variables that you can alter (in the normal MC options even, not madvr).  It's certainly fine on RO Standard and I had it working originally but in my messing around with ROHQ I think I've not put something back correctly and every so often, about once every 15 seconds, I get a slight "judder" even in RO Std.

I wasn't able to pin down which setting affects what. Being in Theater View as opposed to Standard View seems to affect it, together with the "automatically adjust frame rate" options.  Setting the video card option to Automatic, Low, Medium or High didn't seem to affect anything at all.

I had it working at one point without any judder in ROHQ but there was a lip-sync issue. I couldn't get judder free ROHQ working with proper lip-sync - it was one or the other!

I'm convinced it should handle it though, it's just a question of finding the right configuration. To be perfectly frank though, I couldn't really detect any difference between ROSTD and ROHQ...

Thanks very much, that told me what I needed to know about the intense PCs (ROHQ is still a maybe).  I personally couldn't tell a difference between ROStd and ROHQ with the default settings myself.  But once I got a video card that could do the more intensive algorithms (Lanczos, Jinc, etc.) I saw a pretty clear difference, so I'll probably need to wait for the next gen intense PCs as the new Intel HD 4600 can allegedly run Lanczos.
