Newbie HTPC builder in need of help - RookieLinux - 2009-10-01
Im another Newbie to the scene.
I just purchased a
Zotac Ion 330.
I have 4GB Ram on it.
I am trying to get it to play 1080p x.264 via my home network. .
Heck Id be happy if I could get it to play 720p x.265 without "fluttering" (Slight lag skips)
I tried it on Windows 7 with the Windows XBMC. No Go.
I got my buddy to help me with trying to do it with Ubuntu v9.04 (Cause I am clueless with Linux) and we could not get it to play right. Still had skips and sound was not syncing. We followed a lot of how to on this forum in Ubuntu to no avail. Are we missing something in cmos?
I am absolutely lost.
I read on this forum in MANY places that this is the board to buy and use for a HTPC.
ANY help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
RookieLinux

Try with XBMC Live, that should work out of the box.
