Second, does MythTV support the CN400 MPEG-4 acceleration, and how
well does it work on the SP8000E?
From what I have read the MPEG-4 acceleration wasn't supported in the
Linux Drivers yet, though I could be wrong.
Third, would there be any problem playing back both music and video
from a network filesystem?
There shouldn't be, I have wireless G and it plays audio and video over
the network fine.
Fourth, is the PVR250 going to get too hot for a fanless case? I've
heard the 350 runs hot. I should only need a single encoder though,
since the EPIA board has MPEG2 playback acceleration and TV out.
I would go with PVR150 as it is cheaper and the same card. Not sure how
hot it gets.
Fifth, does the SP8000E have optical SPDIF support? I've seen some
conflicting posts.
It has a coaxial SPDIF connector on the board (that is also is
switchible to composite video out).
It also has a connector on the board for digital out, not sure if there
is an opitical connector for that or not.
I would also go for at least 512MB of memory. My machine (PIII, Gentoo)
seems to use about 450MB on average.
I'm also looking into the Epia's as frontends and building a heftier box
for backend recording/reencoding duties.
Now if I could just find a good cheap Mini-ITX case with built-in IR
that plugs into the Epia board.
