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.
I think LinPVR may have some provisional support for it but I haven't
gotten any answers back about it. I'd hope that this would be
backported soon if it hasn't been already. :)
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.
I'm not sure if any of the cases have built-in IR, but check idotpc.com
-- that's where I've purchased all my Epia hardware in the past (one
RAID1 file server and one light-duty server for a BBS).
