I got a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 netbook with an integrated NVIDIA ION GPU for
Christmas :-) It's a 1.6GHz device which I can easily top out the CPU on,
but with DXVA support and an HDMI port it becomes an ideal low-cost HTPC
substitute for occasional viewing.
The first thing I set off to try was the
It's proably the h264 decoder of the flash player, it's quite buggy and a
bit of a cpu hog,
Good news is adobe are making it better all the time, so a lot of the early
buggyiness is gone, it's just the cpu concerns that are about,
You'll see a big cpu spike of h264 compared to the other v6 and

I can assure you that MPC (with

Well, Boxee doesn't want to fully hardware accelerate. The colourspace is
squashed, which indicates it's *trying* to use hardware acceleration (the

There's always get_iplayer.py. You can pipe the output straight into mplayer.
