Hi, I'm wondering if passing through a video stream and overlaying it with some Chrome needs less CPU power compared to rendering a video stream from a video file that is being received over WiFi. This device is the first device I've seen that includes this form of HDMI passthrough. Cheers, hepi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Anything but videos IMHO means: Web pages, photos, rss news, its own OSD. So IMHO it's not meant to be used as a video player / video streaming device like - for example these upcoming devices: http://dune-hd.com/news/183-dune-hd-tv-101-301.html Cheers, hepi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
