Does/Can Serviio replace my need of a HTPC?
Hi all,
First off, thanks for enabling me to watch TV I was previously unable to through the Samsung LA32B650 inbuilt media player!
I am in the middle of spec'ing out my HTPC to get around the inability to play certain media files and for the convenience; I know the short answer to "Does/Can Serviio replace my need of a HTPC?" is yes, but I have the suspicion that the long answer would be no?
For example;
1. can I sync the video/audio (easily)?
2. can I choose which audio track when the default one is a dubbed overlay?
3. will the video be the same quality as via a dedicated HTPC on a ATI Radeon 6850?
4. will I be able to utilise my yet to be purchased home theatre sound system?
I have lots of folders at my TV but I seem unable to manage them?
BTW; could I recommend link/s to the x64 Java as I had issues with the version being x86 and had difficulties deciphering which Java version I should use from the Sun site as they all seemed to be developer installs.
Again thanks!
