@Yaazify No audio out of that generations MDP so had to do it that way. Newer models can do it fine now though.

[nyzwerewolf]

really cool bud! Thinking of getting one. Whats the model number of that keyboard you are using? Do you have to install any third party drivers for the keyboard to function? Is it IR or Wireless/Bluetooth keyboard?

@TheMacSpeaker I had the same problem with my brand new 'budget model' macbook pro. Go to Preferences -> Video's

Then switch h.264 speed boost to high.

This fixed the problems in my case.

Im playing all films of a WD Mac Studio 1tb using firewire 800

[TheMacSpeaker]

i have the late 2009 mac mini 2.26 ghz and 4gb of ram and when i [play 1080p or 720 films off Plex it lags however when using Boxee or VLC its perfect and in VLC the quality is slightly better please help\

[solobackpacking]

[GICTechTV]

is a 300n wireles good for full had movies streaming ? ? ?

and another question is it possible if i set up a linux or win server and store there all my movies for plex on mac mini ?

[xlnetwork]

Haha... that's funny. At 1:11 you plug the optical cable in and the A/V reciever get's a signal, but the Mac Mini is't connected to a powersource.The wonders of editing ;-)
