If you want to use PDVD for playback of UHD BDs, the MB (chipset) and CPU must fulfill the SGX requirements from Intel. Afaik only Z170 or higher chipset can do this. For this reason I bought a Fatal1ty MB because my old MB did not have this feature. As this HTPC is obviously made for UHD disc playb...

Yes, the case is for microATX at max. As it is a slim case the power unit is lying horizontally therein and only low-profile cards fit into. I don’t remember anymore where I bought the case, but their origin was Korea. I had some of them many years ago, but kept only one. The other ones I sold as as...

That's a nice design case as well. The price would be really interesting. HDMI is specified as 2.0, so it should work to play UHD BDs, but I wonder about the chipset B360? As far as I know only Z170 or higher allow UHD disc playback.

Hi HTPC enthusiasts, As suggested by Paul I would like to give some hints for making CMC and a HTPC even more comfortable. I also got inspired to introduce my HTPC by other posts in this section of the forum. What I really like on my HTPC is how I can operate it with my remote control. This requires...

Hi Paul, I have already checked that the settings screen (which supports mouse) can be touch-controlled on my tablet. Therefore not only for mouse devices but also for touchscreen devices this would be a cool feature 8-) Today I have posted another request "Regarding Online Services" where...

I support the idea to have a shutdown option in the exit menu.
As discussed in this thread there are several ways to shutdown the system, but it depends on settings and devices. On my HTPC I autostart into CMC, and I would love to shut down from CMC. thanks

Hi Paul, Beside the streaming service for premium contents as requested in the thread "Amazon Prime, Netflix, iTunes", it would be great to have an integration of “standard” contents as e.g. provided by the mediathek (media center) of a TV channel. Some of these mediathek have a Win10 app,...

same here...

Thanks for the hint! This works for me.
Although it was a bit tricky to find the startup folder in Win10, I could do it without tutorial
