Bugs when running multiple apps which use HDMI

A lot of your favorite shows and movies are already available on the Internet and your NAS. Boxee is a device that finds them and puts them on your TV. It's easy to use and even better, there's no monthly fee.

Bugs when running multiple apps which use HDMI

Post by chritcal »

Is there an official recommendation that one should only have 1 app which uses the HDMI port installed at a time?

I noticed that Boxee/iTunes server/SoundsGood interfere with each other when they are installed at the same time.

For example: I have Boxee installed and it runs fine (apart from all the known bugs...)
Then I install the iTunes server and Boxee stops reacting (no output on the HDMI port), even though the iTunes server has not been used yet.

My goal is to have Boxee and the iTunes server running at the same time (of course, only 1 of them being used at the same time!) but it just doesn't seem to work.

Any reaction @ Asustor?

Sad to see that Asustor obviously couldn't care less.

What happens if you enable iTunes sever before boxee?
Currently Asustor are working on an XBMC app for the 6 series and the handling of this May be different?

I actually tried Boxee and iTune on my AS-604T at the same time. Both Apps are working correctly, except iTune audio plays abnormally when I switch audio mode to Dolby in Boxee. Video display are working fine. Not sure about your condition. It's better that you send a support request to asustor. They should be happy to check your condition. I contacted to them before for other issue. Their response is fast.

I hope XBMC will be available soon, because I think it's useless to put effort into a dead horse (that is boxee).
