Re: Which Media Center ?

[Simon Ryley <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using v0.96.12 for no other reason than I haven't had time to
upgrade recently.  In this version, there is a page in the Config
application that lets you chose between VMR9, VMR7, and overlay.
Before I built a dedicated media pc, I had to use overlay on my original
desktop pc with basic graphics.  Overlay with minimal OSD selected is an
acceptable alternative to VMR9 that should work on almost all video
hardware.

Let us know how you get on,

Simon
