7illusions 1249 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 The surface rt can play mkv videos at 1080p with hardware cceleration. Is it possible to stream without transposing? This is a nice app. The surface is such a nice product, better than my iPad. No, at the current state that is not possible. Maybe that will change later depending on what happens on the server side.

dgotiear 0 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Do your movies play through the web interface, it may be a transcoding issue. yes they do, they play on the roku client, MBT alpha, mb Classic and web client but not this one

godbodian 57 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Is it just because the app is a Dev Beta that it cannot be set to the taskbar (not Metro view or the start menu) or is it an actual omission?
SilentAssassin 96 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Is it just because the app is a Dev Beta that it cannot be set to the taskbar (not Metro view or the start menu) or is it an actual omission? It's a true Windows 8 app, not a program like Media Browser Theatre. You don't get that functionality with Apps.

godbodian 57 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Are there going to be Chapters and chapter related information? Or will all the playback button functionality be restricted to music files and music playback?

ernstgot 17 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Another feature, can we have saved server settings, that way I could have two saved setting, one for inside my LAN and one for external connection. When going into the changer server option they would both be listed to click on. From what I've played with it have not found any bugs. Brilliant app. Just need a new server now that can keep up with the transcoding of my media, it only a P4, good enough to serve files, not to transcode. Be nice for external connection but would have to have the ability to tell the server to transcode the video.
swhitmore 781 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Be nice for external connection but would have to have the ability to tell the server to transcode the video. All video is transcoded in this app.

The problem is resolved, I must have something else wrong, Installed the beta and win 8.1 on my other HTPC C2Q Q6600 and the install was flawless and I have full play back of all media, Utilizing splash top with a tablet to utilize the touch features and we are up and running, Good build

Armand 21 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 is it possible to disable transcoding ? I want to play all files directly from the network shares for better performance and i don't want to bother my server with transcoding content for regular Window 8.1 clients on my home network.
Luke 42077 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Armand, great to see you on here. I know his next version is going to do everything possible to avoid transcoding. I'm not sure what additional control will be offered but now is probably the time to put your request in. Any news on you becoming a regular on our team?
