HDMI Auto Sync

The upcoming beta release of the CFULLHDMA has HDMI Auto Sync.

This means following: if you have a TV supporting EDID you see the available resolutions of your TV. When playing video the CFULLHDMA will detect what is the frame rate and will adjust the screen resolution accordingly.

In above image you see the resolution at 60Hz. We start a movie with 24Hz and than we get the folowing resolution seen on the TV

(you will see the loading icon, the screen will adjust, loading icon will disappear, than re-appear and the TV will show th 24hz)

As seen in the image below

Comedytrain in Apeldoorn 10 december 2008

Vanavond even heerlijk in het theater geweest in Apeldoorn. Comedytrain. met de MC Roué Verveer (Deed het als MC goed en had leuke dingen. Die zien we in Februari weer. Jandino Asporaat was in het begin een beetje onduidelijk (Antiliaan, kan ie zelf ook niets aan doen) maar toen ik daar eenmaal aan gewend was had ie een hele mooi korte voorstelling. Je ziet ons terug In januari ;-)

Lebbis (Hans Sibbel) mocht het als oude rot afmaken en was erg sterk. Kort en krachtig en erg goed inspelend op het nieuws. 2 andere gastjes te weten Emilio Guzman (zwak begin, mooi midden, sterk einde), en Stefan Pop waren nummer 3 en 1 (Stefan moest het publiek opwarmen, maar ik vond um niet zo erg sterk).

Al met al een dik anderhalf uur genoten van de Comedytrain in Apeldoorn

Update: datum aangepast.. ah ah .. dank je Rick !

CFULLHDMA: beta 1.11.21

Ok, it took me long hours debugging why in certain situations the mounting of Samba Shares was failing. In short: not many users whould have seen this bug. Only in certain configuration setups like the one I am using myself. But enough reason for me to tell everyone on the beta list not to use it unless you are willing to suffer the issue not be able to mount.

Afer finding and analyzing the issue

Back from business trip

No updates the last few days. I was away for a business trip somewhere in sunny France. We took the Thalys and the TGV (and Metro) .. Quick and easy.

Meanwhile I am home again so a quick update. Tomorrow I’ll check if I have more things to tell yes/no. Now we close the notebook. Working day ends.

Redesigning Study Room

Today we redesigned the study room which is our control room. The HiFi installation, the PC’s, the Notebook, the Server .. (around 4 UTP connections are in the wall so short cables is the only thing we need).

The server was moved to the livingroom (yeah, we have UTP there as well) on Saturday. Around 16.00h Sunday we moved it back to the study again. No downtime .. the UPS is alive ;-) About 1 or 2 minutes 20 seconds no network activity. It’s patched through a main connection to the main switch so no extra switches are used.

A little geeky but if it’s working, it is working great.
