I am sure there is a simple for for this. When I installed VNC I set the screen size to be the same as my windows machine 1680x1050. But when I run it vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear. I have attached a screen shot. How can I correct this? I have tried different resolution values, but noth...

I restarted the server and am running a movie now. cpu is running between 15-30% and never gets above 50%. Memory is holding steady at about 30%. Network however is all over the place. It gets as high as 500 kib/s for short spurts and then will drop to almost 0, the back to 100 kib/s it seems to ave...

I did run the system monitor while it was streaming, The cpu usage seemed pretty low, it never got above 15%, The memory showed about 25-30% usage. I really don't understand the what numbers mean of the network throughput, so I don't have a feel for what is good or bad. What should I look for there?...

Are you accessing the video via the DLNA server when you stream from your windows desktop or are you accessing it directly? If the latter then I'm wondering whether the problem is with the re-encoding of the video rather than the network bandwidth itself. If the former, then just ignore me :lol: Ia...

Hi Larry, Unless the cable to your workshop is faulty then I don't think that would be the issue. The maximum recommend length of any cat5 run is 100 metres so 120ft is well within that. What are you streaming to? Is it up to the job? The reason I ask is one of my desktops exhibits the exact same s...

I finally got around to testing the streaming from my Dell GX280, and the results were unacceptable :thumbdown: The streams take forever to start and then when they do start there are skips, pauses and jumps. I have streamed from my windows computer perfectly. I suspect it could be either a network ...

Update: I installed Serviio on my Windows machine to see if it would work any better than all the others I have tried. I was hopeful that it would work due to it actually naming LG blu ray players in it's list of supported devices. Well good news! It worked pretty much without any "tweaking&quo...

I am planning a server building party for all me geeky friends. I am going to have snacks, drinks and music. I have gathered all the stuff I need, we are going to put the hardware together and install the OS and software. I hope to have a functioning server at the end of the evening. One guy is brin...

For me, It's all about the challenge of doing something I don't know how to do and the learning process. I like to say, "It's the journey not the destination."

I have Dell Optiplex GX280 with 512meg memory. I was wanting an opinion as to whether this is enough memory for my server. I will be using the server to stream video which will probably involve transcoding. It seems to me that I do need more memory, but I don't want to do it unless it will help perf...
