Okay, my windows system is up and running.
I THINK I have DDS art enabled now... not sure.
its running a small system (ER1401)... streaming from an unraid server via a powerplug or sometimes wifi if i move it to another room.
the most i play is 720p blueray rips using hardware acceleration.
Are there any tips from seasoned windows users to:
a) make menus more smoother and load the background images quicker (theres a 1sec delay ATM). same with fanart really..
b) make video playback a bit better?
right now i've just gone with the driver for nvidia window gave me.
ive disabled aero...
im streaming from my unraid server using windows SMB shares.
i heard some suggestions:
1) install combined community codec pack - is this a good thing to do? I do watch anime or atleast plan to on the machine.. will this really help xbmc? someone told me of divx hardware accel
2) disable UAC
3) Disable Windows Search Indexing.
