So it won't drop/dupe frames?

- i5 NUC
- 2x4gb Crucial
- 60gb Intel MSATA
- Openelec Nightly 16808
- Onkyo HT-RC160
- Sony KDL-52XBR9
- Harmony 890 w/ RF
I realize the NUC hardware is slightly overkill for Openlec, but I figured I may want to dual boot some day. Here's the status:
The good:
- Overall, production (wife) ready
- Starts up with remote just fine <6-7sec
- Plays Blu-ray vc-1 remuxes, 1080p h.264s, and all other modern content just fine
- Passthru for all audio codecs working well.
- Very responsive to the remote, even over the RF bridge. No unnecessary repeats
- Shutdown from the remote DOES work natively. This is the Harmony "Power Toggle" associated with a generic Windows Media Center PC. Seems to do exactly as the button on the top does; gracefully shuts down openelec and powers off. I used no fixes to support this beyond the autostart remote fix.
The okay:
- Did the autostart remote fix on the post 1, worked well
- 1080i TS mpeg2 content is a bit blocky
- Needed to add a 4sec delay between AV receiver start up and NUC start up with the Harmony remote in order for Openelec/NUC to detect the display and chose the right resolution.
The bad:
- Shutdown from the GUI does not work
Also worth noting that I did not muck with any rendering settings -- basically the default took it. Colors, including black levels look good and there seem to be no skipped frames. Actually not to sure what decoder is being used.

Do you use any delay (in Openelec or Harmony) settings? My Harmony touch doesn't respond as snappy as I thought it would...
My harmony smart control is instant now, make sure you've selected "Microsoft Media Center Extender" as the device.

Speed, delay etc. all default?
Do you also use MCE keyboard for extra mappings?
