http://wiki.zenega-user.de/index.php?title=Hauptseite</a>). The problem was<br>that the integrated SCART-Connector won't work with my<br>CentOS-Installation and the special driver from Intel (IEGD-Driver).<br>Recently I wrote on this list for help, but it seems that nobody has
<br>experiences with this Client because of no answers.<br><br>So I decided to move to another Client-Hardware, therefore I'm now<br>searching one.<br><br>I found a lot of articles and websites about possible candidates, but
<br>also I found a lot of problems.<br><br>What I need is an Client-Hardware like the S100 with the following<br>requirements:<br><br>- no fans in the case (power supply and prozessor)<br>- ideal-proves with scart-connector (working under linux)
<br>- USB2.0 Connector for a System on a USB-Stick (bootable from USB)<br>- ideal-proves with remote control (the s100 had a remote control, which<br>emulated a keyboard)<br>- network-connector (10/100Mbit)<br>- a easy to install client with no problems by the SCART/Video-Out
<br><br>So the Hardware of the S100 is ideal for mythfrontend and it is also<br>very cheap. It's a pity.<br><br>What have you in use as frontend? Please check the above written<br>hardware requirements and if they fit, please write.

<div>Markus,</div>

<div>Yes from that wiki the S100 looks great for an SD front end.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have you tried looking at the Hauppauge MediaMVP (aka mvpmc)? It fullfills most</div>
<div>of your requirements apart from USB connnectivity (and it won't play anything other than MPEG1/2 without server transcoding).</div>
