Hi. Welcome, you may want to study our codebase before asking questions, as you are making a lot of incorrect assumptions.

Yeah, sorry, wanted a quick fix.

4. We store everything in a central media database. You need to study it, as it is extremely scalable.

• I'll definitely do that before I ask anything else.
• About the DDK, if it was on the "https://www.telechips.com/kor/inc/pop_con.asp?table_name=tech_board&u_id=XYZ", there is a good chance I have it archived, I'll have to double check.
  (Just checked, I have "LinuxBSP1.6_3DMali_FB0_R2P0DEV.zip", "TCC89_92xx_ALL_3D_0.50E - Linux.pdf", "LINUX_BSP_100205-R0170B2750.tar.bz"...)
• In response to the dongle, if it did improve functionality significantly, there is a lot of room behind the right speaker I believe (maybe left), on the inside of the case, where you could solder and fasten it to.

I have a collection of 10TB+ and I bought the SmartQ V7 to replace my WD HD Media Player, which was getting unmanageable via remote control.  Was going to code it myself, but this is looking like a much more viable solution.
Thanks again, you've been extremely helpful, I'll be sure to return my gratitude in some way.


EDIT: Though that link above is dead, the downloads themselves are not. I had an old text document with a link to an actual download that is still alive.

I an absolute newb right now to the LinuxMCE project, and I have yet to receive my SmartQ V7 BUT I am very familiar with the Telechip-tcc89xx series.

Was wondering:

• Is the Telechips Linux SDK necessary to compile the SmartQ V7 orbiter software? If not how do I go about setting it up LinuxMCE on the SmartQ?
• Is Mali now supported in the lastest SmartQ Linux build?
• Have you tried using a natively supported usb wifi dongle to attempt to increase performance?
• Does LinuxMCE automatically create a database file on the "server" computer? Does it pull that the movie/tv show information automatically from the internet just once?
• Can directories be manually removed from the auto databasing feature of the LinuxMCE? Will it allow "strictly these directories/subdirectories" versus auto-add?
• Is there an upper-limit to how many files can be parsed in? Would 1000 be manageable from the SmartQ?
• Does the SmartQ switch to HDMI automatically?

I would love to help in any way possible. And thanks for your time in advance.
(Sorry for the long list, its months worth of catch up)
