Thanks for the update. I gather from you that the Acer X2 does not have a HDMI outlet which blows my theory above out of the water.
I presently have no idea why the combination of this 64-bit Quirky based Pup and your vesa connected
AMD with onboard Nvidia chip is an unhappy marriage giving both problematic sound and video.
You are best sticking with the Intel. Thanks though for persevering and testing.
@ALL
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Print Server:
If running a DLNA server such as this one, it may well be that it will be on 24/7 and it makes sense to
attach a USB printer to it and also run it as network print server. It is advisable to first give this Pup a static I/P.
Forum member rcrsn51's superb P910nd Print Server utility is already included in this Pup for that purpose.
Code: Select all
p910nd_print_server_64bit-0.97|p910nd_print_server_64bit|0.97||System|88K|
to it from both XP & Precise 5.4.3
The thread and instructions can be found here:

HTTP Server: (Python is already installed)
Another great utility also by rcrsn51 is his SimplePythonHTTPServer-1.1.pet (13.19KB)

In the context of this Pup the share folder should be set as below so that the contents of the targeted media
repository become available not only to the TV but within the browser of every PC on the Lan be they running Windows or Linux.
Within the browser you would target http://192.168.1.3:8000 (Use the static IP that you assign)
When the repository contents appear in the browser bookmark it then rename the bookmark to "Repository".
Browsers will play or display any format they can handle such as mp4.
If they cannot display or play the file they will download it and you can then play/view it with another app.
