according to the manual---the sage version does not support divx. Matt's plugin never has either FWIW. Hauppauge's version transcodes it on the fly but sage will/does not at this time.

You'll have to remember that Sage hasn't charged for an upgrade since v1, while almost every other software company will make you pay for new versions... some even make you pay each year as a subscription. I myself don't mind paying for each client (I have 1 server and 3 clients right now) since I get free upgrades (for the time being anyways). |

Oh well, I guess I will have to wait on the MVP. At first I was existed that I might be able to watch my HDTV recordings (even if they are transcended to DIVX), but I do not think I will be able to do this after reading this thread. The workaround seems to be to recored the same show on HDTV and analog, which I am not interested in at this point. Maybe in the future. This product does some promising …

divx
I am not sure why or how, but somehow I was getting my divx in sage imported video files to play over the media mvp...
I stopped using the matt's mvp since I already had a normal client hooked up and it worked better over all. of course it could have been a sugar induced fantasy... mmmm cookies.. |

It sounds like from Jeffs post that there is some experimental ( Read unsupported ) code in the release that does transcoding. I have not tried it yet.

Sounds like I'll be transcoding my DVD and video collections to DivX soon. |

Im assuming you meant transcode, transcending to DivX is probably beyond the ability of most PC's - it's more theological. Sorry, not yanking your chain, it just amused me. Cheers Mark

It's the first evidence of a wireless MVP existing I have seen so far. |

Ever since it came out, people have been using it that way.

There are a few network DVD players that can act as extenders out there. One being the Link Theater.
There wont be a sage skin but when I use to follow the AVSforum on this the maker did say the menu was XML and it was skinnable. Who knows maybe matt can make a new skin for this . Also the IO data DVD player can connect to a network. I thought the link theater had the most promise the only issue I had was that it upscale all types of media except DVD and it only had composite. I hopping a DVI connection comes out in the future with upscaling DVD.

I'm glad to see that the SageTV folks have finally released official media extender support. I still think SageTV is the best commercial product available today. Unfortunately I've already switched to GBPVR and I'm not looking back. GBPVR has had MediaMVP support for some time now. With the latest release the performance has improved a great deal. The greatest thing about GBPVR is that you don't have to buy licenses to use a MVP. If something ever happens to GBPVR I'll probably take another look at Sage, but for now I'm sticking with GBPVR. Sub, the developer, has really written an excellent piece of software. Don't get me wrong though...I'm still a supporter of Sage.

Multiple MVP's
I have 2 mvp's that have been running fine with Matt's client.. when I run SageTV 4.1 I get video on one of the MVP's, but the other MVP seems to crash with color bars and is non-responsive to the RC.. I have to unplug it..
Is there a way to tell Sage how many MVP's there are?? I have purchased 2 client licenses already, so I assume I'll need to fax both of these to Sage, assuming there is a way to use multiple MVP's with the new version?? Note: Rebooting the Windows PC fixed this problem.. Both MVP's are happily running along now (I sent my client licenses in to get rid of that "TRIAL" that is floating all around my screen).. Is somebody working at Sage this weekend to get back to me on that? Last edited by Stuntman; 12-17-2005 at 10:57 PM. |

I have 3 licensed MVP clients running now - during my demo testing, though, I only had one instance installed and running. But it definitely handles multiple clients properly on my setup.
