hardware platform you developing UMS program
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 1:34 am
Dear Developers,
Nowhere is any info which are minimum, good or the best hardware requirements for UMS. You as developers have the best knowledge how code works and which hardware component is the most important.
Please advice what specific is fine for server comp with UMS to stream HD quality to TV over LAN.
1. System: 32 or 64 bit? Windows or Linux?
2. I believe that CPU is important - so which one is enough and can handle streaming HD? AMD / INTEL - one core, dual core or ... ?
Any special requirement for motherboard?
3. What abut RAM - 2 GB is fine or we need more?
4. VGA - do we need powerfully VGA? Or transcoding is on CPU level and we can have any VGA for example build in motherboard. We steam over LAN, so eave monitor is not neccassy if we connect remote to server.
I'm looking for your advice. I would like to transcode over Lan FullHD movies to my Samsung PS51D6900 TV. And this comp will be dedicated only for this (and for FTP share).
At the moment I have installed UMS in version 6.1.0 on my old desktop, on Linux Ubuntu 14.04LTS system 32bit with below hardware I have:
RAM 2GB
Proc: AMD Athlon(tm) 64x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
VGA: GeForce6800 GTS
HDD SataII WD 500G
LAN speed 100GB
My problem is very often movie is paused on TV and have to wait to start. When I check on comp what is going on, both CPU cores are 100%. In Buffer in UMS, when I stop movie, it slowly increasing but when I run movie, is consumed very fast. And than again movie is paused.
Thank you
