My media pc is getting worse. Now it won't read some double layer blurays. Am I cooked?
#bluray #mediapc #opticalmedia
I know I'm dreaming, but my dramas with my media pc have led to me thinking about building another machine with a more robust setup.
Does anyone know of a machine that is:
a. Small (like, mini-itx small)
b. Fanless, or super quiet
c. has a 3.5" drive bay
I'll probably run Linux, because [โฆ]
So the bd drive in my mediapc doesnt work anymore, i hope its just my wack ass windows 7 installation and not the actual drive cause that would be horrible.

Phycical buttons for launching and slso switching off several music visualizers (Arduino solution)
#mp3 #mediaPC #diy #modding
I have physical buttons for each of listed above. If not running - launches, if is running - closes. Logic by "Event Ghost". Buttons hardware on Arduino, acts like custom USB keyboard.
Player-agnostic music visualizers for Windows PC
Absolutely no one: ...
Me: player-agnostic visualizers, you say? Well, these days I use: "R4", "Plane9", "Morphyre", "WhiteCap".

Sorry for almost no-sound, it is night here. Testing new touch monitor where intended. Of course, I can swap around and use it for larger visualizers, I will.
If unfamiliar - player is "AIMP", it has many Hi-Fi skins.

A new "toy" for my audio-visual shenanigans (search for PLISC, TechnicsPC to see some previous), 18,5" touch monitor. I took this particular size because physical width is very close to my beloved 430mm #HiFi components width.

Scrolling text in "Technics" tuner case (just front panel actually)
#Electronics #HiFi #MediaPC #MP3 #player #DIY #music
So, you know my previous doings on "TechnicsPC" pseudo-deck player, and then add-on with DVD/CD reader, card reader, and small info display. Decided to make another add-on, scrolling text. Planned again to use thin tuner case, but (cont.)...

Scrolling LED text, showing current playing track info. Basically works as intended, except needs "a voodoo dance around the fire" at each AIMP player start. Opened a question on forums, hope all gets solved)

Here it is, "LCD Smartie" test in its "natural environment" (sound "on", I guess):

My "unnecessary addon" for "TechnicsPC" is shaping up, I added SD cards reader (now it has SSD slot, DVD/CD drive, card reader). Might look not much, but it took some effort to get it there. "How was done" pics will be in replies.

Media mp3 player in Technics HiFi deck case. With addon containing dvd/cd drive and removable ssd.
#HiFi #modding #Electronics #DIY #htpc #MediaPC #mp3 #player
Prototyping an "extension component" for my "Technics-PC". Non-essential, optional. Will have DVD/CD drive, removable SSD, and-aa... I will think of something more to put in there.

My current foolin' aroundies, thinking, experimenting:
Custom media PC in Technics double tape deck case. Two 7" touchscreens, and physical control buttons.

Volume encoder is now mounted. Placement is not ideal, but can't move it higher because of HDMI connector, and I really do not want to re-solder HDMI connector ๐ฌ(I already moved USB connector from side to the back side).

Labeled play controls buttons are in place now. Looks like I still have a small free space above those, will try to put output level ("volume") encoder there.

Update on my "TechnicsPC", "TechniPC". Found such buttons already labeled (bottom one in my case "minimize/restore". Most likely will change unlabeled ones to those:
Testing #visualizations on-off switching with button. Just one now (it is Plane9, great free visualizer). Program "EventGhost" manages launching and closing. Buttons connected #Arduino Pro Micro that acts as custom USB keyboard.

Testing physical buttons in place (Arduino Pro Micro as a couple-of-keys USB keyboard). While not very needed (have touchscreens, and there is a remote too), I just like clicka clicka buttons ๐.

How it started - How is it going
What do you know - first tests already! It went kinda fast (within this one day) because all insides migrated from my previous FakeDeck, everything at once, like some big module.
