[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1139614, member: 215446"] Sometimes people ask for a neumoDVB version running under windows, but that will never be made. However, it may be possible to run neumoDVB in a virtual machine. The virtual machine runs linux. It is installed on windows. You can then use neumoDVB under window. For this to work, the virtual machine software and the PC must support "PCI express passthrough" and "intel VTD". Modern PC hardware typically can handle this, but you need enough memory (preferably 16Gbyte, but 8 can work as well) Has anyone ever tried this? Myself, I have already tried running a KVM machine on a linux computer. The linux computer runs fedora on the hardware and the KVM virtual machine runs another type of linux. I use this to test if the software runs on ubuntu, which I normally don't use. I have no PCs running windows and on windows you will probably need to use another type of virtual machine software, but in principle it should be possible. If that works, then it would be possible to run neumoDVB on windows. It is a bit tricky to configure: you need to enable VT-D in the bios, and then in the VM software also indicate which card(s) should be attached to the VM machine, but once setup it works well.
