What's the CPU and the board in there? Is there integrated graphics
that could be used?
It's an old system: HP Compaq dc5800 MT, 2x Core2Duo e8200 @2.66 GHz,
7.7 GiB Ram, VGA and HDMI outputs. I rarely use the nVidia hardware
decoding and use an Android TV player (mythleanfront) for best quality
video.
This new problem is a puzzle, but at present not a gamechanger.
Thanks,
