It seems like a very fast computer is needed to do a lot of the magic done by the TVersity Media Server in real-time, what about people with slower machines?
Real-Time transcoding of high quality videos indeed requires fast machines, the higher the quality of the video, the faster the machine needs to be. However videos that do not require transcoding, i.e. they are encoded in formats supported by your target device, can be played even on very slow machines disregarding their resolution or bitrate, and so the discussion here is relevant only to content not supported natively by your target deviceb. It is currently impossible to watch that kind of content on machines that are not fast enough to transcode it in real-time due to the fact that it will constantly skip. Future releases will allow this kind of transcoding to be carried out prior to the playback, such that halfway through the transcoding process you will be able to successfully play the video. The speed of your computer will only determine how long you need to wait (if at all) prior to starting the playback and not whether the video can or cannot be played. Already now you can init
