AIR and Win10

[hk6230]

FYI, I have nothing playing (running) on my NUC beside RoonServer with AIR-ETH on. I'm not using any anti-virus software on my NUC, too. I control my Roon via my Win Tablet. Come to think of it, I should turn off auto-update on Win10, too.

Rarely, but it happens, AIR may stutters (hesitating). All I need to do is just cycle through my source (pressing the source button on Devialet remote) back to AIR-ETH and issue solved. As I said, this is very rare.

Just like to share my experience and hopefully, you guys can find a solution to your AIR problem.

Excellent post HK!  It is always good to read about peoples solutions, rather than always about the problems.  The cycling through the sources is an interesting tip, I always tend to start / restart AIR, but I guess cycling through the sources does exactly the same thing, although I guess you need to set AIR to automatically stream.

I did have a slightly crazy idea the other day, which was to get a NUC with Windows 10, together with a wireless touch screen monitor.  This would give me a dedicated music playing machine, with a full size touch screen display that could be positioned anywhere.  Yes, I know I could use it "headless" with an iPad or similar, but I like the idea of having the full size display with touch screen.  Does anyone know if this is possible?  I don't see why not, but there might be a subtlety that I' missed?

Yes, I have set to "Always stream to it automatically”.

As for your goal of a full size wireless monitor, this can be a bit tough. Key being the NUC needs power cabling, so not as portable as you may hope. I believe the largest Android tablet is 15.6-inch. Maybe this may serve your need. But, having too large a screen size will definitely too heavy to carry it around for long period of time. I still think a 10' or smaller tablet (IOS/Android/Win) will be an ideal remote.
