Forum: XBMC – Linux

Hi ! I've got a few 720p mkv files with AC3 sound. My box is hooked up via analog to a stereo amplifier, setting is "downmix multichannel audio" (or whatever the exact wording is). Problem: the audio is majorly distorted and at a ridiculously high level. Unwatchable. Audio with stereo...

Hi all ! Posted a similar question on the xbmc forums but had no reply so far so thought I'll try here. I'm looking for an equivalent to "jump point" in mythtv. To explain: I've got a button setup on my remote that takes my straight into mythmusic and starts playing the current active...

I haven't tried this as I don't have a drive in my pc, but I thought this would be years off.. "Just a heads up that I've succeeded in playing back an original Blu Ray disk in the blu ray drive using XBMC. It's not as user friendly as is could be yet, but at least it's now possible. Steps: -...

Hi I have been adding some of my dvd tv series collections to my htpc set up over the weekend and have it set up sort of. I have set each tv show to have it's own folder and have inserted the ISO files from my dvd's but I can't work out how to name the iso files so that they are compatible with...

Well I think the title says it all. I have looked with google and I can't find an answer on how to change my master code or find out what it is. Some have said to check the info in system/prilfe.xml but I don't have that file as far as I can tell, maybe it is data for xbmc on an x box. Please...

The guys at linhes posted up that the latest xbmc-svn package was available and to try it out. I must say it is so much better in most ways to mythfrontend except I can't get the bloody remote/lirc to work I noticed that the supposed Keymaps.xml and Lircmap.xml files don't exist in the...

Been playing around with XBMC (I "play around" a lot don't I?). Looks freakin' amazing, especially the xperience skin which will be released for public beta next weekend (ultimate drool - if you haven't heard of it I suggest you find out). But I'm having audio trouble. (it works fine, but not...

Managed to upgrade xbmc to 9.04 without any problems, or so I thought. Everything appears to work, except if I try to start xbmc via the xfce drop down menu. If I use this method, I get the following message: XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Install an appropriate graphics...

As per this blokes thread. Impressive! He writes: This is a stock ASRock 330 nVidia ION (~$350 USD) (2GB/320GB/DVD) that has been loaded with Ubuntu 9.04 x86 (32-bit), nVidia 180.60 Drivers, XBMC 9.04.1 with Aeon Skin, Jean-Yves Avenard's MythTV 0.21-fixes with VDPAU backport support, and...

Some learnings on how to create a mixed playlist (playlist which plays a combination of music (mp3) and videos). With my daughter's 15th birthday party approaching and 40+ guests, I set to work to set up xbmc to play a combination of music videos and mp3s, all via a mixed playlist set to...

I'm not sure if this post is in the right area of the forum. i have a Midte MDT-PM100HS hdmi media player similar to the Apple TV player. Is there an XBMC add-on for this player?

I've been trying to get the VideoMonkey plugin working on xbmc. VideoMonkey is a video plugin that allows you to view sites like You Tube via xbmc. I've managed to download and install the plugin - it now shows up in xbmc. However, when I try to run it, xbmc reports: I've given every...

Tried to play a video file (and an audio file) using xbmc when the system returned the following message: Had played these files in the past. For photos, I get

I have just installed XBMCbuntu (see earlier thread). I now need to get live TV working. My research to date has left me unsure about whether I should install the mythtv backend only and use the xbmc as the frontend, or install mythtv backend/frontend and somehow switch between xbmc and mythtv. ...

I like the look of xbmc, but from what I have read 64 bit is not supported (except ubuntu 8.10?) and there is no hurry about adding this. I have seen some threads suggesting that you can put a 32-bit distro on to a 64-bit machine to run xbmc, although that can apparently cause problems. Others...

Guys The smoothvideo branch of XBMC has been merged now that 9.04 has been released. You can try it out from SVN. What this does is allow the timing of the video to be matched to the frequency of the refresh rate. This means that 23.976 fps videos can be sped up to 24fps (if you're outputting...

After a long delay, I finally got XBMC running and are very impressed!! This is a fantastic addition, thanks for recommending it. At the moment I concentrate on Pictures and Movies and it picks them up nicely from my Vista Desktop PC in the Study. I have a few small details to clear up but that...
