Re: Internet Network?

Thanks for the tips, guys. I think I found the perfect solution: Plex. I can't wait to try it out from work!

Internet Network?

It may be just a wacky idea, but would it be possible to play the media in my home PC over the Internet? I mean, I know it can be accessed locally, but say I take my XBMC system to work, and would like to access the media from my home PC there. Would it be possible? What would I need?

Thanks.

Re: Soft modded 1.0 XBOX 'fragging'

Also check your power plug to the hard drive and the IDE cable to the HDD and the DVD drive. That was definitely what I was going to do first until I noticed I lost my tools. Guess I'll have to make a stop at Home Depot now. Could a faulty DVD rom be the issue? I ask as the DVD tray wouldn't close ...

Soft modded 1.0 XBOX 'fragging'

My XBOX never gave me any problems until today when it didnt power up and instead gave me a flash of red and green. I don't know what to do here. Can anybody tell me where to start on repairing it?

Can XBMC4XBOX read off an external HD?

And if so, is there an external HD with a network adapter that you guys use? So I don't have to turn on my PC every time I want to stream media. And would you guys recommend an external HD over internal? I'm looking at external drives at they seem cheaper, and I would use it alone for media. This se...

Re: Is XVID HD worth it?

Ok I went and I tried BuZz's method as well as a 2 pass XVID encode. No significant change in file size or, in my opinion, quality. Although the 1 pass encode was delivered about a good 8 hours sooner than the 2 pass. http://i45.tinypic.com/9ubr6o.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2dhck0w.jpg Screenshots s...

Re: Is XVID HD worth it?

I'm going to try encoding XVID at a true 720p resolution. I don't know if you're familiar with MEGUI, but you are given the option of selecting the video bitrate, but no control over setting a max. So what I do is go with whatever the bitrate is on the original bluray rip I'm working with. that's t...

Re: Is XVID HD worth it?

it certainly wont look the same, but depends on screen/connection/bitrate etc. AVI is not actually relevant here. That's just a container for the audio/video data. I transcode to 1280x720 with ffmpeg's mpeg4 codec in mkv container rather than xvid, as I can control min/max bitrates and with mkv, ca...

Is XVID HD worth it?

I've been encoding bluray rips to a XVID files with a resolution of 960x544. Now, what I want to know is, is such a resolution worth the added GB to say a 720x400 file? Because, I've heard that an avi file, no matter the resolution, will look the same.

How can I change season posters/thumbs?

Is there a way to chose a different poster/thumb for TV show seasons? For some reason whenever I select 'info' and go on to 'get thumb' only banners and posters for the series show up, and none of the season covers. What can I do? By the way, I do have "automatically grab season thumbs" ch...

At one point I had album/artist information from AllMusic for my music library, and since upgrading to 3.2 stable I had to actually delete my entire library as for some reason I am not allowed to clean the library, I either receive an error or the system crashes whenever I try to clean it. I had to ...
