I wasn't critiquing, I am very appreciative of all Wyrm has done for us.

Actually I think Wyrm doesn't care too much about a dying platform, or at least that's the impression I got when I asked him about some of this stuff on XBMC forums.

That's okay, I am appreciative of the work he's done and understand that he's ready to move on.

Iomega Home Media Hard Drive, 1TB NAS. Has a USB port on it so if need be I can double that by plugging in my 1TB WD MyBook external drive.

Okay, that answers that question then. I guess I'll just have to get used to it for now. Thanks.

I mean the info page you get by hitting "info" on the remote--on the desktop version of XBMC there is an option to set showing this to be the default action instead of simply playing the video, which is what happens now. I miss that.

I have also used s-video on xbox in the past and couldn't notice any improvement from RGB Scart. Glad you got it sorted in the end but eventually what you want is a TV with Component input and then buy an Xbox HD cable (component) - the difference in quality is massive. You mentioned you were using...

On the desktop version I have my setup by default to give me episode information when I select files from the library to play. This is an option usually found in the desktop version under: Settings -> Videos -> File lists -> Default select action: Show information I simply cannot find this as an op...

yeh. lack of free ram.

How much RAM does it eat?

Thanks for the suggestion on codec support, trying it now. Update: the full codec support option fixed it and allowed me to play the video, thanks! Is there a reason not to leave this option set permanently? Digging around and testing with earlier versions of the xTV-SAF skin lead me to think the is...

Another thing, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm simply misconfiguring but I have yet to be able to get visualizations to work while playing music. I've scrolled through all of the ones listed and all I seem to get is fan art of the artist (which is cool, but I worry about burn in on my televi...

I'm doing everything backwards! :D I actually started out using the desktop version of XBMC and only now am giving the original XBMC for the xbox a try. This means I have not only a bunch of learning to do, but also that I "know" a bunch of stuff that simply isn't true to the XBMC4XBOX app...

Kudos for editing the post to [SOLVED]! :) Not a problem, I figure that at least this way it will help any who come after me solve this issue easier. Also, I figured out another way! If you run XBMC on your desktop, it's possible to go to the applications data folder and copy the sources.xml file, ...

chapado: Standard definition TVs - modify skins' small font sizes and make them readable First I modified the Font.xml to add surfing_spider's suggested text, copying the fonts from Confluence theme, then I used the xfontsize tool to add a size increase of 9pt. Really seems to make a difference eve...

I wouldn't say there is any noticeable difference between composite vs. s-video (at least not on my 20 incher). Also have the same setup on a 20" Sony Trinitron w/ component-in and the difference there is night/day. I'd stick with composite video on your 32 incher + xTV SAF for now If it doesn...

Try softening the image or enabling flicker filter if you haven't done so already. I did that and I edited the font.xml, this helped a little so I'm going to be looking into that some more. Also posted on xbmc forums asking if Wyrm would be willing to make a "big" version of xtv-saf for us.

But what about for now, is it worth it for my current television? Edit: Maybe I'm asking the wrong question altogether--are there any skins you recommend with large text? Currently I'm using xtv-saf. I used to use Big-Cirrus, but that doesn't seem to be maintained any more and trying to use it any w...

I have a 32 inch tube tv which I used to run xbmc on off the desktop (which is now on semi-permanent loan to my parents) and I used to run that on svideo. Now that I have xbmc running on the xbox, it's plugged into the RCA jack and really hurts my eyes. Eventually I want to join the 21st century and...

use fixed ips. Yeah I just figured that out. I kept searching and trying things until I came across a youtube video that suggested that as a workaround. Trying a fixed IP made things show up finally! :D What keeps happening is that I keep getting tripped up over my experience in the Windows and the...

I have an iomega NAS which can be seen by all the other computers and devices I own (WinXP, Android*, Ubuntu 10.04.x) except in the xbmc4xbox. The only other time I've seen this behavior was with the xbmc for android port which required me to run a SAMBA app to enable it to see the NAS across the ne...
