yes you can. if you know how to change your bios with xbtool you can change it to point to your xbmc folder eg. f:/apps/xbmc/default.xbe.

or you can copy the whole xbmc folder to your c drive and rename default.xbe to the name your bios is looking for,

i don't use any of them, but have xbmc as first entry in evox. so start box, press a and autostart whatever you want through python. :-) don't need a tv for this! ;-)

her, thanx for infos about autorunning xbmc at startup.
too bad with this script
Quote:import xbmc
xbmc.mediaplay('shout://addicted.puredj.com:8000')

i get this error:
Quote:view as list
cddb
sr_error_cant_resolve_hostname
it does not start (and the audio playing meanwhile skips by one Smile)
tnx

edit:
btw, the dns settings are correct.
