No IR receiver built in. You need to buy a USB IR receiver/remote.

Qooop Wrote:Also, I am only getting option for 1080i. Could it possibly be due to the long HDMI cable (50') run and the connectors? I get other devices to give me 1080p but they have 1 fewer switch in the path. And can that even affect the availability options?
I am getting the same problem. Just found a post about it at http://www.revouser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=173 but I am at work and have not tried it yet, also I have no idea what modelines is
Remote - shabas7 - 2009-11-10 09:19
What is the best remote for the revo? I would like to pick one up that just works, without having to mess about with drivers and all...

Every time I try to modify the xorg.conf, in fact every time I log in with Putty and give it a root password, next reboot it goes to a text mode instead of booting up XBMC. I don't know how to get past that. Everything I can find on Linux assumes you have enough knowledge to get a program started. I have no knowledge of Ubuntu so for now I am stuck staring at some tty1 thing. Then I have to reinstall once again. And the Camelot install CD version goes straight to the text mode after the menu screen. Same exact problem.

I can confirm that, with the exception of being able to wake it from suspend, it works straight out of the box.
Hulu and Netflix - fig32 - 2009-11-10 15:31
I have this up and running and would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction. I would like to install a plugin for Hulu and Netflix if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

For an install on a new system, am I better off using the 9.04.1 ISO posted in p1 of this thread or XBMC Live 9.11 Alpha 1?
If it makes a difference, the system is a 2GB / dual core AR3610 system, and the plan is to install to a USB drive or SD card (leaving Win 7 on the hard drive). Video out will be VGA / audio will be analog. Content will be served over the network (ethernet) using SMB.
Thanks for any help / advice.

Hey Qooop, I got it working! I am at work but will write it up for everyone tonight. The text mode thing is because the xorg.conf is wrong - if you put your original xorg.conf back then you will have the old settings back and at least be able to watch media.
