just a few quick questions....
1) i purchased an acer revo, installed live and apart from using a different skin, i tweaked the video to VDPAU, audio through OPTICAL with DTS and AC3 enabled....
tv is a 1080p but not 24fps
my problem is when watching tv eps in 720p MKV or 1080p movies in MKV i dont seem to be getting a really smooth scrolling pic, it doesnt seem juddery as such just not 100% smooth.
if i convert the files with mkv2vob to an .mpg container and play on my PS3 they are smooth....
am i missing a setting on the acer or what?
2) Im using an emorex remote, but half the buttons are not configurable..
what remote do you use?
please help apart from that the XBMC rocks...

just considering this option... but i only have scart inputs on my TV? is it possible to convert the HDMI to scart? or use the vga output somehow?

Where does it tell me what version I am running? I looked for a standard About screen but didn't find it.

Assuming you are on the default confluence skin, go to the main menu highlight system, click the right button (on you keyboard or your remote) then hit system info, on the bottom of the summary it should have bold blue letters. Mine says:
XBMC 9.11 R26018 (Compiled : Dec 24 2009)
just above my cpu usage/memory used

Right, this is all very gibberish to me. Is there a video tutorial to make things easier?
Just got the Acer Revo 3610 and none of this makes sense to me.

I don't believe there is a video, but just go to the first page in this thread or here. I can also give you my settings info if you need it but most of what you need to get started is in those two places.
One thing to change, don't use the usb thumb drive (flash memory stick) install it with an external cd-rom drive!

And if I don't have an external cd-rom drive...

Hey guys, I'm new to the whole XBMC thing and I have a few questions, so go easy on me
I have a Revo 1600 upgraded the ram to 2gb, using the Aeon hitched skin and I'm running Live 9.11 installed into the internal HDD. The problem I'm having is that the system would randomly boot me off to the command line asking me to login.
The next question is fairly simple and I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but just want to make sure. When I send files within the same network through SFTP, it doesn't use my ISP bandwidth, right?

This happens when XBMC crashes for whatever reason. Check your log files for why (may need to enable them first)

Right, local network traffic stays on your local network.

I know how to enable log files, but how would I check them and how do I post them here?
