+---- Thread: [LIVE] HOW-TO Install XBMC on Lucid Mini with PCM Multichannel and Nvidia 256.25 (/showthread.php?tid=74778)
- Burnsybhoy - 2010-08-12
Excellent guide just finished this and got it working on an Acer Revo 3600. Killa sample works nicely and all the audio seems cool.
The only things I'm trying to finish off are is they're anyway to get the wireless working on the Revo so I can try and connect to my PC in the bedroom which is running Vista. Looking to stream from this to the Revo.
Cheers Guys!!

the ppa is missing xbmc still...whats the deal
- harryzimm - 2010-08-13
Dont worry, it will be back online soon. You could try the svn ppa, i think its working.
cheers

Roelio Wrote:If you experience any problems with juddering you can try disabling Dolby and DTS in audio settings and turn on sync playback to display(re sample audio or the option written below) also you can try disable "adjust refresh rate to match video" in video settings. Also I changed the FPS to 50 in the video option's to make it work perfect in my situation.
Where did you set the FPS? I have horrible juddering with 1080p on my REVO3610.
Anyone with a revo care to share their setting? Any changes to xorg.conf?

I reckon he means he changed his res to 1080p @ 50hz not fps. What type of files are juddering? Here is my xorg.conf

ok, i wait a week, i now see xbmc is back in the svn-ppa.....still "couldn't find package xbmc"
aaaaaargh!
i notice that the build status is unchecked....is this the answer to my error?
- Mike8913 - 2010-08-16
so I finally got through the install. the test my the xinit server launches successfully into xbmc. I install xbmc-live, reboot and after I see ubuntu boot screen I am greeted with a black screen. no cursor, no prompt, nothing but the occasional flicker a the top and bottom of the screen.
please help me

@chanders try disabling the adjust refresh rate to match video
@mike what hardware are you using? I'm having this problem also but after 3 minutes it will eventually start. Sometimes it will hang on the Ubuntu screen sometime I need to start XBMC manually, kinda crappy.. This only happens with the Lucid version, you could try this guide with Karmic mini instead.

Thanks alot it helped.
Sad is that I have still judder even now (newest driver etc) ...
I don't know why.

Im on a zotac ION board. atom 2.6 with 2 gb ram and 1tb raid 1 array
im totally at a loss of what to do. I feel like I've installed various versions of ubuntu about 20 times

If it has an ION or ION LE GPU on it, it should have a BIOS setting that allows you to choose how much main RAM gets assigned to the graphic subsystem.
If so, it will likely top out at 512MB RAM for graphics. I would set it to the highest available, IF you have 2 or 4GB RAM. If you only have 1GB RAM, that is likely a big reason for jitter problems.
My Revo 1600 runs video just fine (and it is the "slow" one)under XP playing a full stream rate BD disk (Avatar w/HD Audio). It also plays it on xbmc over the hard wired net from a Win7 PC share as a 38GB MKV file (that stutters a bit, but it is not video processing, it is feed dropout). I cannot stop watching that flic. It is just too good. :-) Anyway, I hope everyone here has their ION BIOS RAM setting tweaked right!
I have been running 9.11 for months, and I UG'd mine to 4GB RAM and a 7200 rpm HD, and I drilled all the vent holes out slightly bigger and dropped the temp 10°F! Check out my mod picks:

Recently, I have been compiling my own, and experimenting with upgrading and dist-upgrading, and continuing to run. Lots of learning. I noticed my new build using mayhem 3 HD I used to see the system details in the lower right corner when I hover over "system", similar to the weather update when hovering over the "Weather" menu item. It used to be there, so either my power mngmnt is tied to it or the new mayhem doesn't have it in/fixed yet.
Anyway, check your BIOS, ION-o-folks. My new project today is a Zotac ITX H55 MOBO ($135)http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-h55itx-a-e-lga-1156-mini-itx-wifi-intel-motherboard.html with 2x4 (8GB) of 1333GHz DDR3 ($200), i5-670 CPU with HD video (32nm)($204), a 500GB 7200 rpm Seagate ($90), Raidmax case($39). It has a full length PCIe16x slot, so I can put my full sized graphics card in it if I want or need to. This is a cool board. It will even take an i7 I read in at least one place. My old machine is full sized and seven years old, but it ran Vista from beta flawless, and Windows 7 as well (Asus AN8SLIyadayada), mainly due to the $400 vid card. This tiny thing will likely beat it. So, for less than $800 so far... We'll see what we'll see...
won't we? I'll let y'all know what progresses. This MOBO has no setting like that I described to you, I just thought I would let you all know what I am doing currently.
Amazing that in the past every transistor in a computer had an ounce of steel associated with it. (more in the old mainframe days) Now there are about a million transistors for every ounce of steel. Amazing.

Welcome mate! Great to see another modder at this forum
To bad I didn't come up with that. This would make the fan run at a lower rpm also and maybe prevent the FAN from speeding up down every time.
I placed a external Fan with a modded passive cooler, but it's now completely silent.
