Well, I went for it in the end, leaving the settings as you can see above. It's all working great, with all audio being sent to my amp as PCM. (my Denon AVR1910 displays Multi In")

The only thing I cannot seem to get working is this. I used to be able to see my XBMC drive from my PC, and move files to it (like skins and music) but now I can't.

Also where as before I had the option of setting the video output to pretty much anything, I now seem to be restricted to 1080p at 50-56hz.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Can't help you with the XBMC drive but to fix the video output try running the script from the http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70068&highlight=juddering guide.

Thanks for that. The Automatic Installation process described in the link has enabled the extra refresh rates I was after.

Now, does anyone know how I gain network access the 300gb partition I created when doing this fresh install?

Hi there

Can I go through your installation guide if Im not using a nvidia gfx. My system is a i3 with integrated gpu. I will just skip the section regarding installing nvidia drivers. Would this work.

Great thread by the way

Install the samba server:
Code:
sudo apt-get install samba
Set password for user xbmc:
Code:
sudo smbpasswd -a xbmc
Add this at the end of /etc/samba/smb.conf:
Code:
[XBMC]
path = /home/xbmc
comment = XBMC
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
Restart samba:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Thanks for the response.

I have done that, plus much more found in a few guides dotted around the place, in fact I have just had a breakthrough.

Fingers crossed I'm close to being able to do everything I want to for now.

I confused... Everyone have there folders like skin.concfluence but i don't Sad

- harryzimm - 2010-07-15

Skin.confluence should not be in that folder, it is located at /usr/share/xbmc/addons. Not that it matters anyway. just put your dharma compatible skin in the /home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons folder(eg skin.night) then you must restart xbmc before you can select it

cheers

Hmmm, I think I have done as you say:

Downloaded Skins,
unzipped them into folders (eg skin.aeon)
Placed the folders into /home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons

but when I restart and go to Settings>Appearance>Skin, I am still only given Confluence as an option.

- harryzimm - 2010-07-15

is there an addon.xml and description.xml in the root of the skin folder? Best thing to do is to try a skin that is known to be working.

cheers

- Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15

Still stuck on changing skins, and another thing is bothering me I'm afraid.

If I chose a film to watch, and select it from my library to play, I have to wait several minutes for it to begin playing. A "working" icon appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen while I am waiting.

Once playing it plays fine.

- Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15

No, those .xml files are not there.

I have downloaded and tried the night.skin, as you suggested.

Still nothing, and that doesn't have those 2 .xml files either!?

- harryzimm - 2010-07-15

Ok here is what to do to test the night skin.

Hit ctrl alt f3 to get to a terminal then log in

type

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core

Code:
cd ~/.xbmc/addons

Code:
git clone git://github.com/bartowski/skin.night.git

Code:
killall xinit

xbmc should restart and you should be able to select the night skin.

cheers

- Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15

Great, I've got the night skin working and it's pretty nice!

Now, how about this long delay when starting a film?

- harryzimm - 2010-07-15

Are you playing the files locally or via smb? Please explain you exact setup.

cheers
