Maybe ill give it a shot one day!

An impressive guide. Thanks for your work.

excellent work milkman,

i am just about to purchase a HP ProLiant MicroServer but i need digital audio out, whats the best way to do it with this set up?

I freely admit that I am probably missing something obvious here. I apologize for that now, in advance.

I am mostly trying to follow the PseudoTV bits of the guide, when I have the money I'd like to attempt to do a build according to the hardware described within, but until then I'm trying to make do with an older desktop running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4 and my iomega 1TB NAS with all my files on it.

I'm not sure if I'm following the PseudoTV Network Manager properly or not. Am I supposed to run the application from a computer with the XBMC profile? Where exactly are these tvshow.nfo stored?

With the old TVTime I used to simply alter everything in XWMM to fit the types of channels I wanted. If a show belonged in RetroTV instead of its usual network I'd edit its studio field in XWMM and be on my way. Not sure if that was good or bad now, but it worked.

Any suggestions pointing out the blindingly obvious in where I am doing it wrong would be appreciated.

Thanks!

That's too bad, cause his guide is great, albeit with a few things that I could use some clarification on. Of course I'm coming at it from the perspective of someone who is already somewhat familiar with XBMC and the guide is written for the complete newbie. If I were doing everything according to the guide instead of using it as a jumping off point, probably I'd not be having an issues.

seams like bumper pack 2 is offline :/

Hi there all,

Just a quick question. I am following this guide and I cant get it to recognise any of my other drives other than the 250GB I installed the OS on.

Any ideas?

Are they partitioned and formatted? If they are a brand new hard drive they probably aren't partitioned in which case Windows will not recognize them.

Here's a quick guide I found via google how to partition a new drive

Of course, if it's an old drive, already partitioned and formatted then, my post was pretty useless and I'm sorry! ;-)

Also, if they are really large drives, like terabyte drives, then you may need to make sure your bios has those enabled and any necessary drivers are installed for them to be recognized.
