Hi;
I have XBMC running on Ubuntu, and I have using Commander App in my iPad to control the library.
I cannot play any movie, the system show me this message: "playback failed, one or more items failed to play, check the log file for details"
I need help, please.
Thank you in advance

Did you check the log file?

Do I have to Install codecs separately?

Thank you for that.
Now I wonder what do you guys suggest I do? I installed stable build 11.0 but as it was pointed here that might be broken, should I go with nightly builds instead?

Sorry to bother you guys but this has now become very frustrating. I've tried last nightly build but with no luck. I didn't get the "one or more items failed to play check the log file for details" message but videos are not played correctly, there is skipping from 0:00:00 to 0:24:00 then plays for 2secs and more skipping and so on. So I uninstalled nightly build (from 20.5.2012).
I have installed "gom player", just to try if there is any problem with bandwidth or something else, but in "gom player" movies play flawlessly.
Then I tried the stable build again and again the same message "one or more items failed to play check the log file for details".
The interesting part is, that when I play the movie from "file browser" in system tab (inside XBMC) it works OK.
Is there anyone who can give ne some advice what to do or try next ?

I really need to see a log showing you playing the same file first from the library then from the file browser. It looks as if you played "(2005) Stewie Griffin The Untold Story DVD-Rip/Stewie Griffin The Untold Story.avi" then "American Dad! - S01E01 - Pilot.avi".
Incidentally, Windows XP doesn't support hardware acceleration and without it an Intel® Celeron® M processor 1.60GHz isn't going to be able to play HD video.

XP doesn't support the hardware acceleration required by XBMC so it doesn't matter what video card you have or what drivers you use. Having said that, SD video should play fine.
