Ahh, that's the problem with Wife 1.x, you need to update to Wife 2.x as it has more features.

My wife loves XBMC. So do her mother and grandmother. So that would mean I got a grandmother in law v2. Cool

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

One of the major benefits of having only sisters (and mostly only nieces) is you get to find out quickly what is and is not lady approved. Primary finding: women love the XBMC for iOS remote and airplay.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

As an alternative to a full XBMC implementation on inexpensive devices, like the Roku or Raspberry Pi, how about a video playback client on a streamer coupled with XBMC on a computer/tablet as a second-screen interface?

Funny you should mention that, because nightly builds now have a new feature that does exactly that. Still needs some work for it to work with all formats and more devices, but the basic idea is that XBMC can "play to" and control any UPnP/DLNA source.

If anyone wants to grab a nightly build, on XBMC turn on the "look for clients" option under Settings -> Services -> UPnP

Other XBMC installs can also be clients, and some (most? not sure) UPnP/DLNA devices should work too, like some SmartTVs.

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc
