Hello:
I installed XMBC eden last week on my Windows 7 pc. From the start I was impressed with the ease of use and adaptability, however most of the plug-ins either worked with some kind of error or just didn't work at all. I tried to get XMBC Flix to work (live in Canada) but even though the install worked ok, every time I clicked on the Netflix login page xbmc gave me a plugin error (script fail). I loaded all my music, videos and photos and that worked great especially the IMDB scraper giving me lots of fan art (if that's what it's called) making the visual effects quite impressive. Then after a few day's even the IMDB failed (broken).
I realize this in long winded and not very specific but could you please answer this question. Is XBMC always this unstable or am I just doing something wrong. Should I just continue to use Windows Media Center which to my knowledge has not caused me any grief
I have read many posts which haven't really helped cure the problems. I am computer savvy and used to building linux boxes and websites, but wherever I turn with XBMC I run into problems.
I will gladly give more specific details of errors if you can convince me this is worth our while
As a last resort I reinstalled Eden but the same errors occured. I then tried out Frodo beta and the same there
Thank you
Andrew
