I've been using XBMC on a PC, so I'm familiar with it. But I now also have the raspbmc and have some questions.
Using raspbmc v12 RC2 installed on a SanDisk Ultra Class 10, 16GB, 30mb/sec SD Card. Movies are stored on a Fantom 1TB external USB drive, with no desire to store any movies on the sd card.
1) Speed is good and I can play 6GB movies without issue. However, playing a 11.5GB mkv causes a split second pause every minute or two.
a) Would upgrading to a 45mb/sec or 95mb/sec card make any difference playing the larger files?
b) Does the size of the card have any bearing on speed? Are there benefits to larger cards and if so what are they?
c) What about an Extreme vs Ultra card?
2) How do I download and add other skins such as Quartz, Metropolis, Slik, etc?
