Hello all, i am in front of an existential question what and how for a better good!
i have 2 htpc at different places, one is running win7 windows media center the other one windows 8 media center
in both case its working okay slower in win7mce due to hardware http://www.asus.com/Eee/EeeBox_PC/EeeBox_PC_EB1012P/ and faster on http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Vision3D...p?c=Models but still windows 8...
reason why i have been using these:
1- VPN configuration living in Norway to access Hulu
2- Dreambox for satellite with cccam easy to integrate within MCE.
3- I download a lot from asian sites but usually files are in rmvb format which is well supported in MCE
I have been using a little xbmc specially the rc3 nightly builds and i like it a lot, the previous version supported badly RMVB formats(lots of stutering) but now its better.
So basically my question is:
Can i, if i install xbmcubuntu:
-1 "easilly" enjoy the use of VPN and if so how to enter a shell to configure this
-2 I have just purchased a usb dvb s2 as my dreambox is getting close to life, from what i have been reading there are great chances tht the usb dvb-s2 will be recognized by xbmxubuntu but then how can i configure a plugin or patch to install CCCAM support?
i havent explored much yet of xbmcubuntu rather than from a stick, so i dont know if they are any shell options.
I have also read something about openlec but from my understanding this option might a bit "limited" if i need to configure my system a bit more specifically?
Any input is well appreciated.
Cheers
