Hi there,
As my username suggests I am a complete newbie (great start, half of you just click off this page!) but I am stumped. I want to keep my classic graphite iMac G3 as a jukebox (it's not useful for much else these days but I really want to keep it)....anyway....i've noticed today (after some considerable usage) that (when I finally stumbled across this fantastic application and it's brilliant community) when I click to load the application....it shows up in the centre of the screen like a flash...and then does nothing. It doesn't load.
I'm a newbie, any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
Hello again...
Well after using a dictionary (you guys like big words, don't you?) and a bit more searching I have discovered (and this is in no way a complaint, more an observation) that XMBC will work on PPC as described....just not G3 PPC.....so that's my iMac Jukebox dead in the water....unless some kind person would like to recommend a way I can do this? Perhaps....XMBC that allows AirPlay and will work on G3
I haven't got a clue about coding or any of that, i'm really an end-user in this respect. I imagine it must be an insanely difficult task to do, so I doubt anyone would be willing to help? I've seen i'm not the only one using these G3 iMacs as jukeboxes....it'd be nice if we had a modern solution for an old machine like that....
That would be nice as i've just got iTunes 9.2 working on my G3....pppppllllllleeeeeeaaaasssssseeeeee
P.s would XMBC 10.1 (that has airplay) work on a G3? I'm just looking at earlier versions....it just says ppc....not G3 or G4
