Hey guys,im about to start my main media home setup and was told about XBMC.
Now i have had a go and followed a few threads to get me used to it,i have a few questions though if you dont mind helping me.
i assume most people that use XBMC use them in there home cinema setups,do you guys download your files and store on Hard drives ,then set them up via XBMC?
1.I will be using 2 x 4TB external hard drives at the moment,most of my media consists of avi/mkv/avi files for movies,is this ok? Should i use others?
2.My music consists of mainly mp3 files but i am at the moment changing to FLAC loseless files,would this also be ok,or any other suggestions?
3.I have hyperspin (arcade gaming setup on my PC) and also many steam games,is there a tutorial on how to setup xbmc for this at all? i found a video online but its from years ago and i cant find the application.exe startup addon.This is my main problem tbh,is there a tutorial for adding Hyperspin or Emulation?
4.i have seen many great setups on youtube,can you suggest great frontend addons,screensavers etc? that i can try out that are highly rated?
is there any other starting up tutorials i can watch online to see how i can proceed with my home cinema frontend?
thanks people for any help
