Hi. I just tried XBMC on Hardy. Thanks all for Linux porting. This app is currently unique. There is not so much UpNP media clients for desktop on Linux.

Locally it can play movies and music and it works great. Maybe a bit slowly, but I had a cheap graphic card nv6200.

I finded that XBMC use very small CPU resources, this is very good. Maybe a better video card can solve the slow UI response (especially the mouse cursor moves) and slow full screen (1600 x 1050) video playback.

I use mediatomb as my favorite UpNP server. XBMC recognize it nicely and can read and list all media files from mediatomb. But when I try to play something, music or video, XBMC ends with crash.

Can someone help me with this? Thanks for reading.

If you want any support you're going to have to give more info. FULL debug log to http://www.pastebin.ca , system specs, media types, network type, etc. The more we know the better we can help.

little bit offtopic, the gpu has little to do with the UI lag i believe, nv6200 has opengl 1.5 and no pixelshader 3.0.. so i would get a vid card that does have that..
for example:MSI NX7600GS-TD512Z (AGP), is also passive. has tv out,vga and DVI.
new price is around 70euro i believe so secondhand should be pretty cheap..

Same problem here, but I use twonky media server instead of mediatomb with my 360 and djmount on linux. Here is the full debug log: http://www.pastebin.ca/1055185

Solved :
Here is what I do on my ubuntu 8.04 (thanks to icekiller ):
- Check if libcurl is installed, if not, install libcurl3
- Make a symbolic link to libcurl.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so
- Play your favourite music on xbmc

Thanks for all!

I have the same issue on Suse 11.2 (64 bit)
I installed xbmc from the packman repo
