Numerous XBMC for PC Questions
#1
Thanx in advance here goes.

1/ I am running my hi-def screen at 1080P...I want to run XBMC in a windowed mode so i can still tell when I get Windows Live Messenger messages (cant seem to achieve this when not running in windowed mode) but the window size that is maximised is only small, how can I resize the windowed version to be much larger?

2/ Thumbnails work fine in the Music section, but the Movies section does not seem to want to work, I would liek to have a thumbnail for each movie so I can use the coverflow type view..I did try taking a music thumb and putting it in a movie folder just to make usre it wasnt a problem with the movie thumbs. I dont know if it affects but I have my folders set up like this c----> All Videos ----> Comedy ----> Happy Gilmore ----> Movie + Thumb

3/ Is there a shortcut keys sheet in existance, i want to program my mouse so that I dont need the keyboard but would like to know what keys do what?

4/Is there a way to use a logitech remote to control XBMC?

5/ Are their any plug ins to allow control of a Tv Tuner?

6/ The weather is in F and not C....but their seems no way to change this?

I am running the Media Stream skin

1. Friend asked me this the other day, don't think windowed view can be adjusted.

2. Not sure about the seemingly not needed additional genre folder but use media companion to scrape fanart.jpg, folder.jpb, .ifo file and .tbn file to each movie folder. Import overall movie folder as a source and then right click and scan to library. (note: If it's a ripped DVD with .vob files then all movie and artwork files must remain in the VIDEO_TS folder)

3. , 4., 5. don't know

6. In weather settings have you set the region correctly where you live?

Hope something helps
