I finally got XBMC loaded on my Revo with Ubuntu (Karmic Koala). I think when I followed the "How-To" guide, it may have loaded the 9.11 beta. Anyway, I have used XBMC (9.10) on a windows PC and all the movie info comes down from the web really nice. Worked real good with all of the movie data. However, on my Revo HTPC, when I set content, use TMDB, it scans ok. But when I go to movie information, the movie name comes up as a really long list of letters. I go to change the name to what it should be and it won't change. Any idea what is going on? I checked my file name(s) and they are all correct and it works on my windows PC. HELP please.

I have no idea what you are on about.
Screenshots of a movie listing and the movie info screen would help I guess.

I believe my issue has something to do with my network. When I add an external HD with movies, it scrapes perfectly. But across the network, it finds and plays movies but the movie names, when I set content and then go to movie information, are a long string of letters.avi. Not sure if my Nettop ubuntu likes working with my Win7 PC (which is where my movies are stored) across the network.

I don't see the other PC. In my WIN7PC, network, I don't see the Revo3600 either. But I accessed my movies thru UPnP and it found them when I added source in XBMC.

I am about ready to install WIN7 on the revo. Ubuntu is a little frustrating for a newbie. But I want the video quality thru VDPAu.
