First post - so EXCITED about using this software. Just downloaded and installed it on Win7 - x64 platform.
Goals: To play movie files and use it as my music jukebox
Initial testing: After installation, as random testing, I was successfully able to play .mkv and .flac files - no problems
Question(s)
I have a large collection of .mkv movies files and FLAC based music library.
When going to either audio or video section, I'd like to be able to see the movie titles as a cover floater, along with a brief description of the movie. Same with my audio FLAC files. If I have...say, 50 CDs, I should be able to see the cover floater for all those titles, and click on one to select and play. Same with the movies.
I saw a screenshot of XBMC doing that - how can I do the same ?
Apologies, if this has been asked already - just couldn't contain my excitement from the initial playing with xbmc
From what I can tell so far, XBMC is the ultimate 'eye candy' app that, in my opinion beats Windows media center.
