I just installed XBMC yesterday. Running Ubuntu on and athlon II X4 and I have videos stored on a server and they can not be seen on the XBMC screen, but I can see them when watching with VLC. Any help for the newbie. Forgot to add they are .avi videos.
I am also looking to make this HTPC a DVR or make the server a DVR and watch it here. Any threads to point me at?

I'm going to read the wiki, but I already added the video folder on the server drive as a source. The video is playing, I can hear it but can't see it at all today. Last night it was working better and was almost black and white.
I tried messing with setting, but can't get this working

OK, these video are easily found under the video button. They are found and play, but I can not see the video and can hear it running. These video play fine with VLC but don't play video on ZBMC.
Do I need to make setting changes or add scripts? I know some of these avi's will not play om WMP or media center on other computers. I am just wondering if it as code issue or something else I need to account for?

I looked in settings and did not see it.
