Hi
Well I decided to get here to ask for some help in the "should i take up all the effort that takes to get XBMC to run?" topic -.-. I guessed no1 better then xbmc users to tell me that ^^.
I think today I've tried it for the 5th/6th. This time i got as far as adding items manually to the library! =D
What intersts me on XBMC is that u can use alternative players, so (I guess) it's possible to use other players like kmp or mpc and use EVR in order to get dxva working for h264 and mpeg2 and xvid?
What ALWAYS stops me on getting even to test the player part: Library and file navigation.
What I feel I need from an HT Software is browse all my files along a list, based on filenames (and maybe nicy pics but that's not even a bit mandatory), being to change organization by filename/date/etc. I don't need to set genres and other stuff. Today actually for the first time, after a lot of hasslle I manged to add some videos manually to the library, but then they came out as movies >_>.
I tried also the 'mtv scrapper', but that didn't work at all for me. Maybe because I add extra info to filenames like '[19] [VOB] Vandalism - Never Say Never'?
The folder view could work... if I didn't had 5 hard discs and a total of almost 10k video clips spread in 9 folders.
That resumes a bit of my situation and my story with XBMC. I like to recall I came here to ask for some directions in if i should go on trying, and what to look for on the XBMC topic. I'm not really to bitch bout it (even thou in some points it may sound x.x), but i'm guessing i'm looking at the wrong places (or not looking) since apparently so many use it.
