Looks like the trakt addin has been updated to 2.0 in the repo, meaning it handles 2 way sync now.

Has anyone messed around with SiriProxy for XMBC? Here's the thread on the XBMC forums, and here's an outdated video of the plugin in action. Someone has recently forked the original version and added features, along with Frodo compatibility. I think it would be super cool to use Siri to control stuff, but looking at a Windows tutorial makes me kind of not want to go through the hassle.

Gorfob posted:The official XMBC app sets up the ability to dump Youtube videos straight onto your XBMC in 2 touches. Being able to share stuff that quickly onto a larger screen is loving fantastic. Can you link this app? I don't see any functionality in the XBMC Remote app I have. I'm just using Airplay to do it.

Added Pneumatic: Interesting add-on that integrates with your SAB install and is able to play videos from incomplete RAR sets. To the program add-ons section. Also added a link to the Official XBMC iOS remote which I just found today. Begall posted:I have a fork of this for SiriServerCore, but it's not yet Frodo compatible as since updating my phone to 6.1 & jailbreaking I've not been able to use my SiriServer. How much would you say you use Siri to bring up something rather than just your remote? I think that it would have to be pretty smart to get much usage from me. If I could say "show all unwatched tv show episodes in the last two weeks" for example, or "show all unwatched comedy movies."

The best usage case I found for it was the random function I introduced, e.g. 'Watch random South Park', which as far as I'm aware isn't possible in stock XBMC via the UI. I think it would be possible to do what you wanted. You could have a command to add all unwatched episodes from the recently added list (not sure if date added to the library is accessible via JSON-RPC) to a playlist and start playing it. You could also bring up a list on the phone with the second, searching the genre property for comedy (or anything else) & playcount = 0.

Added the following to the OP: --- Service Add-Ons Library Watchdog: This add-on watches your media sources for new files, and automatically updates XBMC's library when it finds them. ---- If anyone uses additional service add-ons I'll add them to the list. Also, if you're on iOS make sure to check out the Official Remote app. It's free, and way faster than any other remote app I've tried before. XBMC Commander always took 10 seconds or so to bring up a list of music, for example, where as this one does it instantly. Highly recommended.

I had bought a wireless keyboard for control, but it ended up not working so I had to return it. That was when I discovered the official app. It is pretty awesome. Like I posted a couple pages back though, for some reason the arrow buttons are super sensitive on my iPad. Pressing down once will often cause me to skip a line or two, and pressing enter might cause it to enter a directory, then press enter again (exiting the directory). This doesn't happen on my iPhone though, so I'm not sure what's up.

So, I think I'm gonna set up Plex on my network simply so I can stream stuff everywhere after finding this stupid easy guide: http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/14/setting-up-a-plex-environment/ Other than streaming anywhere like on my iPhone, any other real advantages of running Plex? My current XBMC is 3 HD's hooked up to my CPU which my HDTV acts as a second screen where I use XBMC. Then, I share my files over my network so my roommates can use XBMC in their room with my media.

Plex is a pretty cool concept and the mobile device integration is pretty neat as is plex/web. The issue is the desktop clients are so far behind xbmc at the moment its hard to recommend using them. The windows and mac clients are free so knock yourself out but as far as I can tell they are based on XBMC eden or possibly even an older version of xbmc. Also if you are transcoding at all, even to local clients on your LAN, you will need a pretty fast on the computer that plex media server is on. Trying to stream to my Roku from my N40L server is futile, it can't keep up.

It doesn't just play the files, it transcodes them, so I couldn't even play stuff from my server to a Roku without buffering.

You can turn off transcoding....but then you kind of lose the main benefit of running Plex. At that point, you should just setup XBMC for UPnP.

Can someone please post the fix for SickBeard and American Dad? Content: This may be a good item to include in the OP. The TWiT network did a 20 minute feature on how to install XBMC on a Pi. It's more of an overview but should be enough to get people started. The part I found interesting was the mention of how you can setup transcoding on another server and stream it to the PI since it has issues with high quality video. Check it out. http://twit.tv/show/know-how/31

We've basically switched over to roku full time because of the out of control sound with XBMC. I was tired of being a remote hawk to not wake the baby.

Running into an issue with my remote. I originally had XBMC under Windows 7, but switched to OpenElec today. Same remote, but now it's firing 3 or 4 clicks every time I press something. A little Googling tells me this is a fairly common problem, but without any sure-fire solutions. I'm guessing I need to add a delay in somewhere before accepting another command. I actually had this issue under Windows 7 as well with the remote that came with my AD12, but I bought a standalone MCE Remote and threw those drivers on the computer and the problem stopped. Now that I'm on OpenElec, I'm not sure what options I have. I toggled the "Remote sends keyboard press" option on and off to no change.

Other than here and the xbmc forums, is there any good resource where I can read up on reviews and user experiences with some of the new Android stick and set top devices? There are just so many coming out and it's hard to keep up or get any good info. I'm just looking for something that'll play back 1080p in various formats through XMBC, Netflix streaming (I'm assuming HW rendering will be necessary) and Hulu Plus.

XBMC for Android is still at a very early point in development, and they are asking people to wait with purchasing hardware until support gets better.

I've tried creating an AdvancedSettings.xml and playing with the settings there, and I can see them having an effect as far as how long it takes if I deliberately hold a button down, but it still doesn't change the double keying. This is entirely frustrating and impossible to use. Looks like I'm formatting back to Windows.

I've got an issue that I've searched around for a solution, but no luck. I've got multiple computers running XBMC throughout the house, and this is happening on all of the boxes. Since I upgraded to Frodo on all of themo, I am having an issue with scraping when XBMC starts up. When XBMC loads right after bootup, I see the notification in the upper right that it is searching for new media to index, but it immediately goes to compressing database and finishes. If I close XBMC and reopen, it performs the scrape and updates all new files. So obviously this is a timing issue. It looks as though XBMC is trying to update media files before it is connected to the network. I've gotten around this using the XBMC update manager in Programs but so far it has been a less than stellar solution, and doesn't seem to work very well. I run all of my media pc's with Logitech Harmony's so exiting and restarting the system every time to update isn't working well for me. Anyone else running into this issue. Again, I'm getting the same thing from all 5 media PC's on my network so it really is perplexing. All worked fine under Eden.

To delay XBMC just add the parameter -d X with X equal to the startup delay in seconds. Taken from here

Is there any difference in 32-bit or 64-bit for Linux (Ubuntu) XBMC? I'm debating whether or not to use XBMCBuntu (which installs 32-bit Ubuntu 12.10) or manually installing Ubuntu 12.10 x64. The system only has 2 GB of RAM but it does support 64-bit so I'm not sure... I've always used 64-bit in the past but I'm not sure what's best in this situation.
