You should add the D-Link DS-22 Boxee Remote Control to the remotes section. It has a minimal design with a keyboard on the reverse side. It uses RF rather than IR so you don't need a direct line of sight. WAF (wife acceptance factor) is very high with this remote.

Twiin posted:Woah, that looks slick. How is it to use? Personally, I love it. I have three of them. I love that it's RF and not IR. I love that it doesn't have a lot of buttons. I can grab it without looking at it and do what I need to do. 99% of the time I only need to use up/down/left/right, the select button, info, or back. I can do all that with the front of the remote. When a video is playing, I have it configured so up/down control the volume, left/right skips forwards or backwards, play is pause, the bottom button stops and goes back to the menu, and select brings up the video OSD. If there's something I need to do occasionally, I map it to a button on the keyboard side. I can see why a lot of people don't like it, but for me, less=more. I had a Motorola Nyxboard (two, actually) and returned them both.

From what I've read, it goes by file date, but that doesn't explain how something I downloaded and added today doesn't show up. NM.

kri kri posted: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. That's my issue as well. 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 do hard drive, SD card, or a USB drive. I use an 8GB USB stick and it works great. Edit: I know I sound like a broken record, but in my experience the small USB drive was a lot faster than the class 10 SD card I was using. YMMV. wolfbiker fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Feb 22, 2013 |

If you're using the TV Shows library, once you choose a view it should work for everything you look at in the TV Shows library. Sounds like you're browsing everything in the files mode.

tarepanda posted:I have a Zotac AD10 (Windows 7, so I can run emulators) running the Frodo RC and it's a piece of crap. I haven't used it as a media center since I bought it, but when I went to try it last night, it was just an exercise in frustration. My movies are all jerky -- around 1 fps -- and the audio doesn't work at all. Is DXVA enabled in the settings?

I guess my answer applies to both Anveo and Cold Old. Or, after they're scraped and added to your library, you can edit the NFO files for each one and add in a genre of Rifftrax or Children if you have the patience to do that. I went through my library and did that with my stand-up so now I don't have to browse through my movie collection, I can just go to Genres > Stand-Up.

I just run an instance of XBMC on my server alongside MYSQL and Sickbeard. When Sickbeard downloads something, it updates the server installation of XBMC and its database, and then all the other computers in the house don't need to be updated when I turn them on.

Still doubting whether the Ouya is being released at this point is ridiculous. It's coming out. XBMC isn't out for the Ouya yet (at least not officially) so you'll have to wait longer to see if it's a good XBMC box.

jonathan posted:I rerecorded a video demoing XBMC Cinema Experience. Shows some trivia, a THX bumper and then the show begins. For some reason this movie doesn't trigger a DTS bumper. Not sure why. That's cool and all, but after two or three times aren't you thinking to yourself "start the loving movie already". It's like the crap that was at the beginning of VHS tapes and DVDs that you would always have to skip through. The advantage to using XBMC is the elimination of such stuff.

I could understand the trivia if it was your rotating fanart on the home screen instead of the space images, but don't understand them after you choose a movie to play. One THX/DTS/Dolby into before a movie is tolerable to me. Before I moved I had a setup very similar to yours so my opinion has nothing to do with jealousy.

I use EMM for scraping metadata for all my movies, so I just added a 3D genre in that and would check 3D for any movie that applied, and now I just go to browse, genres, and choose 3D.

Switched to Amber and lie it a lot. Like someone above said, it's essentially a nicer more refined Confluence, which is what I was using previously. Is there any way to adjust sharpness using OE? I like to crank sharpness way up and previously had to use shaders in MPCHC to get it the way that I like it.

Don't you have to create custom actions in advancedsettings.xml for XBMC to do certain things? You can assign clean library, update library, etc. to certain keys on the keyboard that way. That's what I've done.

I spent a LONG time ensuring all my directories were named properly with each movie file named exactly the same as the folder it is in. I then used EMM to scrape metadata and posters/fanart. It took a looong time, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore. If my library gets deleted for whatever reason, it doesn't have to scrape everything since all the required info is stored in each folder with the movie.

Biggest human being Ever posted:Are you running openelec? Any problems? I've read that the remote and sleep mode can be tricky to get working. I have two AD10s and an AD12 all running OpenELEC and none of mine have trouble waking up with my remotes. I'm using the Boxee remote on all three, so I can't say whether there are issues with the remotes and IR receivers that actually come with the computers, but the USB Boxee remotes that I use work just fine.

Your receiver or stereo is probably the culprit, not XBMC. It's receiving a stereo signal so it's playing it as stereo. Change the sound options on the receiver to a pseudo-surround profile that will make use of all your speakers and your sub.

I've never seen that MeLE remote before, but now that the USB Boxee remote isn't for sale anymore that looks like the next best thing. Though I do prefer the simplicity of the Boxee's remote versus the mystery buttons on the MeLE.

Ugh, I had two of those and luckily could send them both back for a full refund. They were garbage when they first came out. Big and thick with too many buttons, the gyroscope was noisy, and the range was pitiful. After shipping, the exchange rate, and taxes/duty was taken into account I bought THREE Boxee remotes for the cost of one of those things.

I need to move a bunch of TV shows around from hard drive to hard drive. This is going to gently caress with things in Sickbeard. Is there a way to update the location of the TV shows without editing each show's entry manually? Maybe just deleting the entire DB and rescanning everything?

I'm not exactly doing that, though. I'm moving a bunch of shows that have ended to a new "archive" drive since there won't be any new episodes and then I'm keeping some on the existing drive. I guess I'll just delete and start over.

Turns out that the Wifi driver for windows 7 for the Atheros chip it uses is dog poo poo. OpenELEC runs great on it. Same here. No issues over gigabit ethernet but it buffers on anything over 720p over wifi.

InfiniteZero posted:Are current builds of XBMC on Raspberry Pi (Raspbmc or Openelec I guess) solid? I bought a Raspberry Pi for OpenELEC and it's sitting in a desk because I was disappointed. The menus are sluggish and you can't navigate them smoothly (using Confluence) and it's especially slow if you have a large library. It also takes a while for artwork to display and for videos to begin playing. It's probably fine if you only download the occasional thing for playback via USB and don't use it that often, but if you have a lot of stuff, share it over a network, and use it multiple times per day, it's worth spending the money on a real computer.
