Hello - nice video ! I am a bit late to the XBMC / Revo party but am FULLY on board now. I have a massive 9 Terrabyte media collection and would like to have random fan art or cycling fan art for my films/tv shows. Do you know how I can do this as you seem to have that option on in your video? Regards D.
The Aspire Revo comes with a nice mini wireless keyboard, which is what i use mostly - but i have the MCE remote setup as well. AFAIK pretty much any remote will work under Ubuntu as long as you install and configure LIRC
Hi Groove, I am new to Aeon...I downloaded the Auriga theme but I can't figure out how to get the movie view you have at 00:45...i changed to coverflow but it doesn't look like that :( Is that a mod on top of the original Auriga skin? Can you tell me which one? Thanks...looking good...
Do you know if this dual core version can play HD flash content smoothly? I read that the single core struggled with HD youtube and that's a deal killer for me as I'd like to be able to play HD BBC channels with the XBMC iplayer plugin.
Hey videodump - just tried out Youtube HD under Ubuntu and Vista and both were laggy and pretty much unwatchable. Vista actually handled it a lot better than Ubuntu - it was ALMOST watchable ... but still laggy. :(
Hey Groove, thanks for the testing. If you search for "NVIDIA Ion running XBMC" here and watch the vid by m0td2k it seems that Youtube and Iplayer HD Flash work fine, under Linux, using XBMC which can use VDPAU to offload the decoding to the GPU.
Under Windows though I think we need to wait for Adobe to get a move on so Flash can work directly with the ION chipset / GPUs in general. Are you using a dual core atom? If it can't handle HD flash then that answers my original question!
Yeah it can play HD flash videos no problem under Linux/Live, using the plugins. But it all depends what you want to put up with really? In my experience, the youtube plugin chokes up a lot of the time. Tested iPlayer in HD earlier and saw Jonathon Ross's annoying hair all HD'erized.
Good amount of info on the INFO pane over there --> but just wondered.. what resolution are the thumbnbail/poster images you are using? (and what filesize?).
The backdrops are all uncompressed .BMP at 6megs each, but i've never payed too much attention to the poster file sizes (they're all scraped from imdb). and the few extrathumbs i have (for say, watchmen) are all re-sized small so they're all under 200k.

do you download the trailers manually or are they automatically stream in XBMC?
nice setup you got anyways.

i used to download them manually - nowadays i use Ember Media Manager to download 'em and put them in folders automagically :)

Hey man. Great job on this. I'm having a tough time getting trailers to work. Can you please let me know how you're getting them to show up? Thanks!

you have to name them the same as your movie name with - trailer at the end. so if it's TMNT.avi, your trailer would be TMNT-trailer.avi

my standard def stuff is mostly xvid and HD is all h.264 .mkv's, but XBMC will play pretty much anything
Groove996 2 years ago
you can use anything. The xbox360 remote will work too, you just need an IR reciever.

That view is Multiplex - You might have an old version of XBMC or Aeon - one before they added the Multiplex view. Where did you download them from?

videodump, Yes it can. Because XBMCLive/Linux uses VDPAU for all H264 content. (iPlayer HD and youtube HD content will work perfect).

Thanks for the quick reply. Two new questions then!
1) I thought that Flash wasn't currently capable of utilising GPU processing at all? Or is this only possible under Linux?
2) Given I'd rather run Windows 7 than Linux, do you know if the dual core could cope with HD Flash? (as it can't use VDPAU).
