XBMC and XBMP

[Mubz]

Gi'day...

i've been using my xbox for years mow as a media centre with absolutely no probs what so ever..
so i decided to get one for my folks so i could stick a load of movies/TV shows so i didn't have to keep burning them DVD's...
so i got one from flea bay and it seams to work fine.
I set it up on my network using XBMC to stream from my PC, absolutly no probs there.
I started to FTP some files over to check it and they just will not play when I use XBMP.
the thing is there were already some movies on the drive that play fine...
i've made sure the extension are the same and also the attributes is set up to wr-r-r

so wot the buggery is going on???

some help would be great as its a birthday present for yesterday lol...

What are the file extensions...???

I know that xbmc/xbmp has a problem with .mkv files....

 

[Mubz]

they are both .avi files

Why xbmp? xbmc will play everything and music and it keeps it simpler for them. Then you can set it up to boot straight to xbmc and put everything in the relevant folders, movies, music, pictures.

XBMP is reallly old now. XBMC was XBMPs replacement. Are you trying to boot directly into XBMC?

Are you trying to boot directly into XBMC?

I had a little mess around with it last night but couldn't get it to boot directly into XBMC
is there any tuts out there for that??

Slayers is not a dashboard as far as I am aware. It will probably be Evolution-X or Unleash-X?

 

[Mubz]

my bad, it's evox...

Use the tool in the XBMC distributions to re-direct the dashboard, and replace the Evox default.xbe with the XBMC one
