Might as well start a separate thread for those interested in XBMC
http://xbmc.org/

XBMC MEDIA CENTER XBMC is an award winning media center application for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and XBox. The ultimate hub for all your media, XBMC is easy to use, looks slick, and has a large helpful community

Thanks for creating a separate thread for XBMC. I already got it up and running in my PC. tweaking na lang din at hanap ng suitable skins.
Btw, have tried using the "Set content" feature of XBMC?
-
First question.
Can XBMC handle high bit rate (11MB/sec or higher) 1080p MKV files smoothly?

First question.
Can XBMC handle high bit rate (11MB/sec or higher) 1080p MKV files smoothly?
I believe that it should, as long as your CPU has enough horsepower. Take note that XBMC does not take advantage of GPU acceleration. It is purely processor dependent. Which is why the suggested specs for a hassle-free 1080p rig is a 3GHz dual-core processor (Intel Core 2 or Athlon X2).
-
I already have the Power Cinema Installed, however, this seems better, but I find the Power Cinema very reliable especially with DVD discs, can I install this w/o uninsatalling PowerCinema? or will conflict issues arise if both have been installed ? ???
-
there should not be any conflicts
-
Tried installing this last night. Initial impressions.
I installed the application while the PC was extremely busy with torrents even though the usual recommendation to close all running applications was given. The entire installation process was rather straightforward; I was expecting a re-start prompt but there was none. Went straight to running the program and there was no conflict (yet) with other applications already installed in the PC.
The interface is quite luvly indeed but I felt the menu control to be rather sluggish (but it could be because the torrent was overloading with data transfer in the background). Amazing thing is, opening of movie files, regardless of size and resolution, is a lot faster compared to KMP and MPC.
I don't like the lack of slider on the playback which is a common feature in other software players. The fast play function is fine though. Since most MKVs have no chapters, if you press the chapter button you end up going back to the movie list.
My desktop is powered by E6600 C2D which is slower than the recommended 3.0Ghz C2D. However, except for a 15GB 1080p concert that exhibited out-of-sync issues at some scenes, my PC managed to play all other 1080p files I tested pretty OK. The fast play worked well and the transition back to normal playback speed was smooth and didnt disturb the sync at all. However, there is a slight stuttering of 1080p files, visibly not as buttery smooth as how MPC handles them, but I find the issue acceptable because it does not reach "freeze frame look" -there was no skipping. Nonetheless, I would have to guess that a P4 would be hopeless in this scenario. Even a Pentium-D would likely struggle. Perhaps XBMC really needs C2D efficiency with 3.0Ghz clock speed afterall.
Didnt bother to test any 720p file because if this application can pass the high bit rate 1080p test, it will definitely play any 720p you throw at it.
No issues whatsoever with analog sound set-up or digital sound set-up. DTS was decoded and identified properly.
Subtitle sync is slider type so my wife would probably not like the lack of fine sync control up to 1/1000 of a sec.
The default movie icon is an image of a Sony moviecam (sponsor?). I suppose I have to download the cover arts if I want them. Too bad I threw away the cover arts that came with some downloads. Is this going to be a tediously long process?
As regards PQ, I'd have to analyze it more through hours of viewing in order to give a better assessment. As it is and without tweaking with video settings, the 1080p movies looked great.
Haven't watched a full 1 or 2-hour feature yet, so can't comment about some feedback in the net as regards the XBMC hanging in the middle of a movie.
Quite fascinating program I must admit.

You actually do not need to add cover art, movie info, cast info, etc, manually. XBMC will do that for you via its built in scraper.
XBMC library mode with fanart is huwaw!
During source definition, click on SET CONTENT, look for the scraper you want (MTV for music videos, TVDB for TV shows, and IMDB for Movies) and click OK. Play with the settings to learn how they work. Turn on autoscan .
go back to the previous menu and wait. After it is done, click on the library mode button and it should show your movies complete with movie description, dvd cover thumbs, and wallpaper sized fanart.
of course you may have to do some trial and error to get it to work the way you want but when you do, it is great.

Kasing ganda na nung interface ni Joms sa NMT yung PC ko under XBMC. ;D ;D ;D
...unfortunately, I enjoyed "XBMC Explorer" too much that I lost time to watch something. :(
This makes it "more painful" to delete contents from the hard drive. ;D
-
nice! screenshots naman, hehehe.
I read that the mediastream and aeon skins are much better looking in library mode than PM3.HD
BTW, are you using a remote for your XBMC?
Oo nga pala. In case you have movies still compressed in .rar/.zip (multi-rars included), you can play it directly in XBMC without the need to extract it first. Just choose/click on the rar file and it will show the movie file inside, then just click again to play normally. fast forward, rewind, pause, everything works as if the file is extracted already.

No screenshots. Not my style (actually may phobia na ko to post any kind of picture sa net). But take my word for it - I can match Joms' NMT visual perspective, but it was a lot faster to organize. He he he.
I dont understand "mediastream and aeon skins" yet. I spent 2.5 quality hours just reading through the movie info, choosing thumbnails and looking at those fanart (is this a word?). I'll check these skins options AFTER I watch something. :)
No, I dont have any remote. Just a wireless laser mouse and keyboard.
-
Funny thing is, Autoscan associated a Horror Film to an adult film titled Hairy Movie. ;D ;D ;D It's kinda logical I thought.

That sounds convenient - direct playback of fragmented files - will give it a try on Fringe or House tonight. Thanks!

I tried this on Vista but there were some playback issues on AVI files. Reverted back to XP and the performance was smoother. There is a tendency of going back to MPC because of the search slider bar which I sorely missed.
Is there any keyboard shortcut keys that you guys can share to access the functions? Here are some that I have discovered:
P-pause and play
S-shutdown
R-rewind
F-fast forward
Esc-Back
I also tried using the PS3 remote paired with a bluetooth dongle. The functions that I can access are up,down,left,right and enter. There is no button to go back to the previous menu. I just think that a wireless mouse is still essential to access the other functions.
Thanks jojitb for starting this thread to help us share our experiences with this HTPC application. :D

To use your PS3 Bluetooth remote with XBMC in windows, follow this guide:
http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33806&highlight=ps3
I assure you, once your get your remote properly setup, you will seldom need to use your mouse. the arrow keys should let you go forward/backward without needing to use your mouse.

Bro, there are other movies where their info aren't downloadable from imdb. I wanted to paste even the cover arts only on the folders with non-dowloadable info. Can you just manually get a jpeg file from your hard drive and "paste" it in the movie folder?
-
I tried this before on the XBMC for xbox1 and I think it should also work for xbmc for windows.
Just get the jpg file of the movie and save it within the same folder as that of the movie itself. Also rename it to the same filename as that of the movie...
e.g. Ironman.avi ---> jpg cover art should be Ironman.jpg

If you want all of the contents, thumbnails, fanart, info about the movie, while using XBMC, just put your mouse pointer to the desired title then right click. You can select Set Content or Information to download these from the net. Select IMdB as your source.
If you want individual thumbnails/cover art only on your folders without the other movie info, this is what you do:
Turn off XBMC then on Windows-->Start-->Right click My Computer-->Explore-->Tools-->Folder Options-->Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types-->OK
I download the cover arts from www.dvdempire.com. Just look for the title that you want on Search then click until you get the full size of the front cover art then you can just download it. Once you have downloaded the cover art jpg file, replace the .jpg file extension to .tbn. Out will come a window that the file will be unusable. Just check ok.
Then put the .tbn file in the folder where your movie file is. Example: If your movie title is in Movies folder, open it and just place the .tbn file in the Movies folder. Just make sure that the file name of your movie title is exactly the same as the file name of your .tbn file. Example: Terminator.mkv (movie file), Terminator.tbn (thumbnail file).
Do this with all of your movie titles. Most probably your Movies folder would be composed of a mixture of .mkv or .avi and .tbn files.
Go back to XBMC, then go to your library, voila...hope this helps. ;)

I agree. It was fun for me using MPC because of the slider. You don't have to watch the whole movie and can just watch selective parts which is very convenient with my schedule. This is also essential for demo purposes. I missed this with XBMC.
We were spoiled with MPC when we were using it and wouldn't revert back to DVD days when you have to fastforward or time search a particular scene.
The best that we can do with XBMC is use the bookmark function. Other than that functionality is as good as our DVD players sans the physical discs.
It's just a toss between form factor and function. Hoping for a future Media Center program with the slider. Sarap nun!

Nerveblocker do you notice any slight stutter (it's almost no big deal really - except that MPC is very smooth) on 1080p contents with your Quad Core 6600?
If none, then that means my slight stutter issue can be solved by simply upgrading my C2D E6600.
If yes, then the CPU processing requirements are very high indeed.
Other than that, XBMC is truly fun to use.
-
you can check if it is really your processor that's causing the stuttering by pressing o (the letter o) while playing. It should show you information like cpu usage, frames dropped etc. If you are getting frame drops then your proc. may be the culprit.
xbmc is still in beta so there are still a lot of work to be done in terms of processing efficiency.
You can also try out the latest SVN versions of XBMC as a lot of updates have been added to it.

Slight stutters were evident but is not much of a bother when I was playing Aeon Flux 1080p on my Athon X2 5000. I am not a fan of 1080p contents anyway coz my gears aren't really made for native 1080p files. If I was to download some files, I'd still choose 720p- faster to download, less hdd space consumption.
The Quad core is not the one connected to the AV room though. But I might try viewing a full hd video later just to check.
MPC still is the best for 1080p contents. A packaged Media Center still is no contest against a standalone player. Parang a 5MP cellphone lang yan compared to a 5MP digital camera. :D

Actually, the CPU resource usage is not really high even for MPC and KMP and XBMC. My Pentium-D machine barely reaches 30% CPU usage, yet it can't handle high bitrate (higher than 10MB/sec) contents. A C2D at the same CPU usage level is perrfectly fine with MPC but not necessarily with KMP or XBMC. It seems that certain software players are more efficient in utilizing the available power of the hardware.

Thanks for sharing information on this media center... Very nice.... 2 Thumbs Up!!

Can I use this software to maximize my video playback using only PDC T2310 running at 1.46Ghz, with 2gig memory, GMA x3100 at VISTA Home Premium?
Can my system handle at least 720p sources?
Or just forget it.
Thanks
it should be able to handle 720p with small hiccups now and then, use vga btw :)

i think ill settle with the cdrking presenter and cdrking ps3 mini keyboard...
magkano nga ulit yung ps3 keyboard? :D
even though nobody showed interest in my suggestion (Cdrking PC remote),
I will still suggest that you try it out. It is only 450 pesos anyway.

here's the remote that i got for my XBMC HT-Laptop.
also tried the GPU acceleration in MPC. 1080p (transformers 12gb) performance was not good. lots of stuttering and audio-video out of sync.no problems with 720p though. disabled multiple H.264 codecs (ffdshow and cyberlink).my suspected culprit for this i think was the outdated video drivers.
laptop spec was.
Dell Inspiron 1720
Core2Duo T7250 @ 2ghz
2gb DDR2
8600m GT 256mb DDR2
5400rpm 1TB samsung thru e-sata
reverted back to CPU accelerated video and everything came back to normal.

Customizable ba yung Video player ng XBMC? Mediaportal kasi has an option of using an external player so you have option kung KM or MPC or internal player lang.

Bro, is this remote IR or RF? What is the range? Is it fully functional with XBMC without the need of a mouse anymore? I am interested. TIA :)

XBMC has its own media player. I don't think you can toggle with different players.

Standard builds/version of XBMC only supports its built-in player (Mplayer) but there is a user-hack available to do what you want. Although I haven't tried it yet.

this is IR
I can do "almost" anything with this remote. Although there are things that would be faster if you use a mouse, like setting up video sources.
But for basic movie playing, ff, rewind, pause stop, go to music, got to videos, pictures, etc. this is great. Isang pindot, ayos!
the left/right arrow keys will skip backward/forward by 30 sec (estimate ko lang) and the up/down by 10 minutes. This will minimize your need for a slider.
the green button will even shut down the pc. I've also mapped one of the unused keys to start/shutdown XBMC itself.
Basically I have mapped it similar to the keys in the XBOX remote
(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/cf/ef/f3899833e7a04c7ed02d2110._AA220_.L.jpg)
These functions were done through eventghost. http://www.eventghost.org/wiki/EventGhost:About
This program is great. You can automate almost anything you want in your PC.
Momay's remote looks to be even better. But it is not available here locally, I think.

According to xbmc...
XBMC (formerly named "XBox Media Center") is a free and open source (GPL) media-player and entertainment hub. XBMC can play a very complete spectrum of of multimedia formats, and featuring playlist, audio visualizations, slideshow, and weather forecast functions, together with a multitude of third-party plugins. Originally developed as XBox Media Player (XBMP) for the first-generation Xbox game console in 2002, XBMC have eventually become a complete graphical user interface replacement for the original Xbox Dashboard, and it is currently also being ported to run natively under Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating-system. This, The XBMC Project is also known as "XBMC Media Center" or simply "XBMC").

question....
for example paano kung yung mga movies, music and pictures ko ay nasa external HDD lahat then dito ko sa ofc nagdodownload ng mga movie info sa imdb nagupupdate automatically ng mga poster thumb plot cast at kung ano ano pa then pag dinala ko yung external HDD ko at kinabit sa pc ko sa bahay automatic na ba maloload yung mga settings album art, posters, thumbs, casts etc. na ginawa ko sa ofc?
kung hinde pwede may iba bang paraan para ma embed sa folders yung ibang infos kasi sa pagkakaintindi ko pag nag manual add ka na by folder isasama mo na dun yung mga jpg ng thumbs pwede pero kung automatic sa imdb ginawa mo mukhang hindi yata pwede palipat-lipat ng pc...

Hi Guys,
Question lang... how did you address the "video tearing" issue? ??? there are lots of them especially on fast scenes.. also lots of frame drops... for now I'm using MPC-HC 0-frame drops and no tearing issues (FLAWLESS) ;D ... at first there was tearing (on MPC) but i was able to tweak the settings to remove them. Guys help naman... sayang yung GUI nung XBMC kung di ko sya ma-maximize... by the way just this moring i was able to remove tearing on XBMC, but frame drops are still many and video stutters...
Heres the given:
AMD X2 5000
780G Mobo
1Gbx2 Ram (1Gb shared for video)
XP SP2
Drivers are upto date...
MKV files 720p (4GB & 8GB sizes)
-
Meron ngang tearing sa mga fast-paced scenes kaya pag mga 1080p and action 720p movies I just use MPC.
Pero I heard that ffmpeg has experimental patches to use HW acceleration for decoding. Pag ginamit na sa XBMC it baka mawala na yun mga problema na yan.

Thanks for the info... so ngayon it means inherent pa sa XBMC ang video tearing specially on 1080p and 720p... sana magawan nila ito ng paraan as soon as possible... MPC for the mean time...

sadly this only works on MPC-HC.

XBMC for "exploring" whats inside my hard drive - when deciding which one to view.
For actual playback, MPC and KMP mas maganda.

this remote needs HID-Generic Eventghost plugin instead of MCE. Plus if you need to use almost all buttons you also need to activate the keyboard plugin.

I wonder if XBMC is actually better than Media Portal (http://www.team-mediaportal.com/)?
-
I am using Media Portal. I don't know which is better. For me, I have able to maximize the use Media Portal. ;)

i think i already texted nerveblocker about this but xbmc performed better than my trusted kmplayer and mpc when i played band of brothers 1080p (hddvd .mkv ripped) .. kinda weird though .. :D
-
Media Portal is only 28MB as compared to XBMC's 80MB but the screenshots and the skins looks promising. Tried downloading and installing it in my PC. When running the program for the first time, it requires Framework 2.0 which you need to download and install. On installation, there were some configuration such as loading of DirectX, etc. which really took a long time then the program hanged and crashed. :P XBMC is easier to install.

doc do you have kmplayer or classic media player installed? do you have a copy of band of brothers (1080p hd-dvd ripped)?
your answers will prove my theory right ;D

Hmmmm... bro, i have not encounter problems in installation. Tried XBMC but I still prefer Media Portal. Medyo heavy sa CPU loading ang XBMC and it is affecting heavy 1080p playbacks. Unlike Media Portal very easy ang playbacks, no problem at all kahit heavy 1080p mkv files, kayang kaya. Skin can also easily changed.

OT lang po...(tried reading from page po pero di ko po ma-gets ang iba)
Pasensya na po sa threadstarter
Tried downloading XBMC and it works fine with my music (mp3s-improved sound quality) and photos po. I have encountered certain challenges :
1) I dont know what to press para full-screen sya.
2) It can only detect movies in my VCDs. Ni-try kong mag-play ng DVDs di nya ma-detect..why oh why...
3) May mga additional softwares po ba ako na dapat i-download?
4) Ang basa nya sa CD writer ko DVD rin..eeek! ;D
5) Di nya ma-detect ang DVD ko po pero kapag sa CD ko po nade-detect nya.
6) Has anyone encountered napuputol ang interent connection nila after installing the XBMC?
esep-esep pa po ako..
TIA for any response.

sa basa ko po dito.. similar ang xbmc sa windows media center? so if i already have windows media center.. hindi ko napo ito kailangan..? thanks

Doc Nerveblocker, ung sa XBMC, kailangan nasa isang folder lang lahat ng movies para lumabas sya na tulad nung nasa screenshot mo, right? After ko nilabas sa mga folder ung movies, saka sya gumana, kaso hindi ko na ma modify ung ibang movies na walng thumbnail, nawala ung option :(
Meron bang option para makapg lagay ng thumbnail sa Windows Media Center? ???
-
^ Bro deo, sa XBMC pede mo lagyan ng thumbnail yung folder name itself instead of the movie.
sa WMC hindi ko pa natry ung mga thumbnails eh.

May YM ka?
niwei, AFAIK irename mo lang ung thumbnail jpg to the folder name.
e.g. folder name = Hellboy2 --> so ung thumbnail/jpg should be renamed to Hellboy2.tbn tapos same ang file location ng folder at nung *.tbn file.
Pag reopen mo ng XBMC it should display that folder with a thumbnail.

Yap, ganyan din ung ginawa ko before. Gumana nung ni ginamit ko ung "set content" -> imdb. then ni refresh ko. Sa windows media center naman ginagamit nya ung "fan art" file as thumbnail...
thanks.

does it have anything to do with the sound problem? pag naka disable ung dts at dolby sa xbmc ok naman, 2ch nga lang. but if either of them is on, mag pplay mga 1-2secs tapos hang na ung movie. thanks again!

Hi Guys,
This is regarding my earlier post (on page 3) regarding "video tearing".... Finally I was able to remove it, no more video tearing and frame drops.... I just turned on (always on) the "wait for V-sync refresh" under 3d settings of the ATI control panel options (I'm using the 780g chipset, and I think this goes the same for nvidia chipsets)... no more tearing for 720p videos... i even tried a 1080p video and still no tearing.... I was very happy... now I use XBMC more than MPC and KMP....
Also my HDTV (samsung LA22A450 series 4) now shows that the video is at 1080p/i (Just Scan option on set is now available) while using XBMC (MPC and KMP only uses the monitors set resolution)... XBMC has a screen option under appearance setting so you can set it to different resolutions like 1080i, 1920x1080, 720p, 480p, 720x480... and many more.... I set mine to 1080i since my monitor is cable of 1080i....
may problem nanaman ako :P pag naka set ung audio hardware ko sa digital ->dts & dolby, nag hahang ung movie at hindi tumutuloy mag play. pero pag tinaggal ko ung option ng dts & dolby sa option, ok naman..kaso 2 channels lang :(
I also experience this... but I think you should only select this if you are using SPDIF, otherwise select analog.... in analog you can still have 5.1 ch... check your settings under windows audio properties.... XBMC is using windows default audio...
This is currently my problem with XBMC... because I keep on switching audio hardware... while MPC and KMP can easily switch between them. I hope XBMC can include this option on the next update....
Sorry for the long post... just sharing...
-
same problem here after 5-10 sec naghahang na im using optical out of emaxx 790g chipset running on vista.
how do i deal with this? i have no analog connections so i use spdif via optical to receiver, one of the post above suggest to use analog.
tama ba pagkaintindi ko:
xbmc= i will select analog or stereo only (not dts or dolby)
windows = spdif
kaya lang paano kung dts un mkv ko sayang naman. baka may iba pa paraan...
-
Sirs/Madam:
You might want to try Media Portal. Very nice HTPC front end software. Been using it for a while and seems much better than XBMC. ;)
-
When using XBMC I noticed while watching that the movie freezes in about half a second then it goes fastforward for a second for around maybe 3-5 times during the whole movie. There is no overall AV sync problem but is just gets annoying when this happens. I don't notice this in MPC or Zoom player. I am using the onboard graphics of my ASUS MOBO via HDMI. I notice this during 720p, 1080p mkv playback and even in DVDs.
Do I need to buy a dedicated Graphics card or is it the software itself? TIA :-\
-
Hi doc! long time no hear ahh..
I would assume it is on the software itself because XBMC uses its own codec so it does not utilize the strengths of the onboard graphics card but rather depends on the CPU power. If possible, you can try it on your other rig(quad-core rig) and see if the freezing still occurs.

I also encounter this problem. And I would say that it is really annoying. Everytime I turn on DTS, there is a sudden fastforward. I played all my MKV to find out what causes the problem and I noticed that this only occurs in DTS audio and not in DD. I'm not using XMBC though but MPC that is why I think it is not a player issue. Btw, I have a dedicated GeForce 9600 GT video adapter.

guys... i have an htpc sa room ko... the problem is only i can watch my movies... i want to share it to everyone sa house... so anytime they can access my movies..
is there an easy way to do it?
plan ko to make a low power pc.. like an atom ion and ilalagay ko sana sa isang tv set... para permanent yun dun.. naka-on 24/7 parang nas sa loob ng bahay.. and nakasetup siya ng xbmc for that set of tv....
dun ko nadin ilalagay hd ko kung nasaan ang aking mga movies..
then.. yung htpc ko sa room... ay makiki nood nalang dun sa low power ion pc na yun... so will everyone's pc in the house
i thought medyo magastos if i built htpc for everyone in the house so plan ko just to install xbmc on their notebooks and... letting them able to connect to the low power atom ion pc..
will this setup be reliable? na dumadaan nalang sa wifi lahat...
currently my router is a wrt54g... wifi g router... will its speed be enough to watch 1080p movies?
pag setup ko po ng xbmc sa htpc ko and sa laptops ng mga tao sa bahay... do they have to download fanart isa isa? or pwede parang nakatap lang sila sa main atom-ion pc and andun nadin galing lahat na fanart etc etc..
please help thanks

I was able to play BD ISOs in XBMC using PowerDVD10 as my external player. Here are the instructions if anybody is interested:
I try to give you a more detailled description of what you have to do, to play Blu-ray discs and iso-files using PowerDVD:
1. Create a new folder on drive C:, name it 'For_XBMC', DON'T use whitespaces, use underlines instead!
You should now have a folder 'C:\For_XBMC'.
2. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create a batch file, that will be used to play Blu-ray discs using Power DVD. It should only contain this single line:
"C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe" /fullscreen e:
If the drive letter of your Blu-ray disc drive is not 'E:' and/or PowerDVD was installed into another directory, change the line above accordingly. Be sure to enclose the path in double quotes. Save the file into the previously created folder, name it 'PlayBD.bat'.
You should now have a file 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat'.
3. Insert a Blue-ray or DVD into your optical drive, wait a few moments, if PowerDVD starts via windows autoplay, quit PowerDVD. Now double click the previously created PlayBD.bat. PowerDVD should start now, playing the BD/DVD. If yes, proceed to the next step, otherwise double check the path and driveletter in 'PlayBD.bat'.
4. Check which drive letter is assigned to Virtual CloneDrive. (You can do this by double clicking an *.iso-file in the Windows-Explorer.)
5. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create another batch file, that will be used to play Blu-ray iso-files using Power DVD. It should contain these three lines:
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe" /fullscreen f:
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 /u
If the drive letter of Virtual CloneDrive is not 'F:' and/or PowerDVD was installed into another directory, change line 2 accordingly. If VirtualCloneDrive was installed into another directory, change the pathes in lines 1 and 3 accordingly. Be sure to enclose all pathes in double quotes.
Save the file into the previously created folder, name it 'PlayBDiso.bat'.
You should now have two files: 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat' and 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBDiso.bat'.
6. For testing purposes, reopen PlayBDiso.bat and replace the %1 (at the end of the first line) with the path to one of your Blu-ray iso-files, e. g. "C:\Movies\The Lord Of The Ring.iso".
Now the first line of PlayBDiso.bat should look similiar to
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 "C:\Movies\The Lord Of The Ring.iso"
Leave lines 2 and 3 unchanged. Save the file into 'C:\For_XBMC\', name it 'Test.bat'. Double click 'Test.bat', the iso-file should now play in PowerDVD. If yes, congratulations, halfway there . If no, double check all pathes and the use of double quotes.
7. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create or modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in the userdata directory.
IMPORTANT!!! DONT'T modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in the XBMC program directory (e. g. 'C:\Program Files\XBMC\system\playercorefactory.xml')!!!
You MUST create/modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in your userdata directory (running Windows 7, this is 'C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\use rdata'), with <YOUR_USERNAME> being your user name
It should contain these lines:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PowerDVD (BD.iso)" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\For_XBMC\PlayBDiso.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
<player name="PowerDVD (BD)" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Blu-rays -->
<rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="PowerDVD (BD)"/>
<rule filetypes="iso" filename=".*BD.*" player="PowerDVD (BD.iso)"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
Save it in the userdata directory (see above), name it 'playercorefactory.xml'.
8. For testing purposes, open 'playercorefactory.xml' with InternetExplorer. It should open in IE with syntax highlighting, without any error messages.
9. Rename your Blu-ray iso-files using the naming scheme <NAME_OF_THE_MOVIE>.BD.iso, e. g. 'The Lord Of The Ring.BD.iso'
10. Run XBMC, Blu-ray disc and iso-files should now automatically be played using PowerDVD. Additionally the 'pay with...' context menu should now contain the menu items 'PowerDVD (BD)' and 'PowerDVD (BD.iso)' which you can use to manually play an optical disc or iso-file using PowerDVD.
I hope this could help someone.

Nice one Doc! Written like a real IT person! ;)
Might be usable for other external players too. Very helpful.

Just change the path of the source of your external player (MPC-HC, Total Media Theater) and you're good to go. No credit to me bro. Just did copy and paste. Worked for me...at last!!! Here's the SOURCE (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=65556&page=11). ;D

Wow this is nice, well try it out... thanks for sharing.. ;)

So far my XBMC setup is MPC-HC w/ ffdshow for mkv|avi and PowerDVD10 Ultra MarkII for BD ISO, BD, DVD ISO. Still using XBMC's internal decoders for m2ts files. (http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/16.gif)

I reverted back using PowerDVD10 for all my files. The MPC-HC's newest build had some fast forwarding issues when searching using the slider. :-X

Mga sirs,
Anyone using Dharma? I believe latest version now supports DXVA and no need for external player to take advantage of DXVA.
-
Mga sirs,

Yup presently using Dharma. The reason why I use external players is for the playback of BD ISOs and HD audio passthrough which XBMC has no support yet.

Thanks! HTPC is still the way to go. Fully customizable and can use different players for different kinds of files. PC parts are getting cheap nowadays and you can have a fully working HTPC without breaking the bank. You can upgrade any component in your PC without buying a new package. With the prices of BD-ROMs going down, you can add a little to have an all in one player. Install the right software and enjoy! ;D
Note: What I have posted is less than half of the available skins of XBMC. There are more to download and experiment. ;)
-
^SIR may i ask where did you download that skin if you dont mind? tia!
-
^The XBMC itself has a function of downloading skins
-
^SIR may i ask where did you download that skin if you dont mind? tia!
On XBMC, on Settings>Appearance, it shows the list of the default and downloaded skins available which you can easily click to activate. Then there is an option "Get More". Once you click this, it will show all of the available downloadable skins. Once you selected one, XBMC downloads it for you. After downloading, it will ask if it will install the newly downloadable skin. If not, it will be saved in the XBMC's database. Then you can download more skins that you prefer to save in your database.

i agree completely .....mas malakas nga lang sa kuryente
-
what do you use to control xbmc? remotes or mouse?
-
i agree completely .....mas malakas nga lang sa kuryente
The difference in electrical consumption would be based on how often you use your player. With my usual 1-2 movies a day, I wouldn't think there's much difference between my NMT and HTPC.

You can now use your Android device to control your XBMC machine by downloading and installing the Official XBMC Remote (http://xbmc.org/freezy3k/2010/07/13/official-xbmc-remote-for-android/) app
Tried it myself using my Galaxy S Android Phone. Fast response and trully amazing! ;D

Hi guys I just recently been trying XMBC out, my main use for my PC is for Music. I have backread mukhang pagn Movies maganda talaga gamitin ito? kasi di ko manavigate ng maayos pag Music, di ko magawan ng Playlist, kelangan per folder pa hehe.
Any links you know na may tutorial about managing Music? e.g. sa Zune Software maganda magmanage, di ko lang mapalabas sa SPDIF kasi kaya nagXMBC ako hehe anyway TIA.

Yup ok talaga sya specially with the option to use external players. Very easy to navigate and configure once you get used to it. With smaller TV displays ok na internal players but when I use it sa PJ I use PowerDVD. Better PQ talaga. You can also go for KMPlayer or MPC-HC as external players.

That looks nice! :)
I think that goes true with a dedicated video card. ;D
Though I do have a dedicated video board, I think this is also true for current-day integrated video. AMD has been stepping up its integrated video in the A6 and A8 models, making these great HTPC platforms --- and while Intel's HD 3000 may be a bit behind, I can say that it isn't bad at all.
PC video playback is just superior to consumer-level dedicated players because of the processing capability that's available (and because players like PowerDVD take advantage of this capability).
With an HTPC, I'm also able to somewhat correct for the inherent gamma issues in my Panny TVs, since the controls are far finer than what's available in BDPs (at least those that I've used).
-

Totally agree! With a dedicated video card, you can tweak settings even further without compromising the performance of your processor.
My comparison though in terms of PQ is just my PS3 vs. HTPC and definitely the latter had a distinct better output in my PJ. ;)

Yup! :) Though with processors these days, even full software postprocessing is normally not an issue (i3-class and higher processors). This might not be the case for slower CPUs.
I'm comparing PCs against the LG and Cambridge Audio BDPs that I own, and the Panasonic, Samsung, Harman Kardon, Yamaha and Oppo players that I've used.
-
I also love PowerDVD's 24Hz -> 60Hz conversion. It's clean and smooth without needing to customize the settings. This works great with my plasmas, as they cannot display 24Hz properly. My LCD does 24Hz properly, so I keep this off in that TV.
By the way, for those looking for a budget HTPC notebook (Samsung prefers calling it an "everyday" notebook), the Samsung NP305V4A-S02 is available for 28.5k in gilmore with some freebies. Downside is that you'd have to hookup an external BD-ROM drive if you want to do BDs. :)
The A6-3410MX should be capable enough for most HT tasks. It has 380% of the E350's compute capability, its HD6520G GPU boasts 320% of the HD6310G's capability, and the memory subsystem could have 300% as much bandwidth. That's just counting the internal graphics of the APU, but this Samsung model has dual graphics pa.
Specs:
AMD Fusion A6-3410MX Quad-Core APU
AMD Dual Graphics (HD6520 + HD6470)
14.0" Samsung HD LED 16:9 (1366x768)
4GB DDR3 RAM
640GB SATA HDD
Card Reader, GbLAN
Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit

I'll try your suggestions...
Can anyone point me to the right direction..
-I cant seem to find a guide on using external players from XBMC
Another thing, after messing around and clicked on Set Content and it updated, the "add Source" is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

does this means using other media players through XBMC. If so make sure you have everything on the right spot with right title and right location. Edit all of it at your user data folder, should be right here
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\XBMC\userdata
open playerfactory.xml with notepad.
I use mpc-hc as my extension so the code should be like this as where my mpc-hc located at. Take a look at this example.

I'll try your suggestions...
Can anyone point me to the right direction..
-I cant seem to find a guide on using external players from XBMC
Another thing, after messing around and clicked on Set Content and it updated, the "add Source" is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

Thanks Nerveblocker and Slaveknight.
Stayed up until 4am this morning trying to figure it out on my own ahaha ended up probably halfway done

I forgot to ask the name of the skin you posted above?

Just got me a CDRking PC remote:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h203/CaptainSwitch/SAM_0610.jpg)
it does work fine, however, Id love to configure all buttons to my specification. It seems the config file found on this link, Using your CDRKING PC Remote to control XBMC (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,89234.0.html), is no longer available.
Doing more research on how to fully customize the remote. Nkaka nosebleed yung eventghost hehehe
-
Try mo muna to identify the keypresses using "showkey.exe" found here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmce/files/ShowKey.exe/download)
Then you can use remapping tools like eventghost, intelliremote, or autohotkey to redefine your keys. I find autohotkey the most useful and easiest to configure specially if the remote's simply emulating keyboard presses.

I noticed that your remote doesn't have "start" , "info" and "clear". Those buttons are very useful in xbmc. Start is for the usual windows START button. Info is being used for the options Menu such as scanning for new content or Movie Information. And Clear is useful as exit when using an external player. My CDRKing remote has those buttons and no need to map them.

@nerveblocker
I was actually looking for the one you posted on one of the thread here... unfortunately, only two are available, the one I purchased and the other one which looks like the usual tv remote.
Inaway ko pa yung bantay, ni hindi lumilingon para tingnan, wala na agad ang sagot, same thing nung tanong ko din yung 90deg HDMI adapter, wala eh nasa likod lang nya...
Thanks for all the info...
Plug and play na rin naman, kaso yung GUIDE kapag pinindot, WMC ang bumubukas. Standby nman yung Power Off... so I really need to remap a few keys

^ @nerveblocker,
The rounded part of the remote is a mouse touchpad similar to laptops? How much does it costs and were u bought it?

Yup. Bought it from amazon for $16.45.

Toys4Geeks is selling this at the Marketplace. Here's the link (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,151498.0.html).

This remote @ amazon looks perfect for htpc needs. Does it need remapping pa or works out of the box? It's actually similar to cdrking TM-RC04 unit except that the cdrking remote doesn't have the directional keys and touchpad. The mouse movement are simulated through buttons. Using autohotkey, the directional keys can be reprogrammed through the mouse button. I've posted the scripts in the HTPC2 thread.
The keyboard is nice too though it doesn't work on bluetooth rather uses a wireless dongle which rides on the same frequency @ 2.4 ghz as with most wireless network router. Consequently might interfere with each other.
-
My remote doesn't need remapping anymore. Works well out of the box. Truthfully, I haven't tried any of the key remapping programs like Eventghost or Autohotkey. :)

sir im also using a cdrking remote. but not this model. I use eventghost my remote works like a charm almost all the function for xbmc are working.
Try eventghost sir just add a generic hid plugin and keyboard plugin and xbmc plugin now u can map the keys to xbmc.
As for the missing buttons you can use other buttons.
hope it helps.

Up ko lang yung thread... need your expert opinions and suggestion:
Current Setup:
Asrock A75M
A6-300
4gb RAM
Here is my assessment:
1. Love it
2. Napagana ko naman yung movie info thru IMDB
3. Madali ang interface straight forward
Here is my inquires
1. napansin ko pag 1080p yung palabas mabagal siya bakit?
2. paano macustomize yung xbmc ko tulad ng mga skins ninyo... napapalabas ko yung thumbnails but not like as good as your setups. plus san napupunta yung mga naaauto download ng xbmc?
3. build in player is good pero isa sa napansin ko parang mejo snowy siya and mamula mula yung mga tao... default setup pa lang ako takot ako magtweak kasi am still learning it.
hope you can help me with this one... not sure kung hardware issue ito kasi sa WMC ang bagal pero based naman sa HTPC setup recommended naman yung setup ko.... :(

Sir try these one
1. sir try mo use external player, MPC-HC then gamitan mo ng Reclock software, baka di nag sync
ang refresh rate ng VC at ng TV mo.
2. Regarding Skins, enable Library Mode you can choose kung ano klase display ang gusto mo
(dapat nagawa mo na mag "Set Content" then using TheMovie or IMDB scraper)
If you're referring dun sa MediaInfo, Fanart, Thumbnail.. na save sya sa userdata folder.. follow this link
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata, i suggest you do e"xport library" on separate folder for future
use.
3. try MPC-HC, Splash Pro

di ko rin mashado kabisado XBMC, gamit ko lang sya as GUI
then gamit ko MPC-HC as external player (by adding playercorefactory.xml)
You can try this package of player and filter, pero im not sure if it will work for you
a. K-Lite Codec Pack with MPC-HC player (Version 8.2.0 Full 15.8 MB)
http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_full.htm
b. Another great tutorial, many option depends on your system...
medyo kailanagn magbasa at nosebleed, follow the steps, you can dl reclock sofware here.

Try mo i-modify setting ng video card mo. Set it to have your applications control your video color... something like that. I use NVIDIA ION and its possible to tweak the settings there. Experiment mo na lang sayo bro. Good luck.

You may need to calibrate your "noise reduction" setting either through your ati or TV. HDMI is "more defined" than VGA so the tendency of the former to have grainier picture but clearer.

Not sure with ATI, kasi NVIDIA ION gamit ko. Baka pwede mo din ma-set sa player? Yung "alikabok" na nabanggit mo, pareho din as having pixelized display?

Bro right click on the movie file tapos click "Add to Queue". You can add as many titles as you want even from different folders. After queueing all, right click any movie file then click "Now Playing". You will see all the files in queue. Just click and play the first file and then tuloy tuloy na yan. I am still using Dharma but I am not sure if there is an easier workaround with the newer release. ;)

Anybody tried Splash Pro as external player for XBMC? I tried using it by editing the playercorefactory.xml and when I click a movie file in XBMC, the screen of Splash PRO opens but doesn't autoplay the movie. I was using PowerDVD as external player before without any problems.
Without XBMC, the files play right away in Splash PRO when I click on the movie file.

Thanks!

Reposting:
I was able to play BD ISOs in XBMC using PowerDVD10 as my external player. Here are the instructions if anybody is interested:
I try to give you a more detailled description of what you have to do, to play Blu-ray discs and iso-files using PowerDVD:
1. Create a new folder on drive C:, name it 'For_XBMC', DON'T use whitespaces, use underlines instead!
You should now have a folder 'C:\For_XBMC'.
2. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create a batch file, that will be used to play Blu-ray discs using Power DVD. It should only contain this single line:
"C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe" /fullscreen e:
If the drive letter of your Blu-ray disc drive is not 'E:' and/or PowerDVD was installed into another directory, change the line above accordingly. Be sure to enclose the path in double quotes. Save the file into the previously created folder, name it 'PlayBD.bat'.
You should now have a file 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat'.
3. Insert a Blue-ray or DVD into your optical drive, wait a few moments, if PowerDVD starts via windows autoplay, quit PowerDVD. Now double click the previously created PlayBD.bat. PowerDVD should start now, playing the BD/DVD. If yes, proceed to the next step, otherwise double check the path and driveletter in 'PlayBD.bat'.
4. Check which drive letter is assigned to Virtual CloneDrive. (You can do this by double clicking an *.iso-file in the Windows-Explorer.)
5. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create another batch file, that will be used to play Blu-ray iso-files using Power DVD. It should contain these three lines:
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe" /fullscreen f:
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 /u
If the drive letter of Virtual CloneDrive is not 'F:' and/or PowerDVD was installed into another directory, change line 2 accordingly. If VirtualCloneDrive was installed into another directory, change the pathes in lines 1 and 3 accordingly. Be sure to enclose all pathes in double quotes.
Save the file into the previously created folder, name it 'PlayBDiso.bat'.
You should now have two files: 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat' and 'C:\For_XBMC\PlayBDiso.bat'.
6. For testing purposes, reopen PlayBDiso.bat and replace the %1 (at the end of the first line) with the path to one of your Blu-ray iso-files, e. g. "C:\Movies\The Lord Of The Ring.iso".
Now the first line of PlayBDiso.bat should look similiar to
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\vcdmount.exe" /d=0 "C:\Movies\The Lord Of The Ring.iso"
Leave lines 2 and 3 unchanged. Save the file into 'C:\For_XBMC\', name it 'Test.bat'. Double click 'Test.bat', the iso-file should now play in PowerDVD. If yes, congratulations, halfway there . If no, double check all pathes and the use of double quotes.
7. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create or modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in the userdata directory.
IMPORTANT!!! DONT'T modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in the XBMC program directory (e. g. 'C:\Program Files\XBMC\system\playercorefactory.xml')!!!
You MUST create/modify the 'playercorefactory.xml' in your userdata directory (running Windows 7, this is 'C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\use rdata'), with <YOUR_USERNAME> being your user name
It should contain these lines:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PowerDVD (BD.iso)" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\For_XBMC\PlayBDiso.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
<player name="PowerDVD (BD)" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\For_XBMC\PlayBD.bat</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Blu-rays -->
<rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="PowerDVD (BD)"/>
<rule filetypes="iso" filename=".*BD.*" player="PowerDVD (BD.iso)"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
Save it in the userdata directory (see above), name it 'playercorefactory.xml'.
8. For testing purposes, open 'playercorefactory.xml' with InternetExplorer. It should open in IE with syntax highlighting, without any error messages.
9. Rename your Blu-ray iso-files using the naming scheme <NAME_OF_THE_MOVIE>.BD.iso, e. g. 'The Lord Of The Ring.BD.iso'
10. Run XBMC, Blu-ray disc and iso-files should now automatically be played using PowerDVD. Additionally the 'pay with...' context menu should now contain the menu items 'PowerDVD (BD)' and 'PowerDVD (BD.iso)' which you can use to manually play an optical disc or iso-file using PowerDVD.
I hope this could help someone.

I finally found the culprit:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="SplashPROEx" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\Mirillis\Splash Pro Ex\SplashProEx.exe</filename>
<args>/fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="SplashPROEx"/>
<rule filetypes="avi" player="SplashPROEx"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
...this is the corrected script......(sorry I copied a previous script for PowerDVD, my bad!!!)
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="SplashPROEx" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\Mirillis\Splash Pro Ex\SplashProEx.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="SplashPROEx"/>
<rule filetypes="avi" player="SplashPROEx"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Yup. When the external player starts you need a mouse kaya dapat yung PC remote mo has mouse function.

onga doc. Nga pala doc, HDMI lang ba connection mo between pc and avr? or separate ung sound sa video? Nag kaka problema kasi ako when switching audio...minsan i want to use the tv's speakers lang when watching..kaso when i turn off the avr.its either magiging rough na ung playback or no sound - kailangan pa i configure or minsan kailangan pa i restart ung pc mismo and its tedious. Iniisip ko i rekta na lang HDMI sa tv, then SDIF na lang sa AVR...your thoughts? ??? Thanks! :D

HDMI sa receiver lang but I have another setup na HTPC HDMI rekta sa TV. Pwede naman deretso HDMI sa TV but if you are using coaxial or optical for audio connected sa receiver, do kaya HD Audio. Oks lang sya sa DD and DTS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what I know is that not all HDMI receivers have this feature. Swerte nalang if your receiver meron. :-\

I think nagkakaproblema lang yung mga software if there is a new release. I am still using PowerDVD10 but there is always a window na lumalabas that it might not play the material because an upgrade is needed. It still plays pero nakakairita lang yung lumalabas. Same thing with my AnyDVDHD. Just downloaded and installed the newest version and ok na.

dapat nga yata pag walang problema wag iupdate / upgrade lalo lang nagkaka problema :D

@Sir Wildfire™,
Pa PM naman kung paano ginawa nyo sa Splash Pro Ex ;D. Blacklisted na rin yung serial na gamit ko :(. Pa-turo na rin kung paano mag-gawa ng script gamit SplashProEx as player ng XMBC.

Actually had a problem with my Splash Pro Ex and PowerDVD crashing. I know that Eden can already bitstream HD audio but the options weren't in when I downloaded it from the website. I got the XBMC 11.0 w/ HD audio from here (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=121877). You have to uninstall your present XBMC and install the downloaded XBMC and you will see these options in your Audio Settings.
I have tested it with an MKV with DTS-HDMA and Avengers BD ISO and works well. Presently, I am not using any external players anymore as XBMC can handle even Bluray discs. Just the movie though without the main menu. I am not a fan of special features anyway.

ah kailangan pala salangan ng codec. akala ko plug n play na ;D
PowerDVD, TMT, and SplashPRO Ex have their own codecs for HD audio. Yung MPC-HC and WMP lang kelangan pa ng external codecs.
Yung gusto ko lang sa XBMC without external players is that I do not need a remote with mouse capabilities anymore. Pwede na yung Android/IOS with XBMC app or my trusty Vista MCE Remote. ;D

Sony Corporation officially didn't include the OtherOS feature in the PS3 slim to cut on costs. Here's the source (http://www.osnews.com/story/22073). But of course, there is always a way which you can try...

Please elaborate on video quality. Try to play them with other media players and if the video quality is still unacceptable, it must be a bad encode or the source isn't really HD. Also check again your video settings in both the PCs control panel and XBMC. Make sure that you are using the right resolution for the display. You can also try updating your VC to the latest drivers. Is it outputted in a TV or PJ? The PQ of the internal player of XBMC is ok with my plasma but when I use it on my PJ, I'd rather use an external player like Splash Pro which has better video quality than XBMCs internal player.
-
Hi Bro Nerveblocker,
Not that its very bad just inferior. I tried the same video file and it has better pq when played via wmp. Same as the xbmc internal player, vlc also has inferior quality. I'm using a PJ btw. Maybe using splash pro might be the answer. how do i connect the splash pro to the xbmc?
Thanks

It's IP Address changes from time to time. From 192.168.1.103-106... I still have to edit the IP address setting of my XBMC Remote (iOS) every time I try to use it.
How can I make it FIXED?

kasi po naka DCHP ka o auto configuration.marami kayo gumagamit ng network kaya nagbabago palagi ang ip address mo.para po yang "first come-first serve basis" kung sinong unang maka log sa net,sya makakakuha ng 1st slot. so on and so forth.
ang gagawin mo lang ay gagawing STATIC IP.
if you're using windows, punta ka sa network and sharing setting at tapos sa network connection.piliin mo dun sa adapter kung naka LAN o wifi ka. tapos access mo TCP/IPV4 properties ng adapter.tapos gawin mo i-manual fill mo ang setting ng ip address,subnet at gateway para maging fixed na.

Isa ring problema ko with XBMC is yung sa pag change ng driver letter.
Yung movies ko nasa external. Drive (G:) then if i-insert ko yung isang drive, then ma change na naman to (H:) or (I:)... Tapos if i-edit source ko yung movies ko sa XBMC, ayaw na nyang ma locate kahit naka (G:Movies) na. Mag remove/refresh na naman ako. :(

kailangan gawin mong fixed din ang Drive ng hardisk mo.
#1-option dyan any dapat tandaan mo palagi kung saang port ng usb mo nilalagay ang drive mo
at bago ka mag run ng XBMC dapat naka load na ang hardrive.
#2-option--gamitin mo ang administrative tool (disk management) para ma-ifixed ang drive path ng hardisk mo.pwede ka mag assign ng letter drive from A-Z.

or you can check your router, baka may settings dun to assign that mac address with this ip address, yung zyxel p660 ng pldt has this feature, no need na to do static ip settings

luma na kasi yung pc ko.
core 2 duo

MSI R6570-MD1GD3/LP
MSI Platinum p3 yung Board.

Your PC should be able to handle 1080p MPEG-4 playback. Baka may ibang events running ka in the background that slow you down (Indexing, virus checking, hdd spindown, etc.)?
Try using another player din.

Yes mas maganda ang PQ ng splash pro than XMBC.

Definitely. It even has the "motionflow" feature or the "soap opera effect" even if your TV doesn't have it. Best is to use it as an external player in xbmc. That's my setup.

Looking to transform an 'old' PC into an HTPC running XBMC. Installed the software and saw that it can handle 'Live TV'. I'm using Cignal as my main cable source. Is it possible to have the Cignal feed into my PC if I buy a TV tuner or Cignal will only work if I use their cable box? Will XBMC support this or only US based cable providers?
Thanks in advance!

I updated to Frodo and I wanted to play my BD ISOs. I just want to extract the m2ts file of the movie so Splash PRO can play it. I need a script that works to mount the ISO in Virtual Clone Drive so it would show in XBMC as a disc. This way I can navigate to the m2ts file and play it. Problem is my scripts for the old versions of XBMC don't work anymore in Frodo. >:( .
When I click on the ISO file, a window pops out to choose to play main title, show bluray menus, choose file. Whatever I choose, XBMC still plays it.
What I do now is exit XBMC, mount the ISO file manually in VCD then go back to XBMC to play it via Splash PRO.
Any help would be appreciated. :)

Bro, where do you put your playercorefactory.xml and your BDISO.bat?
Sa Program Files/XBMC/system or sa Users/your name/App Data/Roaming/XBMC/userdata?
I placed both files sa former and the latter. SplashPROEx as external player works with the associated file formats but the bat file doesn't work with the ISO.

"Sans" (in French meaning without). ;D So I am just using XBMC to play the ISO. When I click the ISO file may choices: play main movie, choose file, play bluray menus. This is just using XBMC Frodo without external player. BTW, ayaw parin gumana ang bat file. >:( Pagdating sa ISO files, XBMC nalang muna nagplaplay kung tinatamad ako. Pwede rin naman PowerDVD 13 pero manual lang muna. :o
BTW, did you encounter any BD ISO file when played sa PowerDVD eh parang flashing lang ang PowerDVD na di tumitigil. Parang naghahang. I noticed that sa Ghost Protocol.

Hit or miss naman. Eto lang para sa mga pasaway na encoders. Used this yesterday when I downloaded Justice League Unlimited for my son. There were around 90+ episodes in one folder and the encoder just labelled them as e01-93. I didn't know it was divided into 5 seasons pala. This came in handy. ;)

Another freeware I discovered is Bulk Rename Utility (http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php). I noticed that all of my previous HDDs have saved fanart as moviename-fanart.jpg and the recent Frodo release reads the fanarts as fanart.jpg. Sometimes di lumalabas ang fanarts with the previous names so with the above software, it made life easier. ;D

What's the difference between WASAPI HDMI and Direct Sound HDMI in the Audio settings? I was using WASAPI the whole time until I encountered no sound from Ultimate Spiderman with AC3 audio. I tried other files that I played before--DTS, DTS-HDMA and with no problems. I just switched the audio settings to Direct Sound HDMI and ok na. Does this have something to do with Frodo as this is the first time I encountered no sound with a video file in WASAPI?

Based on IMDB which most probably is the source of your scraper, there is:
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)
Put the video files separately in folders labelled exactly as the titles above. Also rename your movie files in their respective folders the same name as the folder title and then the file extension i.e.
The.Twilight.Saga.Breaking.Dawn.Part.1.2011.mkv
The.Twilight.Saga.Breaking.Dawn.Part.2.2012.mkv
This way, XBMC would be able to identify your videos correctly.

Go to the interface of your router by typing 192.168.11.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your web browser. See if the port is forwarded. If not, here is a guide:

Yes. Remote works as a button pad. I can play movies. The error appears when I do not choose the remote and tap on the media menus like Music and Videos. Any of them.

Yes, I already did that and things with the Android remote running fine. I just have a bug with successive nav button inputs when I want to rapidly scroll the menus. It goes into a looped hyper scroll mode. I have to force exit each time. To avoid I just scroll slowly.
Xbmc PC sometimes goes to a wrong screen resolution. I have to tweak System Video settings again when it happens. I have not noted conditions when this happens because it doesn't happen all the time.

It also happened to me yesterday while I was using my android phone but I do not remember this occuring with my PC remote. It is an isolated incident though and I consciously try to navigate slower than usual to prevent it from happening again.
The wrong resolution in video settings hasn't occured to me yet. Btw, are you using Frodo?
-
Yes it is Frodo. Is there a physical remote that works with wifi? I really need all of the usb ports on my pc.

Sirs/Masters, pede po bang magtanong... I installed xbmc for the first time in my newly set up HTPC. The problem is that pictures/fanart is quite slow in rendering. Delay ang pasok ng mga posters and symbols?

Thanks inadvance.

sirs / masters, another thing hindi masyado maganda yung default video player ng xbmc. Can I change it to KMplayer or mplayer home cinema classic?

Eto gamitin mo sa metadata mo. Pero dapat yung mga file names ng media mo ay tama. Fully compatible sa XBMC. Pwede ka pa mag auto download ng movie trailer.
Advantage nito, lahat ng posters/image/nfo/trailers ay nasa directory ng movie files mo. Kahit magka problema XBMC mo, hindi ka na ulit mag dadownload ng posters/images etc after using media companion.
-
sirs / masters, another thing hindi masyado maganda yung default video player ng xbmc. Can I change it to KMplayer or mplayer home cinema classic?
Maganda player ng XBMC, baka hindi mo lang na setup ng maayos...can play HD files even high bitrates without stuttering. You can change skins to your liking.
-
Sir pede ba paturo ng setup or setting sa player? Medyo di maganda parang blurred ang dating ng movies.

Kung Intel HD ang videocard mo, punta ka Playback , Video settings at disable mo yung dxva2 hardware acceleration. Select Software as render method.
Sa audio output, system settings, use hdmi wasapi and check dts dolby etc if your av receiver is capable.

Sir pede ba paturo ng setup or setting sa player? Medyo di maganda parang blurred ang dating ng movies.
You can use an external player if you are not satisfied with the internal XBMC. Go to Program Files>>XBMC>>System>>playercorefactory.xml. Open playercorefactory.xml with notepad then edit it as follows if you are using MPC-HC as your external player. Just change the path and name in the script depending on what player you will be using:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv|wmv|avi|m2ts" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
You can add or remove any filetype depending on what your player can play. If it is not in the script, the default player will play it.
The disadvantage I can see with external players is the inability to use XBMCs internal player features like downloading subtitles on the fly, show plot while playing, etc. If using an external player, you will be forced to use a mouse to navigate. If you are using an HTPC remote, XBMC internal player is the way to go. But if you have a keyboard-trackpad/trackball combi then using an external player wouldn't pose a problem.

Actually initially if you are getting the data for your movies, matagal talaga as it will be getting info from your scraper (IMDB, Movie Database). Depende pa yan kung gaano kalaki ang drive mo and how many movies there are. I advise that you put each file inside a folder with the folder named as follows:
Name of Movie (year) Ex: Despicable Me 2 (2013)
You have to check with IMDB the exact filenames so you will be getting the right data. Also name your file with the same name as your folder. Ex: despicable.me.2.2013.mkv
The speed in updating your library also depends on your internet speed.
Once your library is updated, go to Settings>>Video>>Library then click export list. Choose Separate Names then choose Yes on fanarts. The data and posters will then be saved in each of the folders where your movie files are. So the next time you will update your library, XBMC will just get the data locally from the folders rather than getting all data from the internet.
-
Salamat po! Very nice support talaga dito.
-
I exported my list as above and now it loads fast. Thanks.
-
Even if all data has been stored in your individual folders, loading now would depend on the size of the drive and the number of files. Definitely a 1TB HDD woul load faster than a 2TB and so on.
Also try to disable automatic updating of library as you would find the navigation slower while your library is updating. You can just check movie information per file to update new files as the need arises.

I think what you are saying is the tearing of GUI. Default skin is not affected. If that is the case, then it is the Intel graphics driver problem. Try to use an older driver for the intel graphics or update to the latest driver from win 8.1 graphics driver.

Guys ano ba ang nangyayari kapag bumabalik sa default screen resolution and Systems settings ko? Occasionally I have to go into Systems again and adjust my video settings for the correct screen resolution. I do not remember what I did for those times the settings held and those times they didn't. Gusto ko sana each time bukas ng tv, tama ang video.

Tuwing kelan nangyayari to? Baka kelangan update mo yung drivers ng videocard. Nakadual display kaba? Yung desktop mo kamusta ang resolution?
-
Hindi ko pa na ooberve ano conditions when it happens. Dual display. Yung desktop ko is normal. I usually switch from desktop to exclusive external monitor. From laptop-->vga to composite box--->tv. Yung settings ng box hindi nagiiba. sa XBMC lang talaga nagdedefault na high res. Result is maling framing sa tv.

Yung connection ng TV composite? Hindi VGA or HDMI? Wala bang connection na VGA or HDMI TV mo? Kasi sana testing natin kung rekta at di dumaan sa VGA to composite box. 16:9 ba TV mo o 4:3?
-
Old school crt tv. No vga or hdmi. If it had then I won't be using the box. Anyway, I'll just have to remember conditions when the resolution goes default.

Windows 7 Dual Screens with Different Resolutions (http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/74713-dual-screens-different-resolution.html)

I got Microsoft Remote Desktop working from my Mac. I was able to see my netbook's desktop and work on it like a pc. However when I started XBMC it wouldn't launch. When I tried to run Foobar, it attempts to play on my Mac not on the netbook. Sayang I was hoping to control it remotely through my Mac. Server na lang sana yung netbook.
-
Use VNC instead of RDP. I currently use TightVNC viewer but unfortunately it does not run on Mac. Try this one instead >> http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5760-vnc-viewer.html (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5760-vnc-viewer.html)

Looks like Teamviewer is a skin for standard MS Remote Desktop. Same issues with RD. Xbmc cannot be launched remotely. Foobar looking for DAC settings like it wanted to run on my client rather than the pc server.

Sir you can set where the audio will play, in window based pc or mac, under RDC, Preferences, sound tab. Im also using foobar in win pc via rdc in mac.
-
Where do I find RDC-Preferences?
-
Click RDC Menu, Top left of the screen, right side of apple logo.
-
Where is RDC Menu? On Mac, Windows? Which app? Sorry totally new to this.
-
Sorry my instruction is not clear. When you launch rdc in mac, new menu will show (mac) in the top left of the screen beside the apple logo. Preferences would be under the RDC menu.

I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App Store. There is no settings there expect gateway and screen resolution. What is RDC?
Edit: Looks like it is a different application. Does XBMC launch with RDC?

-
I might be using a different version, i'm using Microsoft remote desktop connection but it came from the "office for mac" installer.
-
Haven't tried xbmc but videoLan definitely launch via rdc, i will let you know later when i get home.
-
I got sound working using the MS Remote Desktop app from the app store. I found the settings for sound. Foobar works remotely. However XBMC still fails to launch.
-

Plex. For me, far better than XBMC for Mac's
-
@Gino
Positive, XBMC does launch using Microsoft RDC.
-
Is it running on the pc or virtualized on the client?
I got XBMC running in Windowed video mode but it is running on my Mac rather than the pc. Sound goes to the pc and to my home system. But video doesn't get thrown to my tv since it is going to my Mac. It is running very laggy on my Mac.
Foobar runs fine. I got audio to work with the pc instead on my Mac.
-
upon checking it is only running on the client. The monitor attached to my HTPC stays in the login screen although i'm already signed in in RDC and running XBMC.
-
Same here. I guess I can live with Foobar working remotely.

anyone know san nakakabili nung super liit na keyboard with touchpad? id like to use it sa xbmc. nagagandahan kasi ako dun sa refocus na skin but maximized sya for keyboard. hirap gamitin yung mouse remote ko.

After installing Nvidia GT610 replacing the HD6450 in my E350 machine, I was able to install XBMC with Zorin OS. Faster boot up time and seems to be more stable.

Sir are you using dual monitors? Usually the default is that the PC will take up the monitor with the lowest resolution and project the same resolution to the other monitor. Both monitors should have exactly the same resolutions so you won't encounter any problems.

gudam..ask lang po some help...when i try to play aac 5.1 on xbmc...sound become distorted especially when i boost the volume...any recommendation to fix the problem?thank you...

In System>>>Audio Settings>>>Audio Output Device, run through each setting and look for the one with a clean output. I had that same problem in HD Audio wherein I had a distorted/garbled sound.

Mga boss, I dunno if this is the right thread for this. But anyway,
I'm using XBMC on my main monitor, then extened it to my PC Monitor. My problem is that, when I'm playing a movie, and Facebook/browsing on the other monitor, the task bar wil show up.
How can I make XBMC on top of all windows including the Task bar? Or is it possible?

Sirs,
I'm in the process of building an HTPC, hardware is almost complete. It's based on an AMD A10-7850k APU using Gigabyte A88 mini-ITX motherboard. Just missing the casing and SSD that I ordered.
I haven't decided yet on the OS, I'm still leaning on using Windows 7 as I really don't like Windows 8. Windows 8 64-bit OEM OS however is much cheaper. I would like to ask if there are no issues using XBMC with Windows 8, and could you please share some tips or links on setting up XBMC. The HTPC I'm building will be almost 80% for media use only - movies and tv shows.
Thanks in advance.

As long as you all have the metadata of XBMC in all of your files, XBMC can organize it via genre in Movies.

Help with kodi
Ok so I'm new with this kodi thing
Here's my problem.
Every time I turn off my minix and turn on again to play kodi, it's says file not in the library. Something like this
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160119/769b588132502b61b94889f1c7a7a058.jpg)
I have to delete library and do the whole process again. Then it plays. But when I restart my minix, same thing. But I can play my movies if I go to the files. But I want to play it using the posters.
One reason I can think of is when I add video, my external hard name is not there. It's not in the external storage. It's located in the folder root, sub folder, storage and sunbfolder udisk01. My movies are there. I can't locate the name of my external hard drive. Maybe that's the problem.
Help
-
punta ka sa administrator tools, then computer management.storage, then disk management.
now, connect all external hard drive. check mo kung nag appear lahat ng external hardrive.
ito ngayon gawin mo.
right click mo ang 1 sa ext. hard drive then change mo ang drive letter para permanent na sya every time na mag connect ka. mas maganda kung start ka sa letter "Z" tapos pababa ang letra para walang conflict pag nag connect ka ng bagong usb drive o temporary usb drive. ang bilang nman nyan ay pataas.

I'm not sure if there's a discussion on this thread regarding TV channels and access to online movies (sorry too lazy to back read), but most of the discussions are regarding setting up the movie library that are on one's personal collection. I just wanted to share some new tips I discovered with the Kodi installed on my newly acquired HiMedia Q10 Pro Android media player that is also applicable to Kodi (previously XBMC) on your HTPC's. The new items I've learned would allow you to have access to live TV and recorded TV programs from almost all the popular networks - Fox, HBO, HGTV, CNN, etc. This is a good option to cut your cable or avoid paying premium to your cable subscriptions.
I would not get more on the details on how to install as more detailed explanations are available on Google. On "Video" install add-ons from Exodus and Metalkettle, and from there you can install other add-ons and access to the different TV networks I've mentioned above (even adult channels are available via the different add-ons). The good thing is that almost all the channels I've accessed are HD quality, and considering that my DSL is only up to 8Mbps, the channels are playing smoothly. I'll try to add more details on this post when I have time, but it's highly recommended to have this add-ons because some of the available channels are not even available on local cable. I'm very much enjoying the HGTV channel.

You can use Exodus, LiveMix, or individual add-ons for each channel. Main thing is install Metalkettle repository and Fusion. Just Google it and it's very easy to follow. One really good thing is that these are mostly HD quality. Below are some links containing instructions for reference -
