Topic: HTPC Front-end Software: The XBMC Thread

[lmerb]

Just got me a CDRking PC remote:



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, is no longer available.

Doing more research on how to fully customize the remote. Nkaka nosebleed yung eventghost hehehe

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.

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

sir try this link. it works for me. just the download the installer and install.

Thanks sa input.... It wasnt really as complicated as I initially thought it was... konti lang pala ang dapat gawin/

for some reason, I suddenly saw through the thingy.

Used the default XMBC config. and added some to personalize it

[klpangan]

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

Will try it tonight... thanks for the suggestion

[omsky]

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?

Music Geek was referring to using it and adjusting it to your preference (tuning Denoise and Mosquito Noise Reduction features).

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.

XBMC 11.0 Eden is out.

I loaded this and tried it out ... IMPRESSIVE.  I may just give using a HTPC another try.  My worry though is the remote.

Using one of those CDR-King remotes, I have one somewhere, what skill would be best to use?

sir i'm using a logitech k400 wireless keyboard with touchpad.. if you're using an android device, i think they have an app also so you can use it as a remote.
