However, when you apply a custom skin in OSXBMC, the application hangs on exit. Or at least the desktop doesnt show anymore. Only way to get the desktop back is to reboot the machine. The secondary screen is normal and I have the primary screen set to fullscreen.

Other than that, please continue…excellent software!

I don’t really use the inbuilt mic support as I have the Xbox hooked up to an amp which has mic inputs – so no issues with delays.

I’m using an Apple wireless keyboard, and except for having to learn what each button does, it’s working like a charm.

My own preference is to be able to leave my TV off and control my music listening through an iPod Touch or iPhone interface. There are a few projects about, but nothing stable or polished yet.

Elan could possiblemake it optional to disable the in-loop deblocking filter via FFmpeg’s “skiploopfilter” as it is under Mplayer by using the commandline parameter vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all

Beside the sideefect of causing worse visual quality (as no in-loop deblocking is done) it can also have the effect of causing color artifact and such.

is it possible to implement to launch external player in xbmc osx? In the context menu, there is a “Playing with” option which is not implemented, i’ve got only one choice which is internaldvdplayer even if i changed the guisettings.xml.

Since coreavc released it player, this one is the best one to play 1080p without dropped frames and very smoothly especially with core duo mini…

Is anyone having issues with XBMC retaining scraper settings in Library mode? I have to keep setting it up and then it seems to lose it’s settings on the next run.. I’m going to trash my /Application Support/XBMC folder to see if this helps..

Anyways, thanks again and keep those updates coming..

PS. You should talk to Apple to see if you can get some kind of kickback on all the Minis being sold just to run this..

Yes we all use the tuner for volume, but if we don’t have a universal remote that can control both I for one would rather just one remote. Giving some volume control on the mini remote would mean I don’t have to have a pile of remotes in front of me.

(is there a good universal that will work with this?)

@macdim: -1 point for using Pastebin instead of Pastie. +5 for pasting a usable crash report. Consider it fixed in the next release!

Thanks for all the great work!

Perhaps we could compromise and have a setting, or change it via a config file?

This is the kind of thin that should be discussed in the forum.

I’m sure there will be more and more maturity in the remote support in future releases.. but wanted to say it is looking very promising.

@fobis, I am also noticing the bug were entering the system settings menu seems to disable the functionality of the menu button on the remote, meaning I have to plug in a keyboard or ssh in and kill XBMC to get back to the main menu.

I set up different OSXBMC buttons for each remote and added them to the buttons that seemed most logic to use on my Logitech Harmony 890.

It works great and I doubled the number of buttons I have available.

I found a third Apple Remote also so I’m ready to scale up if nescesarry

The whole process is pretty straighforward.

You now have a trailer button when pressing Movie Info. It’s a great little feature to watch the trailers before choosing a movie to watch.

And the whole design aspect of this skin is just mindblowing. Nothing comes close in my opinion

I’ve nuked my preferences and reinstalled xbmc a couple of times and still no ISO support. But I figured out WHEN it broke for me. When I was able to mount my server drive via SMB directly in the app and not via an OSX mount.

Sure enough, when I mounted the folder manually in finder and then opened XBMC to the folder, iso’s played perfectly. When I went back to the XBMC created SMB link, they went back to not playing.

I’ve double confirmed this on my machine, can anyone else check?

I can confirm that I could not play the .iso files until I deleted the XBMC directory from library\application support\ and let version 0.1.4 rebuild it. In fact, a lot of things didn’t work… I could not view JPEGs either…

BTW, regarding CDG files (Karaoke)… I am also hoping these become supported once again as they are in the current XBMC for Xbox. Regardless of whether you like Karaoke, it is just another great feature or XBMC… and I am hoping that the blinding processor speed of the Core 2 Duo compared to the Xbox Celeron will remove the delay that becomes just terrible as you add the voice filters. I suppose that if this feature is not implemented is the OSX/Linux branch, we could always use XBMC Program launching to launch an external Karaoke player… it would be a shame, though…

I just love XBMC… for every platform actually… just really glad that it is now on OSX. I was going to build a Linux box, but when I realized how much time it would take to screw around with it (I have played with Linux) I knew my wife would not be thrilled… since she enjoys XBMC on our Xbox…and loves our new Mac… it is an easy sell.

And she loves Karaoke…

I’m waiting on a bump on the cpu & graphic front to assist decoding of 1080p content.

I *think* my original xbox can hold on until the summer or at the latest next years Macworld…

Donate or Donate not. There is no “soon”.

If you’re thinking of donating go ahead and do so (you may also split donation to give some love to the XBMC project itself, too). There is no need to announce it beforehand (and, come to think of that, no need to announce it afterwards either).

Otherwise it sounds cheaper than it actually is.

I mean this in the best sense and without attacking anyone. We don’t yell in restaurants “Hey! I’m about to give you some tip! Really soon I’ll be putting money in the tip jar!”. This is similar.

This is obviously just my opinion as yet another visitor that has come and takes advantage of Elan’s work. Everyone is free to do as they wish.

I recommend you whack ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC and start fresh, and if you’re still having trouble, post a Pastie link to the xbmc.log.
