krrr Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 @davilla, hehe, let me rephrase , " Whats been popular among users? Boxee or XMBC? " I enjoyed my first day with both xmbc (not that much) and boxee ( many hours ). I have to say Boxee looks the winner but i wish it had skin function like XMBC has , Marcel Boxee's developer has said in his forum he will try to do that in next version . Still , i wish XMBC worked full-screen on my tv (Bravia 720p res) . it works in windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davilla Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 XBMC/Boxee -> depends on if you want a media center or a social media center. Both have good points depending on what you want to do. I tend so spend most of my time under xbmc but then I'm also the xbmc dev that did the 10.4/AppleTV work xbmc -> settings -> resolution -> screen (change to the settings that says FullScreen) to change from windowed to fullscreen mode. For XBMC help -> xbmc forums at http://xbmc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=56 For Boxee help ->http://forum.boxee.tv/forumdisplay.php?f=13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krrr Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Ya davilla, i just saw you on xbmc forums too Good work man , i really appreciate . and yes i quickly figured out the change to full-screen too after i posted. just didnt bother updating here. I even loaded the AEON skin and its one AMAZING stuff. i am blown away. but now. i suddenly see XBMC is not playing avi's properly. it kinda is stuttering now , as if appletv cant handle it. When i switched to Boxee (which is alpha) , it played the SAME files totally smooth and fast FPS. i wonder how can i solve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davilla Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 make sure the software upscaler is not enabled. It takes too much cpu to run on the AppleTV. I think settings -> video -> something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krrr Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 System / Video / Player / High Quality Upscaler << I stupidly turned it on and thats when problem started. i have disabled it now and all is back to normal , someone @ XBMC told me this . (krieg i guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
