RE: [OT] XBMC AVI Playback

["Neil Frost" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Simon... A very big snap...

I bought an Xbox, upgraded to XBMC last night, tried to play an mpg (Timone
& Pumba - Don't ask) and it was very choppy....

Music plays fine.

Then my ADSL went down until some time this morning (you're not on PlusNet
by any chance?)

Can anyone recommend the best version of xbmc that does the most things
really well?

Thanks
Neil

So after all the recent conversation, I've bought an XBOX, and
installed XBMC last night.

Does anyone have problems playing downloaded TV content? I'm not sure
what the exact codec is, just playback of '24' for example is choppy.
I'm also streaming from an SMB share on another PC, if that is a
factor.

Can anyone confirm that it should play these files?

Can anyone confirm that playback from a shared folder shoudl work well?

I didn't get a chance to do a lot of testing last night, my ADSL went
down, and without google it seems I have no brain.

Thanks

Simon
