How do i go full screen?
Why is external subtitles .srt displayed in the middle of the screen and not on the bottom?
And why doesn't Library Mode in Video don't work? How do i set it up? I want it to search online for icons/thumbnail/description of movies/tv shows.
1) read the Readme.Linux
2) calibrate the screen
3) read the manual

Hi there
Is this directory banned from copy as i want to try out the Aeon skin
usr\share\xmbc\skin
When i try to extract it to that directory it gets a checkdir error and there is no copy and paste allowed in that directory.
you may have to alter your folder permissions.

When i go to Properties --> Permission it says:
"You are not the Owner, so you can't change these permissions" But i am the owner?
do it as root from the cli via sudo. google is your friend.

Why is the Library Mode disabled and why can't i access the context menu by pressing c?
there's a content check in the skin which disables the Library button if the Library is empty. If yuo've not scanned anything, the button will be greyed out.
and i dont use the keyboard. is C the correct character for the context menu? and i think you have to be focused on the list to invoke the context menu.

its the key next to right ctrl. Hilight the folder you added as a source and then push the key. Right click should also work.

The default is the "Menu" key, which on a windows keyboard is generally next to the windows key (it's the popup menu key).
It's also the RIGHT mouse button on a list item.
If you don't have said key you can remap it as follows. Add this:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<c>ContextMenu</c>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
to a text file, save it as "Keymap.xml" and put it in your userdata directory (~/.xbmc/userdata)
Cheers,
