Hello,

I previously owned an Xbox with xbmc, then tried XBMC for OS 10.5.
I have a mac mini with os 10.5, then bootcamped it to Windows XP with all the drivers correctly setup. Installed xbmc Atlantis beta 2 for windows and mp3 or movies work fine, but the problem is this;

- whenever I add a music source for shoutcast (shout:// or something) it hangs, not responing, go into the taskmanager and have to kill it.
- Whenever I add a playlist containing a online radio(pls,m3u), it will not play while it would on the OS 10.5 xbmc (tried 2 radio's, the groovesalad both AAC and mp3 streams and zenfm.be)
- Whenever I add a cdrom as music source it will not see any music.
- How to define the mac mini remote to play with xbmc? The volume seems to work internally in windows.

Audio cd plays fine in winamp. also the online radio's do that in winamp.
I tried re-installing the application, to no effect.
I thought is was the network, but the weather works fine.
Now I am running out of idea's.
Anyone a hint, please?

I would consider going back to xbmc for windows if the mac mini remote would bind to xbmc instead of frontrow, if anyone has tips, please give it up.:sniffle:

Not able to use the mac mini remote keeps me also away from using XBMC day by day :blush:
Unfortunately I found no way to use it because it doesn't work well with eventghost or ir server suite. It might work with a replacement driver though but I didn't had the time to test it.

I didn't had the rest of the problems you mentioned but it's a while ago that I test it on the mini.
Anyway please post a logfile via pastebin.
