Great work on the latest release guys (and gals if any) – install went perfect without a hitch (well after I realised there was a repack)

Confluence is a great skin, and a wise alternative default to PM3 – the library views look great, I can actually see what my media files are encoded with h264/vc-1/dts etc… etc…

My only issue as mentioned by cyber7 – there is no network setup from the skin.

Apart from that its all good!

Problems I am experiencing with this release includes:
1. “iwconfig” gives a kernel-panic.
2. “SMB” browsing is not supported.
3. Missing Network Setup.
4. wpasupplicant update crashes machine.

I have tried this on various machines and all of them gives roughly the same problems.

My question(s):
* Why is the SMB file-sharing not working as in previous releases where I could browse to the share, set the content?
* Why is the Network in such a broken state? Previously I could set IP’s et-kie…
* Why would wpasupplicant update crash machines when doing a iwconfig?

Just my 10c – See as comments, not slag as I realy like the release… (Busy writing customization around the problems :) )

My question is when will WMC Extender properly work with VIDEO_TS folders to my Xbox 360? I just ripped my collection hoping to use my 360 and found out the extender doesn’t work with VIDEO_TS folders properly.

@spiff

Agreed, without the devs, we would never have had XBMC in the first place. But I wouldn’t call the XBOX “ancient” hardware. People still mod them regularly and use them for media players. Sure it can’t stream HD video without taking a dump, but even considering that it can’t do HD, where else can you get a standalone media player anywhere near as rich as XBMC on the XBOX for the price? You can pickup original XBOXs for less than $50 all day long. Sure I would love to have a modded Apple TV (which seems to the next cheapest standalone solution with XBMC) on every TV in my home, but at over $200 each, I can put in 4-6 XBOXS for the cost of 1 Apple TV. I don’t forsee myself ditching the original XBOX platform for a media player, unless XBMC ever comes to the 360.
