XBMC for Windows

[coosmac]

looks like my favorite media player is ported to window.
(I'm about to try this)

anyone tried this with firefly?

this would be very very cool....

[coosmac]

oh man it's working great! just like xbox...but now you can do HD way cool

How did you get it to work with xbmc, Can you send me your profile? What's the name of the profile?

I can't seem to get it to pick up the xbmc profile.

Thanks

Hey billybob777ca
I just uploaded to <<Sticky: Post your new profiles to this thread that you want to share/add to Firefly >> thread.

Thank for the profile, now it's working great, now I don't have to reconfigure the default profile.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the XBMC profile. Lifesaver! I'm a n00b to XBMC on windows and the firefly remote (and profiles).

I do have a problem though. The Stop, play, pause, rewind etc... buttons don't do anything. I just hear the default sound that happens when you press a button and nothing happens. ??

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

OK. Got it working.

I don't know why, but I had to load Coosmac's profile into the profile editor, then save it again as a new file. ?? Anyway, all working perfectly now. Playing with customisation!

Thanks Coosmac!

Can you launch live TV from XBMC. I rather use XBMC instead of the poc software that came w/ firefly.

I been playing w/ it on my Ubuntu box, but want to put this of my BTV box.

thanks

I am a TOTAL Newbie at this stuff...I just want a better Media center program then Beyond TV.It is so slow and freezes a lot.

I downloaded the XBMC , then downloaded the firefly profile and I think I loaded it into the correct folder but my firefly remote control only works to go up and down and select stuff, the play/pause/stop buttons and everything else doesnt work.

Anyone give me detailed instructions on HOW to get this remote to work?

I know nothing about scipts or programming BTW lol



I have my old HDTV Projection TV hooked up to my computer by DVI cable, and I cant get the screen to center, its always off a little, hidden on the top or bottom.

thanks

I have a streamzap remote, and XBMC is the first program that didnt just automatically work with the remote by itself (besides the mouse/keyboard emulation method).

I dunno if firefly is the same, but for me to get it my remote to work with xbmc I had to install a program called eventghost. The annoying thing is for eventghost to work I have to close the streamzap program... and then nothing else works with the remote besides xmbc.

One day I hope to figure it out so I dont have to use eventghost (or figure out how to make eventghost work with everything else), but spent enough time just getting it to work in the first place.

I figured it out with some help on here.

But its a confusing program..if you are a nebie and dont know anything about code or scripts or programing...

I cant even figure put how to make it so it has thumbnails....

none of my video or music files show up for thumbnails like in Itunes.

So nothing was really said about how to actually get the Firefly Mini to work. Could somebody please help me out? I installed XBMC on my computer and would like my Firefly to work like my xbox remote did on my xbox... which I sadly don't have anymore.

Go here download xbmc.xml

Put file in here C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SnapStream\Firefly\Profiles or for mini it might be \mini-firefly\profiles?

Should work...

[rider-m]

Another way if you can not get that to work, is to download lm remote and setup profiles for xbmc and btv. Mine works pretty well, but I am having some problems getting the focus to switch

XBMC has just about replaced my BM. I even got it working with a touch of a button on the firefly and can exit XBMC. Hmmmmmm love the eye candy...and talk about smooth functioning.

It is a shame..I could see BM lookin just like XBMC.
