| 1251161 | 2011-12-30 00:38:00 | If you want an "out of the box" solution like that, buy a WDTV Live, PlayOn Media Player or even this: pbtech.co.nz Otherwise, because of the myriad of hardware possibilities and configuration choices, if you're not even willing to setup a distro to auto-login, then you're fresh outta luck.Oh.. you mean this: echo '# tty1 - getty' > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo '#' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo '# This service maintains a getty on tty1 from the point the system is' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo '# started until it is shut down again.' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo 'start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo 'stop on runlevel [!2345]' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo 'respawn' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo 'exec /bin/login -f xbmc </dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2 > &1' > > /etc/init/tty1.conf echo 'case "`tty`" in' > /home/xbmc/.bash_profile echo '/dev/tty1) clear && startx & > /dev/null;;' > > /home/xbmc/.bash_profile echo 'esac' > > /home/xbmc/.bash_profile Finding that was one of the many hoops I had to jump through to get the system I have now Then there was the "how to start XBMC auto". Then the policykit doesnt do what it is supposed to to shut it down. Then ... Dude, I spent a week trialling different versions of different distros trying to get something that did even close to what it has to. And even then the closest I was able to get was something which required a mod to the config xml file to do a 2-keypress combo to shut the pc down. Im over those sort of hack jobs. |

| 1251162 | 2011-12-30 04:07:00 | Solved. One word: Openelec Also: thanks to those who replied... esp in regards to Win 7. This may well be a future purchase if I get seriously into it |

| 1251166 | 2011-12-31 04:25:00 | Just had a look at that Openelec, worked Ok and installed easily ( couldn't really be any easier) big problem though - tried it on two different PC,s in both cases it didn't detect the network adaptor which then wont allow to browse the network to add files (music or movies). They are nothing fancy, just standard 775 gigabyte boards. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1251167 | 2011-12-31 04:52:00 | Just some observations I noted ... does your router issue the ip's (DHCP)? If not; this will help you. I intend to attempt to hook mine up wirelessly .. just not something I intend to start today :D |
