Thanks for the info. Regarding the XBMC builds, I noticed
on xbins that there was a recent build that was ~14Mb and a slightly
older build that was ~43Mb. What's up with that?!? I didn't
see any difference in the release notes but at 3 times the size, there
must be a difference?!?<br>

This guide (<br><a href="http://mahune.org/archive/2005/05/07/mythtv-and-xbox/">http://mahune.org/archive/2005/05/07/mythtv-and-xbox/</a><br>) worked for me. Ubuntu dapper (worked on brezzy<br>too), mythtv 18.1.<br> If your laptop works but you're having trouble with
<br>xbmcmythtv then I'd suggest the mythpretty.sh from .16<br>, mythweb and samba. That's my config and it rocks.<br>If it's requested I'LL post my (slightly) modified<br>version and point out what was changed and why.<br>
<br> You'll also need the patched mplayer.dll (<br><a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1368343&forum_id=436331">http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1368343&forum_id=436331</a><br>
) if you're transcoding your recordings or not using<br>an mpeg2 capture card. DVB and ivtv files are not<br>really .nuv so they play fine, transcoded files are<br>real .nuvs and will not play in a stock xbmc build<br>until the nupplevideo patch makes it in. RTJPEG is
<br>not supported in either mplayer.dll so raw bt878<br>recordings won't work at all.<br><br>As for the original question about where to get XBMC<br>yes there is a secret handshake but it's not very well<br>hidden. The easy answer is to google xbmc t3ch; he
<br>builds about once a week so get something recent.<br>Then you'll just ftp it in, nautilus and windows don't<br>work well for that so use some kind of ftp client.<br>Most of the xbox ftp servers support a limited number
<br>of connections and when you drop a directory in there<br>the file browser trys to open a bunch of concurrent<br>connections and then fails when the xbox reports too<br>many users. <a href="http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=464128">
