Hi all
I found xmbc while looking for some media players so decided to check it out. It is a very nice system.
So some questions. I decided to try it out on a system I had laying around and am planning on putting a system together to dedicate it to it. I ran the latest nightly Dharma build for the testing.
My TV is an older RCA wide screen that supports 1080i on DVI, I have not tried on my newer plasma on HDMI yet with 1080P. I ripped a couple SD videos to try it out and have not yet did any of my HD DVD's yet.
The system has a 82945G intel express chipset.
I managed to get a resolution that would calibrate and it played well but I am a little confused with the resolution settings as it seemed like a low res.
I assume I would have to set the card to the TV native resolution or something close but I do not have a 1920x1080 res or anything close that seems to fit the TV.
I also assume this is driven from the monitor type?
The next system I hope to be monitorless in the future with access to my NAS.
Anyhow any insight for a newb would be appreciated.
Thanks for a great media player.
