GuySie Wrote:I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or maybe dependent on better internet connection at this time of night, but after increasing the size of the partition to fully use my stick XBMC seems to be running a lot snappier! Thumbs and fanarts load with much less fuss. Can very much recommend it to anyone else running on an 8+ GB stick.

Edit: Just set the useddsfanart setting in advancedsettings.xml as explained in:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=59115

And now even the interface is snappy fast, even with huge fanarts! I just need to figure out how to dds the backgrounds in Confluence and I think I can just keep running from the Crystalbuntu stick for the near future. This has definitely given the poor aTV a boost - am seriously reconsidering pre-ordering a Boxee Box now that this is working so fine. That money could go towards an iPhone4 or iPad

Using the full image download. Updating xbmc / crystal without issue reproduces the error each time.

The question is why ?

From top,



You have no swap file, add one.

Recently I finally managed to run linux on my ATV. I'm using pin87a version. I got one tiny problem. I do not see my ATV drive, where I have my movies. Is there a way to mount it?
