Hi,
I am a beginner user of XBMC live.
I have nvidia ion system and I installed on the HDD XBMC live from download section. But I have following problems :

1. My LCD LG can work with refresh rate 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 Hz.
But under XBMC live I can set screen resolution 1920x1080 / 50Hz only.

2. Automatic refresh rate change isn't working - so when I play movie with 25fps or 24fps, refresh rate of the LCD is still the same.

Thanks for help

This article helped me a lot.

Just under half way down is the bit you'll need but you should read it all.

1. First google this: ubuntu lirc howto. If you run into trouble, try to ask a more specific question.

2. sudo apt-get install samba. Then add your share to the bottom of /etc/samba.smb.conf like this:

Code:

[movies]
path = /media/moviefolder
available = yes
valid users = user #<-- your username
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

JumJum,
thanks for help. As a first point I will try to get samba running, but after
"sudo apt-get install samba" I don't have this "samba.smb.conf" in /etc/ directory.
I tried to make this file but I received information:

Cannot create :

Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 3

I am connected via Winscp.

edit1 : I found etc/samba/smb.conf but still problem with permission.

edit2 : OK, I found how edit smb.conf - via putty it's possible.
I used : sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Now I can see XBMCLIVE in win7 and I'm searching for username and password

edit3 : Samba is running now, temporary withou password, but for now it's enough.

Now I go to IR......

OK what I did to get IR running :

- sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
- than to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf inserted data for my remote control - panasonic N2QAKB000043
- than I tried used irw to check if I receiving data and nothing

How detect where is a problem ?
Under win is all working correctly.
