However, I just use it for SD tv content and DVD's I won't assume it's viable for HD content (high bitrate) and considering some of the hardware people use to do that and still have problems, you can't expect much.
I've never had a problem with scraping either and it's quite fast doing so. I've added close to 500 movies and hundreds of tv shows and the only scraping problem I quickly learned to avoid was adding the date on ambiguous movie titles.
Hi Tyche,
Your enthusiastic comments gives me hope, I decided yesterday it was a lost cause and let my atv upgrade to get rid of xbmc before I threw it out the window :-) It was several of the most frustrating hours I've had in a long time.
Just to re-iterate, I had no problems playing content, it was just the bug's causing reboots and the poor scraping that frustrated me.
I would love to know your settings to get reliable graphics, I mean I just used the defaults using the imdb database. There were chick flick (for the missus) with really basic titles like "Atonement" & "27 Dresses" with correct spelling that it failed to identify, it doesn't get any simpler than that and yet it managed to get "Indiana Jones 4 cd-1" correct !?!?
