XBMC .iso onto USB drive
#1
Hi all,

ive been searching for some help for booting Live from USB drive. The threads i have read threads that suggest burning the live cd .iso file onto the usb drive, which i have done.

It boots fine but when i select any of the options it says starting... followed by please wait, then i just get a flashing cursor line??

I want to install Live onto the internal drive...!?

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

All the best
Darryl

well best is all relative.

in my opinion, the best way is to have a centralized nas server with all of your video/audio files organized on it, then have your various clients connect to it via smb/cifs/etc and stream directly from the nas network shares.

in my experience, trying to use UPNP client/server is an exercise in futility.

just out of curiosity: please show me the thread here that tells you to do this

btw XBMC might not be right for what you're intending to do

Big thanks TJ!

As for the burning of the iso i think it was on lifehacker... it appeared to work other than this file it was looking for?

Think ill be deploying a nas now!
