HTPC build and some questions.
#1
Few weeks ago I finish building my HTPC – Setup:
ASROCK H67M-GE/HT, mATX
INTEL i3-2100 Box, 3,10GHz
EXCELERAM DDR3 SDRAM,2+2GB,1333MHz(PC3-10600),9-9-9-24,DIMM 240-pin Kit
Lite-On combo Blu-ray 12xBDROM, 16xDVD ROM, 8xDVDRW,48xCDRW, SATA, bulk
OCZ Solid 3 Series 60GB SATA3
WD GREEN 2000GB 5400rpm 64MB SATA3
Seasonic M12II-520 520W 80 Plus Bronze
Scythe Big Shuriken
SilverStone Grandia SST-GD05B

TechniSat CableStar HD 2 ( do not work – looking for solutions right now, cable TV)

OS – Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, Optical cable internet connection, XBMC version Dharma from official download site. All works (AsRock remote is well for surprise), just I have couple some questions.
1. I would like to include uTorent support – that possible ?
2. Video folder – finding data no problem, but display everything in folders – any another way to customize? ( As I see on gallery, that shows information of movie and etc) That is my biggest concern – all files in folders.
General impression is very good, system is capable to play 3D movies from BluRay, iso files and every format I tried, without any problems. If somebody will help me sorting out visualization – I be much appreciated.
Sorry for my language – not from English speaking country.

? Sorry - that it ? I do not have possibility to try right now ( stuck offshore for 3 weeks) but try to pick up many information that I can until I am away from home and will have ruff idea how to finish XBMC setup when I comeback.
What about different file show up ?
Another thing, I find out that - Ligh-Pack http://code.google.com/p/light-pack/, any body have similar like that ?

Aha, you mean scraping. I'm not at my HTPC right now, but there's a way to have entire folder/folder trees scraped with information from places such as IMDB etc. That will provide you with movie cover (like a DVD cover), a short synopsis, info about actors etc.

If you run XBMC on windows, it could quite possible be a choice when right clicking the folder in XBMC, but I don't know since I run Live at home.
