thanks Olympia for your reply.
Last night I finished setting up xbmc by following this guide, everything went smooth, however I noticed some performance problems while playing 1080p movies.
I have intel dual core 3GHz stock and I was getting too many frame drops without any noticeable stuttering, the cpu load on both cores were not "very" even, 30% 70% or 70% 50% ....
I haven't seen such frame drops before even on the windows version, so I decided to try the Live version (Ubuntu Hardy) and it was wayyyyy much smoother, the CPU load was exactly even on both cores and considerably low, not a single frame drop with the same movie that was dropping frames like crazy with the intrepid setup.
Tonight I am going to follow the other guide Olympia put together for XBMC Live and use some of the missing steps mentioned in this guide (CPU temp, GPU temp....
This is an off topic question, but does anybody use the PS3 BD Remote? I was able to make it work using the ps3_remote.py script, it works perfect but it requires to be paired everytime you reboot. Does anyone have better steps or way to enable the PS3 remote.
Thanks
