Hello .)
I'm new to XBMC and have some problems I couldn't solve myself.
Perhaps anyone can help me "starting".
My intention is: Running a Win7-64Bit Station with XBMC as a Media Server and some ext. HD Drives with my ripped DVD's, Picture and Music Library on.
I want to look my DVD's via WD HDTV Live Media Boxes.
The WD HDTV Media Box finds the XBMC, but now there are some things I don't understand.
1) I see a Video and a Music Library, but I can't see any Picture Lib or a way to browse my Pictures. Aren't Pictures not supported to show via Media Server?
2) It seems to me, that I can't play directly DVDs, 'cause the WDHDTV only gets the first VOB from XBMC and so can't continously play the other Vobs.
So I seem to have to rip the DVD with DVDFab (which is great) and then have to convert it to a single file format. I want to this without loosing quality in sound or Pic. What tool do you use for this task?
Converting each single vob with autogk and search for a join tool to get one single file from all these vobs? Or is there one tools that does the complete task? I tried Ultra-Joiner, but it seems to lose audio-sync.
3) Can I use ITunes Playlist for my Music Library, or do i have to create new playlists with XBMC?
Thx for help. I've tried forum search, but didn't find really useful answers.
Thx very much and pardon my english
