Sounds like your XBMC is well out of date, try updating it to at least 9.10 (Camelot) and see if that works any better for you.

I'll be releasing a newer version in the next day or two which should (hopefully) smooth things out a bit more.

I just purchased hardware for a new mediacenter, and along with that, installed the latest version of XBMC and Mediastream. It is now all going smoothly again. But since XBMC crashes when playing DVD's, I tried with installing the latest drivers for my GeForce 8100 (190.53) to see if that fixed it. It didn't, but I noticed that MediaStream became choppy as heck and barely usable. Once I reverted back to the latest drivers supplied via Ubuntu's Hardware Drivers installer, it is smooth sailing again. I forgot to try another skin, so I sadly don't know if it was Mediastream that was effected or if it was XBMC, but I figured I would mention it anyway.

However, what I wanted to say was that upgrading was the answer to my previous issues. Thanks for sharing this skin with the community. It's really bad ass.
