Do you mind me asking where you got your Hulu Home Page Backdrop? I like that.
THanks!
got it HERE
dysan911 Wrote:rflores2323,Thanks I am very happy with my current set up. works great and has everything I want on it. Currently to open/close I am using a script that can be found HERE and then the advanced launcher addon. Works great and the script makes boxee open and xbmc relaunch. xbmc however always relaunches and you have to log back in (if you have multiple profiles)
Add too that I just watched your youtube video. Very NICE!. What are you using to control how XBMC closes when you launch Boxee and when you exit boxee what brings XBMC back up?
I have a similar setup in Win7 and am using Event Ghost to do the switching, etc.
How does boxee compare to Hulu?
Thanks!
I currently like xbmc more than boxee. also when watching web content xbmc seems to haev smoother playback on hulu or spiketv etc.. My wife however likes boxee as she says its easier to handle and has more webstuff like cooking channels etc.. Also boxee has more kid content so she watches stuff with the kids. comparing boxee and hulu is not really a comparison has you can watch hulu on boxee also. boxee does have alot of webcontent that xbmc does not have. or at least it looks like that in the app program on boxee.

I came from windows background also.. just a regular user with no knowledge on linux. I use ubuntu fulldesktop as its very easy to do stuff like in windows. If not I just google and usually there is a how to on what I want to do. If not I go to the forums and usually people are awesome in the community to help out. Also if you are happy with windows and xbmc then dont change. I made the change since I bought my revo 3610 without an OS on it and ubuntu is free and wanted to take advantage of the VDPAU playback with linux. So I can watch 1080 movies smoothly. Also alot of times I ask the dumbest questions on this board however someone usually helps me out so I love the xbmc community.
