First off, pleasantries out the way - you're fantastic. God bless you for this guide, not sure where I'd be without it. That wiki is a mind-fuck (apologies for the language, I can't think of an alternative definition). It IS helpful, however I found myself getting mixed up in outdated folder structures and different OS's.
I'd like to say I can pick up most things on computers pretty damn easily. I usually manage to do it the good ol' way, googling and blindly following solutions offered up. This usually solves problems... however with XBMC this has been basically impossible. I installed XBMC yesterday, first time - after a few hours I had all my films/tv shows and music imported and artwork downloaded. This was the easy part. Subsequently, seeing this manual has clarified things ten-fold. All you ever see on this forum (i've browsed for hours!) is complicated "how to's" and complex terms.
Cutting a long story short, (I am going on a bit!). Here's my advice.
- keep doing what you're doing. If I had seen this two days ago it would have been a life-save, it just so happens I'm ridiculously determined at this kind of thing, not many are.
- make it easily available. It took me two days of googling/forum browsing and forum searches to find this, and I found it by accident! Just saying, it's more important than you think. I love XBMC, and so should everyone new!
Kind Regards,
George
