XBMC Linux port

Post by blighty »

Just found out theres gonna be a port by the xbmc team themselves & they`re looking for anyone who might be able to help out with the port.

I`m not sure if this is anything that might be of use to gentoox
or not but all the same it is intresting.

The link given for those who might be able to help
was this http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/?ti ... rt_project

2x xbox v1.0 gentoox home native
2x stock 10GB`s (both built for free :D )

Thanks 2 cheesyboofs, Steinar T & of course ShALLaX.

if and when they do get it working, there will be no hardware acceleration for video, so i don't think things will play with that high of FPS running KDE (or maybe even xfce)

They could write a new driver too right? Maybe they are planing to do some kind of framebuffer mediacenter.
