    XBMC for Windows

    August 19th, 2008 Nightspirit No comments

    I wrote earlier about the XBMC feature freeze and how I couldn’t get the version for Windows working. Fully my fault! I used to download the T3CH version of the software, but she decided not to included the Windows execute a while ago. That’s when I started downloading the source code and compiled my own versions for Windows. WRONG! That gives an incomplete Windows version for skinning purposes only. The correct version can be found here and works like a charm! The beauty of XBMC now at my PC :)

    XBMC feature freeze

    August 14th, 2008 Nightspirit No comments

    Today Team-XBMC has officially hit a feature freeze in anticipation of an upcoming stable release of XBMC, codenamed ‘Atlantis’. XBMC Atlantis will be released on Linux, Mac, Windows and Xbox simultaneously in about 2 months time.

    Now that is really good news. I’ve been using XBMC since the first day I got my Xbox and happy with XBMC from day one. Ok, it’s not perfect, developers break stuff (and fix it again!) and features are not always how I would like it to be, but perfect software does not exist!

    I’m playing with the alpha version as we speak and it looks good as always. Although I can”t get the Windows version function yet, maybe too early to test that. It is alpha after all.
