[Freevo-users] Freevo vs XBMC vs Boxee

2011-02-23 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, I had been using Freevo for almost 4 years until about 4 months ago - I got a 720p TV, and as my Freevo box wasn't powerful enough to decode 720p, I bought myself a cheap little (Argosy) media box. Needless to say, losing the ability to customise things has got more and more annoyi

2010-11-25 Thread Bill Burroughs

Hi all, I'm hoping this is an easy one - some FLV files downloaded from youpube make mplayer freeze on me. The only way to fix it is a reboot (i.e. pressing the power button on the front of the machine to get xubuntu to shut down, then after 20-30 secs, press it again to start up). I'm hopin
