I first looked at LinuxMCE but it is tied to an old Kubuntu realease 7.1. This version does not seem to run on new mother boards. I have tried installing it on two different mobo (Asus and XFX) and neither works (No HMDI, screen is blank after system boots) I finally gave up and loaded Windows Vista MCE. But those other suggested MCEs in this article is worth a try. I prefer linux but I gave up until I read this article.

I am still a bit new to Linux and am trying
to configure XMBC to do my biding.
Alas, I am having trouble.
My Linux flavor of choice is Xubuntu.
Specifically, I have tried
“localhost” and my modem address as well as the default
port 3306 and 7531 AND I also tried the ping test
checked and UNchecked to boot all to no avail.
Anybody got any ideas?
Namaste’

For a “stand alone” torrent box, I suggest FreeNAS. It is dirt simple since it requires no operating system install, just load to nearly any old box you have using the free liveCD. It is a SoHo server application but it has a nice Bittorrent service built in, with a Web Browser GUI. You can just use the torrent service alone, but after you see all the other things FreeNAS can do, you may want to enable CIFS/Samba, NFS, LDAAP, or any of the other good stuff. Directions for initial setup [mounting the hard drive(s) etc.] can be downloaded from FreeNAS, or there are easy tutorials many places on the web.

Good call Chrisclap. Moovida is awesome but it was mentioned. Moovida is formerly known as Elisa.

After reading all these reviews i have to say that i am impresed but also a little confused, i am currently running Moovida on my computer an i honestly believe it should be up there too.

I would recomend it to anyone, thanks for the review they were very interesting but i still think Moovida is the best

well thanks for the info on this site it help me to try to install a linux MC. I went with the Ubuntu and was not able to get the MC part up and running and thats because I have a Pinnacle PCI 800i with by the way is not supported well in linux as Pinnacle itself. Now I understand that there is a bios update that might get it up and running in Ubuntu so I will check into that.

I use Fuppes on my old rig to serve media to my ps3. I just stripped down my existing Ubuntu install to the bare minimum and am controlling it on my new rig via remote desktop or even the web UI. Fuppes might be a pain to setup but it sure running smooth once it done.

It works well in my computer. Did you set the correct configuration? Or did you install the mp3 codec in the first place?

Jutta — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:44:28 +0000

Hi there,

I don’t know why you think Elisa supports no mp3 files? It’s working fine and even finds back the CD covers for your mp3 s – maybe you should download the latest version (0.5.27)
