I'm really starting to wonder if xbmc is really worth all the hassle. I'm having tons of trouble with buffering on it now. I have no problems with any other video service, aka netflix, amazon, vudu, cinemanow. But I can't seem to watch anything on XBMC anymore without it buffering for 5 minutes or more.

I am having the same conflict on recommending XBMC as well, but for a different reason. People using XBMC use to be so helpful. Now they are just so shitty to each other. I cannot recommend XBMC to someone and expect them to be helped anywhere in the community. It is just so toxic now.

Which box do you have? The streaming add ons are so hit and miss. Right now, the youtube addon is the bane of my existence. However, on my HTPC xbmc's, playing torrents are working amazing.

Picked up a Fire TV last weekend to replace my loyal but aging Boxee Box.

Love it. XBMC streams flawlessly. Emulators work very well. Access to Amazon Instant Video (remastered ST:TNG!) and Hulu Plus is very nice, something I didn't have with the Boxee.

Would recommend.

edit: also, those having trouble with XBMC streaming, try using NFS instead of SMB. It's a way more efficient protocol. Hannewin NFS is a good server for Windows. It takes a little configuration but there are a ton of tutorials for it.

XBMC has never run better for me. Running XBMC Gotham 13.1. It's been rock solid. Haven't had a single issue in weeks.

I got a 3rd party bluetooth gamepad from Amazon for $20: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's been great. Got hooked on a few games now. Sev Zero is really fun. Asphalt 8 is also a blast. Dungeon Quest has been highly addictive. The kid digs Minecraft.

Being able to switch between Netflix/Pandora/Games and XBMC within about 10 seconds is pretty sweet.

My main problem with it currently is that search appears to be completely broken, for me at least.

I search and it just returns every move in the database.

I also tried that Genesis app, and all I got from it was a bunch of old movies. Search didn't work and none of the category views worked.

You might want to consider doing a fresh start and installing the latest version. I did, and I'm running Gotham 13.2 final. It's been flawless.

I had lots of issues when I tried upgrading from older versions. But when I did a fresh start and started from scratch, everything worked perfectly. You will lose everything though.

Thats that part I hate about XBMC. They really need to make a login method so your tracked shows can be saved.

You can use trakt.tv. It integrates with Genesis and can be synced on any PC or device.

Create an account at Trakt. Create your lists in trakt, as in TV, Movies, Kids stuff, etc.
Make your Trakt lists public on the website, so you can see them.
Download the trakt plugin in XBMC. It's found in the XBMC.org official repo.
Enter your trakt info into Genesis settings.

Read up:

http://www.xbmchub.com/forums/thread...ighlight=trakt

What Is Trakt:

Trakt is a platform that does many things, but primarily keeps track of TV shows and movies you watch. It integrates with your media center or home theater PC to enablescrobbling, so everything is automatic. Some people like to*check in*from their phone, so we enable that too. Discover new shows, follow people with similar tastes and voice your opinion on by using the trakt website or one of the many*community apps*that were built using our API.

Essentially it can Trakt what your watching and also save the location of a movie when you exit. The service also lets you tell it the shows and movies you want to watch, or the content you own.

trakt is free to use! If you really enjoy it, consider upgrading your account to*VIP. VIP unlocks some special features and, more importantly, supports the project and the team. Stop reading and*sign up now!

---------- ------------

Lamba has utilized Trakt in an unexpected way. With the use of his add-on, and the use of the Trakt add-on within XBMC.ORG's repo, you can add any shows to Trakt.tv you want to... When you log your Trakt account into Genesis you will see that all of the content you have added to Trakt is immediately seen in the add-on.

Movies are listed as if the were hard copies on a flash drive and made available immediately.

TV Shows are listed as if Genesis was made just for you by provided a list of the LATEST EPISODES according to the shows you have added to your Trakt service. It also creates a pls e to scroll through the Trakt listed TV Shows you have added to the service as if they were a library of content. Scrolling through complete collections of each show.

If you want to go even further... You can download anoter Trakt add-on from xbmc.org's repo, the the Programs Section, that will add every show you watch in XBMC, as well as every movie, to your Trakt library.

Together, this creates a situstion that is unparalleled in customizing a rd experience all while making it seem less to share it a cross devices. You can now log into Trakt, on Genesis, on countless devices (Think phone, tablet, computer, and set top box) and you will immediately have the same library and custom set up with NO WORK
