It’s open source, of course. The program is streamlined and very smart. You can skin the look of it, but the original skin it comes with is pleasing to the eye. When you first power it up, that’s what shows the menu for Music, Videos, etc. We use RSS to find the shows we used to watch on TV/cable and have them download automatically. Another blogger, Jon, wrote about his experience using RSS to download shows. I won’t go into the details here, because he does a much better job of explaining it than I ever could.

I found out about broadcatching a few months ago from a guide posted on Engadget and it sounded like the best thing - bit torrent for the lazy student! I set everything up (even after a few teething problems such as the 'use url as a referrer' problem that seems to come by using links to mininova torrents) and everything seemed to be great. That was until the torrents never auto download and start. It isnt a great problem for me as it still means that when using tvrss.net and adding a few filters, i still get a nice streamlined rss feed right in Azureus ready to double click but its just a shame about the autodownloading issue. Does anyone have any ideas. I like the idea of a media server too but I just ripped out the hard drive from my spare computer to put in my xbox. Its something i may work on tho. Cheers for the great tutorial, keep up the good work with XBMC Hi, great tutorial.

Is there a filter for file size? I keep getting the same massive family guy zip... all I want is the new episodes. I've set a fail filter for "season" as Jon suggested and that's working great... but this file is simply called "family guy" so it squeaks through. Thanks. Hi. Is there a filter for file size?

I have ftp syncing and a plethora of other conveniences setup for common things, but there are always those moments I wish it showed up in Network Neighborhood.. I can mount an smb share on xbox, and log into it from my pc using a simple python smb client I wrote, but I really don't know what is involved with getting it into windows explorer.. Guess I'll have to scour protocol whitepapers.. I don’t think there are.. (Atleast for 98se) which is what this pc is running..
