XBMC for Fedora

[Rolf Fokkens]

Hi!

Several people have contributed to this subject in the past: XBMC for 
fedora. So far however XBMC isn't available in rpmfusion or fedora 
repositories. Is there a specific reason (like licensing) for this?

Anyhow, given the fact that there isn't an XBMC RPM in one of the 
mentioned repositories, I built it myself based on an RPM by Scott 
Harvanek. It's here: http://rolffokkens.dyndns.org/

It's running very stable on mij x86_64 Fedora 11 system, both music and 
video's run smoothly. Somehow however I can't play physical media like 
DVD's and CD's, as XBMC doesn't seem te be aware of them. Could be a 
libcdio-0.18 related problem.

Cheers!

Rolf

P.S. I'm using Thunderbird, and don't know how to suppress the HTML 
formatting. I appologize.

XBMC 9.11 for Fedora 12

[Rolf Fokkens]

The libcdio issue seems to be fixed, by including a patch. XBMC 9.11 
packages relying on Fedora's libcdio are available again at 
http://rolffokkens.dyndns.org/.

XBMC 9.11 beta1 for Fedora

[Rolf Fokkens]

Solved the libcdio problem by using the libcdio that's included in XBMC 
and not the 0.81 version that comes with Fedora 11. Just a few small 
tweaks in xbmc.spec.

Packages again on http://rolffokkens.dyndns.org/

For what it's worth, I didn't see any HTML.  Either you succeeded, or
the list is, wonderfully, converting...

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.

It is in the 'Account Settings' under the 'Composition & Addressing'
tab. Uncheck   Compose in HTML format. For each account if you have more
than one.

I have been running XMBC on F10 for a while now. At first, I used some 
fixes & workarounds from some wiki page (not sure where it is anymore), 
but later on it compiled reasonably well straight from their SVN tree.
There's a readme which tells you which packages are necessary and config 
script tells you about some missing packages as well. Their main target 
is ubuntu, but the packages are usually similarly named.

I would recompile a version from SVN. It's not as bad as it sounds ;)

Its one of those well hidden attributes.

Go to <Address Book>(the book icon) then highlight and select each 
member in your address book one at a time right click to select 
Properties and look at the bottom of the window for"
"Prefers the receive messages formatted as" and in the dropdown selector 
select "Plain Text"

You will need to do this for every addressee on your list, unless 
someone knows of a bulk way of doing it.
