XBMC's Linux port lacks impressive features

08-19-2008 11:00 AM
Linux has no shortage of audio and video players, but if you want to devote you whole system to multimedia use, you need the Xbox Media Center (XBMC). Although initially designed for the Xbox gaming console, XBMC has been ported to other platforms. The Linux port of XBMC that I use is quite usable, especially for video playback, despite the fact that not all XBMC features have yet been ported.

DESCRIPTION

     The machine-independent dtv interface provides support for digital television (DTV).  A subset of the Linux Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)

     Note that the dtv device drivers are generally only available as kernel modules; see module(7) and modload(8) for additional details.  Refer
     to dtviic(4) for details about the supported demodulators and tuners.
