I just thought I would add my $.02 after my first trial of xbpc. I am sure some of the bugs i note are known and will be worked out before an official release, but might as well mention them in case they haven't been mentioned.
It looks great, but what the hell is up with the 7up can? That has to go. I think a little more rounding to the gui might look better too.
The 1080i support doesn't seem to work correctly. I am not sure if this is just still in working stage or not, but it won't fill the screen. I would love to see 1080i support work well.
I can't get the gui screen calibrated correctly, still parts cut-off. I am using a 16:9 tv if that makes a difference. Why is it different than the movie screen calibration?
The CDDB and standard CD support is GREAT! It was a little skippy playing the CD but I am sure they will work that out. That is a great feature. Any plans to access the CD cover DB too and have that pop up like WMP? Would be great, but I am not sure if that is feasable. An eject button for the CD support would be cool.
The file browser is a great feature.
They say they are working on CD ripping, that would rock!
I would like to see support for playing DVD's off the hdd by selecting the folder and having full DVD controll (ie menus).
I know this is an alpha release and they are still doing a lot of work on it. I think the final version is going to ROCK! This thing seems really cool. Keep up thje good work.
Thanks
