After reading all your posts, I still have a question : is it possible<br>to use the xbox as a "normal" frontend : ie watching live<br>tv/recordings/videos(divx, xvid)/dvds...<br>I see that some people have some issue about speed in menus : is it
<br>really slow ?<br>64 Mb of ram are enough to run X + mythfrontend ?<br></blockquote></div><br>I've used an xbox as a frontend for a few years now. The menus are slow but not unbearably so. I haven't tried .20 though, only .18.1 (and .16 and .17 if that matters).
<br><br>My main problem was that xine wouldn't start consistently (it would crash on startup due to a sound error). It would sometimes take 3 or 4 tries to get it to start. I'm not sure if this is common or just a bad unit, bad build of xine or what, but it finally drove me to upgrade to a real pc frontend. The xbox will be setup with .20 and put downstairs soon though.
