maybe a simple question, but need some tip...

how does favorites or "last played" work in xbmc?

i know there are addon shortcuts u can place on the skin, but when in say mashup or icefilms, how to tick and recall as fav the actual group of shows (e.g. hd movies or recently added) or one show (e.g. 47 ronin or walking dead) or just one particular link (e.g. movreel or 180upload)?

is there a place to get "last played" for all the addons i have in xbmc?

tq.

I think it either goes into the fav section of the addon or XBMC's fav section (the star button next to the power button).

i'll share what i experienced with xbmc.

.. it works on pc windows, even vista, no doubt
.. it works on android dual core jelly bean 4.2.2 - if the firmware is correct, smoother than pc windows
.. i suspect need at least 10mbps unifi to stream hd properly
.. not much difference between wired lan and wirelss lan

i have 3 machines running xbmc on wired and wireless lan unifi 10mbps.

at this time, the androidbox to big tv on wired lan, correct decoding firmware for xbmc frodo 12.2 is streaming nicely, no need for advancedsettings.xml:

720 aac2.0, 720 dd5.1, 720 dts5.1, 1080 aac2.0 - excellent, reliable.
*
5mbps Unifi here. No problems streaming 1080p. Depends on the server I guess.

Also, have you tried increasing your cache size? The default cache size is 30MB only I think. Very small. I have increased mine to 150MB. But if the server is damn slow, then no choice I guess.

Hi, anyone worried about copyright laws? I'm wondering, is the only way to use XBMC anonymously is through a VPN? Can tor work? Has anyone tried to configure XBMC with tor?

So far still ok here  biggrin.gif , no blocking yet. But not in UK where any Fusion servers are blocked until they have to run VPN, but VPN does not a speed friendly according to the users out there.

What I mean is, will the copyright holders come after us? Sue for damages?

copyright is protected everywhere under the law, internationally and locally. Due to that, they may ask our ISPs or government to blocked the servers that provide the sharing of 'free stuffs' (as what UK is doing now) or may sue us to some extend been provided under that law.

Taken from XBMC from the Google+ community, quoted it again here, 
Hope that clear to you  biggrin.gif

Yes, so referring back to my question, are any of you taking measures to protect yourself? VPN? Any other method besides VPN?

Mashup everything now. The new Super Search function is the bomb. It searches 12 sources including Icefilms.

Ok MashUp definitely not working on OSX.

Ive tried install on Frodo and Gotham, from both mashup.com and superrepo (yes superrepo has mashup addon too)

But confirm working on Window 8 on Parallel 9

icefilm indicated DC   meaning disconnected?
*
Hmm.. I'm not running OSX. Sorry. Try asking in the Mashup forum.

Try asking in Himedia thread. I think you have the wrong version of XBMC or something. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2598907/

for hd movies, i usually go to icefilms->720p hd.
or mashup->hd movies, pick icefilms, dailyflix or yiffy.
47 ronin is 720 hd in all of these, i remember checking them.
i just checked mashup-yiffy, monkey king 2014 is already there, 720 aac2.0.

1080, 720 dd5.1, 720 dts5.1 are rare in xbmc.
most common hd is 720 aac2.0 which is ok for direct tv audio.
for blockbusters, i will want to watch in 1080p dts/dtshdma with home theater.
i still can't get kissanime back but no loss. cartoon hd is also good, has a great well organized and maintained library, all of it work.

1080p is becoming more common recently.

about fav... i just noticed if u r on xunity, u can get a new pulldown menu to save anything as fav. if normal xbmc, nothing like that but... somewhere, i read u can do so but pressing c key. but i hv no keyboard, just remote n mouse, can't get, i suppose.

hv tried increasing cache by doing the advancedsettings.xml thingy, it worked. later i found out that wasn't necessary if the firmware decoding is correct. but which device has right decoding or hardware acceleration, i hv little idea.

anyway, if u r able to stream hd nicely with 5mbps, that's gud news, many will want to know more... what machine, what xbmc version, wat else u can get hd smoothly, etc. tq for sharing on behalf of everyone!  biggrin.gif

Running XBMC Frodo 12.3 on 2 laptops.

1st one - Dell Inspiron N4110

2.3GHz Core i5
4GB RAM
64 bit Windows 7
Radeon HD 6630M

2nd one - Asus laptop

Intel Celeron CPU 847 1.1ghz
2gb RAM
Windows 8
Intel HD graphics

Subscribed to Unifi 5mbps in January, so far the number of times I have experienced lag is negligible. I even tried streaming 1080p movie while downloading a file capped at 200 KB/s. brows.gif Ironically, the most lag I have experienced is when trying to watch The Simpsons in SD, lol. But switched to different server (MBox) and no problems now. I guess it really depends on the server and maybe how much TM likes you, haha. I think you should just increase the cache size. If you have no choice but to use a slow server, you can rely on that cache.

Sorry took so long to reply, was busy messing around with Tor.

No idea bout Xunity, not using it.

tq for response.

it is good to know wat u can do with 5mbps on PC.laptop.notebooks.htpc vs androids, appletvs, tablets...

i also think a lot has to do with the sites u r accessing, makes sense.

which is why one has to be clear wat u want.... live tv or vod, Hollywood stuff, asian stuff, uk stuff, china stuff, sports, rtm stuff...

i doubt there is one machine fits all.... Esp when we try not to pay, like we pay assteruk. tongue.gif

With Assteruk, you pay also you don't get what you want. The 1st time I potong Assteruk was because my family couldn't afford the bill, this time I potong Assteruk because the content is just crap.

*My family doesn't watch a lot of sports. Even the recent Australian Open was streamed on their own website. brows.gif So I guess the only people who cannot leave Assteruk is those sports lovers.

I've tried Plex before running from a PC, as we know Plex is based on XBMC. It is quite nice but I like XBMC.

A good read btw about XBMC vs Plex http://lifehacker.com/5991757/should-i-use...home-theater-pc  nod.gif

Reading the article and.. "XBMC is hard." Really? I think the only hard part about XBMC is finding out what addon to install. Or is XBMC hard to install on devices other than PC? What's your opinion? Since I'm only running XBMC on PC.

After finishing the article, I guess Plex makes it really easy to stream from your own media device on a network. But how many people do that? Leave their device on at home while they are away? hmm.gif
