If anyone is reading this and liked Boxee but is now looking for an alternative, try Plex. It has come an awfully long way since I first tried it. It offers the simplicity of boxee but the power of XBMC and I now use Plex on our HTPC, server (running Server Plex) and our iPads and iPhones. It is a complete solution and free (except the iPhone/iPad clients but they are real cheaply priced).

anyone know when XBMC is going to add PVR support? Media Portal is good but...

You could try these branches http://www.scintilla...c/prebuild.html

They are work but can be rather sluggish in channel changing. Using it on Linux via a Mythbuntu setup is the best route right now if you can get it working with drivers etc

Thanks for that!!!

    • Firefox, and Vivaldi for the rare instances I need a Chrome based browser for a particular site.
    • I named Hitler because he is the de facto anti-semite. But you don't have to hate Jews to be a genocidal maniac. In fact, these days, so called semites are the ones acting in ways that would make Hitler proud.
    • 3DP Chip 26.05 by Razvan Serea 3DP Chip is a standalone, no-install portable tool that scans your computer’s hardware and automatically detects the latest drivers available for your specific configuration and external devices. It provides a clear list of drivers that need updates, locates the correct downloads, and helps you upgrade them easily. 3DP Chip will automatically detect and display the information on your CPU, motherboard, video card and sound card installed on your PC. You can also choose to copy these information into your clipboard with one click for later use (such as posting in a forum). Also, if you're upgrading your operating system or just need to reinstall Windows, 3DP Chip can backup all the drivers on your PC or laptop. 3DP Chip backup and reinstall features can save you hours of searching for and installing individual device drivers. 3DP Chip most popular drivers include: audio and sound drivers video drivers printer and scanner drivers digital camera drivers network drivers webcam drivers keyboard and mouse drivers 3DP Chip v26.05 changelog: Driver date/version information has been added or updated AMD motherboard chipset v8.03.25.247 AMD motherboard chipset v8.05.04.516 Newly added product or support has been enhanced AMD Radeon Graphics AMD Radeon 780M Graphics AMD Radeon 840M Graphics AMD Radeon 860M Graphics AMD Radeon 880M Graphics AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT AMD Radeon Pro W7500M NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU NVIDIA RTX Pro 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU NVIDIA RTX Pro 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU NVIDIA RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU Download: 3DP Chip 26.05 | 7.2 MB (Freeware) Links: 3DP Chip Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
