Thanks a lot, that worked just fine . I could not have done this without your help.

I was successful in playing Greek subtitles in previous versions of ubuntu, from 7.04 until 10.10 64 bit simply by changing the encoding options in the application I was using. The application I am using is totem I never tried xine for some time. So do you thing the problem is application specific and not OS specific?

Hi,

I have tried what you suggested and replacing archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com did allow me to download the grek language pack, but I still only see commas and fullstops when I play movies with greek subtitles.

sudo apt-get install language-pack-nl

error:
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main language-pack-nl-base 1:8.10+20081025

Hi,

How would I compare the fonts sets between the desktop that works and LinuxMCE?

I don't know if it helps but I did end up in the same conclusion that the linuxmce system was missing some fonts, specifically the Greek ones. I came to this conclusion when I notice that the Greek keyboard was missing from the KDE desktop. I try to install the language pack and from there to install Greek support using both apt-get and the package manager but I got an http error.

Hi,

Normally what I would do is to open the movie and subtitle (if the subtitle is not loaded automatically) and watch the movie. But when I try to watch a movie with greek subtitles on LinuxMCE the subtitles fonts are gibberish. Normally this would be an encoding issue so I tried editing the /etc/pluto/xine.conf (found about this file in another post) and put iso-8859-7 instead of  iso-8859-1. But then the subtitles disappeared completely, the only think I could see from the greek subtitles was the commas, fullstops and semicolons.  

I have tried setting other encodings as well but I was still getting gibberish.

Hi bongowongo,

sorry I am confused, what money are you referring? And what does this have to do with my question?

Hi,

I want to be able to play greek subtitles when I watch movies. I have tried to edit /etc/pluto/xine.conf but I was not successful. Does anybody knows how can I view greek subtitles under LinuxMCE? Is even greek subtitles supported under linuxmce?

Also how about the support for sound drivers. What is the best audio card for LinuxMCE?

Hi joerod and thanks for the reply. i was hopping to build a lower cost system that consumes less power using the i5 core graphics instead for NVidia. Is there an estimation when the 1004 version will be released? I have notice that the latest version is currently 810 beta, and it has been for some time now.

Thanks,

Hi,

does anybody knows if the LinuxMCE support the i3/i5 core intergraded graphics? I am planning on building an HTPC on that setup and I was wondering if I could install LinuxMCE on my HTPC.

Thanks,

Ok thanks. If I get it to work I will let you know.

Hi mythtified,

the variable is AutostartMedia not AutostartMD but it worked great, thanks . What I want now since I want to run the core under a virtual environment, is to strip down the VM to its bear minimum. IS there a guide that will show me how to do this?

Thanks,

phanosp

Hi,

I have installed LinuxMCE 8.10 but I am unable to set it to run only as a core instead as hybrid. I have set up the Linux system under /etc/inittab to id:3 initdefault: #core but the system keeps booting up as init 5.

Can someone tell me how to set up my system as a core only?

Thanks,

Hi,

it seems that there is not a neutrino image for dreambox PVR 600. So I guess if I want to manage my dreambox I have to go with the USB-UIRT IR solution. Does anybody knows how much configuration will it needed in order to work properly with this solution? Is it just plug an play?

Thanks,
