  • How to Install GIT on XBMC Live

    It’s relatively easy to install GIT on XBMC Live, but I didn’t find it well documented anywhere.

  • Set XBMC to Auto Update Library

    After getting XBMC Live installed on my Revo and getting my library setup, I couldn’t find a simple option to have XBMC watch my video folder and automatically update my library.

    In case you haven't read my other posts about search engine optimization, I've been on an SEO kick lately.  I've renamed all my images in the photo gallery so they all have some context now.  Google indexes galleries, but the next step was to be able to search the images from within my own site. …
