Hello!

I'm running XBMC on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. Here is my hardware setup:


 * HDMI: Toshiba 62" DLP television
 * eagerly awaiting Panasonic's 3D-compatible 1080p plasma - spring 2010!
 * S/PDIF: Pioneer Dolby Digital/DTS wireless headphone base station
 * IR: USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony One

And my software:


 * Netatalk: media access and Time Machine for MacBook Pro and Mac Mini (upstairs TV)
 * Apache: to serve some web sites
 * other stuff I'll add later...

Config issues I've had:


 * Getting movies with 5.1 passthrough and 2 channel audio working with menu sounds
 * small thing, but nice to have ;o)
 * Video is very dark (nvidia)
 * I think I need to investigate nvidia X settings for this, but turned up my TV brightness for now
 * The control bar pops up sometimes when playing videos, but only for a second
 * dunno what this is - very "ghost like"
 * Netatalk 2.0.4 doesn't have native TM support (although there are workarounds)
 * noticed 2.0.5 does, so I decided to wait for Ubuntu to add it to Karmic before setting up TM
 * it's already in for Lucid, but I don't know if they'll port it to Karmic as well
