Causes XBMC to automatically launch content from media inserted in the DVD Drive. The available options are: Autorun DVD-Video Autorun VCD/SVCD Autorun Audio-CD Autorun Xbox Games Autorun Video Autorun Music Autorun Pictures All options are turned on by default.

Harddisk

HD Spindown Time Allows you to set the amount of idletime in minutes XBMC will wait before it spins down the harddisk. This will reduce the noise of your XBOX a bit and decreases heat buildup. Please note that it takes 5 to 10 seconds before the harddisk is fully operational after a spindown. This causes XBMC to halt and wait for the harddisk to pick up. It is not advisable to have a short spindown if you play a lot of music files as your harddisk can't be in sleepmode (spindown) when it reads an ID3 tag, therefore it will have to restart with every new song. You can set this option in one minute intervals from disabled to one hour. Immediate HD Spindown Will enable the harddisk to spindown (almost) immediately when playing files from a network. Set it to Off to disable this feature. Set it to Music Only to enable this feature when playing audio files. ( NOT RECOMMENDED ) Set it to Video Only to enable this feature when playing video files. Set it to Music & Video to enable this feature for both audio and video files ( NOT RECOMMENDED ) Minimum File Duration Set the minimal duration of the file in minutes before allowing HD spindown Delay Set the amount of time in seconds to wait before spinning down the harddisk NOTE: Immediate HD Spindown will not work when playing files from the harddisk or remote video's with vobsub subtitles.

Cache

Allows you to control the amount of information that is cached in the system's memory when playing specific types of media from different locations. Do not set these values too high, as they will consume too many system resources and adversely affect playback. The cache settings are divided into types and locations so those two pieces of information determine what cache is used. The types are: DVD's (including ISO's and VIDEO_TS.IFO files) all other Video files Audio files The locations are: Hard Disk and DVDROM are the local Xbox hard disk and DVDROM drives. Internet applies to http, https, shout, mms, http, rtsp, rtp, udp, lastfm Local network is for the remaining protocols (smb, xbms, ftp, etc.) and where an Internet option is not available. The Internet - Unknown cache is special. It's only used when Xbmc cannot determine if the stream is video or audio.
