Dharma Guide Introduction Download and install XBMC Keyboard binding Setup the sources Organization of your media files Movies TV shows Advanced library configuration Additional settings Library settings Customization (skins!) Networking and external access Setup additional add-ons Extras Advanced Launcher Logo & tunes-skins

Don’t worry; this is going to be short: This guide was created after a lot of people complained that "getting into" XBMC was kind of difficult for them. Thus I decided to create this guide to help them – so I do not have to explain it over and over again. This guide includes instructions for a fully automatic PVR without actually owning a TV-Card. Also – it heavily relies on some stuff that may be illegal in your country. Check your local copyright-laws whether they apply, if they do – go ahead and decide for yourself if you want to continue. I take no responsibility.

At this point I also want to thank the community around the XBMC and the projects which rose in the near context. Thanks go out to:

• Team XBMC – For creating the XBMC in all its glory
• Team sabNZBd+ - For creating a good UseNet-download-application
• Ruudburger – Creator of CouchPotato
• Midgetspy – Creator of Sickbeard
• Angelscry – Creator of the "Advanced Launcher” Add-On

They put a lot of work into this and deserve to be appreciated. Take that into account and consider donating something, because all of the mentioned projects are completely community-driven open- source projects and they do not take a cent for the supplied software.

Special Note:
In order to make XBMC what it is today, the communities around http://www.themoviedb.org and http://www.thetvdb.com are also needed. You always can add information there, so go ahead and help out.
