XBMC Live is the XBMC media center software bundled with a embedded operating-system, for that set-top-box felling. XBMC Live also lets you easily boot to the XBMC Live CD in order to demo XBMC for your friends and family on practically any relatively modern computer, (as long as it was manufactured in the last 5-years or so it should meet the XBMC's minimum requirements).
What is XBMC Live?
XBMC Live is a boot-CD with XBMC working out-of-the-box without touching the users harddrive for demo purposes. Once booted, XBMC Live will also let the user install XBMC complete with embedded operating-system onto a 2GB (or larger) USB-flash-memory-stick for a permanent and dedicated set-top-box style installation of XBMC, currently with Microsoft's Windows Media Center Remote with USB reciever as the default supported controller.
XBMC Live minimum requirements
- x86 (Intel/AMD-based) computer capable of booting to CD-ROM.
- ATI, Intel, or NVIDIA graphic controller which supports OpenGL 1.4 or later.
- Optional is to install to a 2GB (or larger) USB-flash-drive.
- If you like to install XBMC Live to USB then note that it can not be a U3.
- Larger than 2GB is if you have a lot of media as covers are cached on it.
HOW-TO use XBMC Live
Download the ISO image, burn it just like any ISO image to a CD-R/RW, then boot on it and follow the instructions on the screen.
