== Typo in second paragraph ==


There is a typo in the second paragraph on the main page:
''To edit the XBMC Wiki just register for an account. Page creation and editing of certain pages requires an account that is a few days old and has made a '''hand full''' of edits.''
Should be

:Whoops. Done. Most of the pages are directly editable, so if you see any other typos you should be able to access them directly. Cheers. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 19:45, 5 November 2011 (EDT)
Hi Guys, How do I add this page to the HOWTO section?  It took me about a year to figure this out and I think it could be a valuable contribution to the XBMC Manual.
Kind Regards

== HOWTO: Install XBMC on a Moneual Labs MonCaso 312 HTPC case ==
Hi Guys
{{hidden|1=Over the last couple of days I have re-built my mono 312 and the following steps get you going on XBMC:
|2=Installed XBMC FRESH and ran the following commands:
  apt-get update
  wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lirc/lirc_0.9.0~pre1.orig.tar.bz2
  tar -jxvf lirc_0.9.0~pre1.orig.tar.bz2
  apt-get install libtool automake autoconf dialog
  cd lirc-0.9.0-pre1/
  ./configure --with-driver=mplay2
  make && make install
Changed the paths in /etc/init.d/lirc (from /usr/ to /usr/local/)
  vi /etc/init.d/lirc
  :1,$ s/\/usr\//\/usr\/local\//g
Changed /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to have ONLY:
  REMOTE_DRIVER="mplay2"
  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyUSB0"
Edit the file /etc/lirc/lircd.conf as follow :

          Quick_Guide              0x08
          Timer                    0x18
      end codes
  end remote
I then rebooted the machine and open a ssh console and run irw, I get the keystrokes!
yahoo!!! at this stage!!!
Added the following keymap to the /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml file and WALLA - everything works.
  <remote device="Moncaso_312">

Thank you everyone and you can use these instructions. They work 100%!

== Technical problems ==
Unable to upload SVG. I tried to upload a SVG graphics file, but got an error:
<nowiki>
Error creating thumbnail: /var/www/wiki/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: convert:
command not found
</nowiki>
I tried PNG and this worked. However, SVG is scalable and better. Please fix. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bubeck|Bubeck]] ([[User talk:Bubeck|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bubeck|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:There's no SVG to PNG converter enabled yet like there is on Wikipedia. On Wikipedia you can upload the SVG and then it will generate PNGs from that to be compatible with all browsers. I just haven't gotten around to it yet, and I wanted to be sure there wouldn't be any negative impact on server performance because of it (doubtful, but I wanted to be sure).
:It is very useful to have, so I'll look into it when I have time. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 23:19, 18 December 2012 (EST)
== When a feature was added - really relevant? ==
"Beginning with v10 (Dharma)" (which was two '''years''' ago)
I've seen this in a couple places. I've also removed one about that "wide banner icons was added 2007". Is when something was added really relevant or even interesting? Maybe it's just me. :) You can after all only download the latest version. I thought I'd ask before I remove more such sentences when I edit other stuff. [[User:Udepub|Udepub]] 14:33, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
::Its historically relevant and educational imo, like AE having history and team worked on etc for e.g.. Is it necessary? No! is it interesting? Sure!--uNiversal 16:01, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
::: Well, feel free to add it back. I don't think really it belongs in the "intro". On the other hand, a list of XBMC development history (maybe under History_of_XBMC) would be interesting. [[User:Udepub|Udepub]] 16:26, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
== Add-ons installation template ==
I dunno how to edit it.
I doubt many people go System->Settings as that's basically the same thing as just selecting System, also correct would be:
# System
# Settings
But I think it'd be better to just change to "1. System" or "1. System (Settings)". Also shouldn't "Add-on Manager" be linked to Add-ons#Add-on_manager?
[[User:Udepub|Udepub]] 13:50, 10 May 2013 (EDT)
I saw an add-on page missing Install instructions. How do you add that? I tried reading the edit code but didn't see what to add. [[User:Udepub|Udepub]] 14:00, 10 May 2013 (EDT)
