Test Driving XBMC - Need some advice
Posted on 1/22/15 at 9:41 am

I run Plex on a dedicated machine built for transcoding up to 5 streams of 10Mbps/1080p media at once and want to test drive XBMC. OS is Ubuntu 14.04 Server. What should I know before getting into this? I read somewhere that XBMC is great for streaming media like television shows and movies through channels rather than building a huge library, is this true? Any discussion is appreciated.

its true, ive been using it since this weekend. Add Genesis and it has every movie/tv show you could want. It can even sort by years. I watched star wars IV the other day in HD, it was the same as watching a downloaded HD version.

Install the TVMC build of XBMC and it will have a bunch of the channels, including Genesis, loaded for you already.
