KinEmote: Kinect gesture control for Boxee and XBMC media centers now available (video)

That situation just changed, however, with the release of KinEmote, a free public beta that lets Windows users navigate XBMC and Boxee menus using nothing but hand gestures. Better yet, the software is built around OpenNI and NITE middleware from PrimeSense, the company behind the Project Natal reference gear. It certainly looks impressive in the video after the break. Good enough that we suspect many of you will hit up the source link below instead of finishing up your last minute holiday shopping -- hey, Santa can wait, this is progress!

It is recommended to install the Kawaii Codec Pack which does everything automatically. Make sure to follow the directions on their page. This method will result in significantly more image quality and performance than using CCCP (or anything ffdshow-based, really), so if you’re struggling to play back Hi10P anime, or even regular 1080p, consider trying this. MadVR is updated constantly and uses a very new version of libav for decoding, giving it much more speed than the ridiculously outdated ffdshow-tryouts project, as well as the even more ridiculously CCCP codec pack that is based on it. Build a Color-Aware Backlight for Your HDTV Setup. Amblone: DIY Ambilight. AtmoLight Clone. For quite some time i thought about building a Philips Ambilight Clone, but all the current projects were not flexible enough for my taste and used special microcontrollers and boards.So i thought how can i build one with standard components as a near plug and play solution?

AtmoLight Clone

My main points for this project were:building a ambilight like system using the atmolight protocolwith the possiblity to switch to another protocol without to much workusing small but fine stepped led controlers in a flexible structure (with the option to add n more) after some research my choices went to the arduino duemillanove and the macetech shiftbars.the arduino can do pretty much everything and in the combination with the shiftbrite shields and the shiftbars it's really just plug and play.

The Remote Control Conundrum: How to Choose the Right Remote for Your Home Theater PC

I have been unable to find a decent HTPC remote. None of the options represented above have decent keyboard capabilities. I have searched everywhere, time and time and over and over again to try to find a decent HTPC remote that controls some basic functions on my TV through IR, gives me a decent keyboard, gives me decent mouse capability and control, and controls media with a decent button layout. The closest thing I've ever seen is this: But this remote is so horrifically laid out, and so many functions scattered about, that I don't want to waste even more money just to confirm my suspicion of it's inadequacy.

When you "Set Content", you can set your video content as Music Videos, Movies, or TV Shows.

Adding videos to the library/Setting content and scanning

Scroll through the options until you get to the correct one. If you did not "Set Content" when you added a source, you can do so later by selecting the source and bringing up the contextual menu (C on a keyboard by default). 1 Setting content for subfolders You can also "set content" for subfolders, even if the parent folder has content set that is using a different setting. For example, you can have a folder for your TV shows, and in that folder have a folder for "Star Trek" that contains the different Star Trek TV shows. Avoid adding a subfolder as a separate source, as XBMC will likely make duplicates if there are two sources that lead to the same files. 2 Movie content options Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title If you keep each of your movies in its own folder with the movie name in it Example: /Movies/Big Buck Bunny/Big Buck Bunny.mkv Scan recursively Keep original title.

1Channel XBMC plugin - IceFilms Alternative (Update 03-03-2012) While Icefilms gets things figured out after Megauploads ridiculous shutdown, try channel1 (also known as letmewatchthis). It works just like icefilms did. The XBMC plugin was just released so they are still working out some bugs, but it works better than icefilms does right now.

Two big benefits are PAUSING and BUFFERING. They both work unlike icefilms. Home. Livin' your world in colors.
