After a rough start, I’ve been successfully running XBMC Live on my Revo. The instructions on Lifehacker.com either aren’t complete, or they glossed over problems they surely must have had since the software and hardware they used is identical to mine. First the good news … DVD ISOs and VOBs play great, and that was my main goal. The bad news is that MP3′s played too fast, and video files like avi, flv, wmv are playing way too fast.
The MP3 fix was simple once I found the answer. I created a file called advancedsettings.xml, pasted in this code and FTP’d it into XBMC.
<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<resample>48000</resample>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>
Voila … no more problem with MP3. Video files except those related to DVDs are still playing too fast. I’m still searching for the answer to that.
