> But it's not al about eye candy. I've been experimenting with XMBC as a frontend and the setup is SO much simpler - I haven't had to faff with sysctl.conf, udev rules, (for RTC timing) or even the dreaded LIRC. It all just worked (apart from the usual type of faffing with xorg.conf). And A/V sync is spot on with all sources, including TV - which it wasn't with mythtv 0.26.<br>

I think that perhaps when people say 'XBMC is better' they might mean 'I managed to get XBMC to work so I'm using it because I gave up on mythfrontend after 3 days'.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not really a useful post from me but....</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have no idea what sysctl.conf is and I've only heard mention of udev and never touched xorg.conf and I've had myth running for years. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Not saying I've not had to faff but that has only been with features that were still in development or external scripts and the like. </p>
