This worked great for me on Win7 Pro x64. Copied the text straight from your post. Saved me tons of time. Many thanks.

Disagree entirely on Conan. What a complete load of rubbish! The costumes and set pieces were as awful as the shows Xena and Hercules (like people playing dressups or a LARP convention). As for The Thing prequel, I actually really enjoyed it. You should watch the new one followed by the 1982 version (which isn’t the original, btw). It’s pretty great how closely they matched the end scene in the new on with the opening scene of the Carpenter film (my second fave Carpenter film, actually). Also, I disagree with you on Contagion. My wife and I both quite enjoyed it. I think we must have really different tastes in films, because I though Apollo 18 was terrible too.

Agreed, we would need to see some improvments to convince us to upgrade all our devices to Win8, especially the HTPC.

I wish this worked for me. I updated with the latest files but the same video not available or a technical issue message comes up for any video. :-/

Hi,

How do I get the batch to keep mymovies.xml and do a copy of the xml file to movie.xml?

I agree with your comment about Conan. I’m a fan of Jason Momoa (even before his awesome role in GoT),but the first half of this movie was a lot better for me than the end.

Comment on XBMC success! Then it is epic fail. by Jon

Not had a chance to update, but it didn’t actually work. I guess it did, but considering it was so far behind other developments, all themes were busted. It ended up being unusable for me.

Hi Jon,

Can you post the file or a link to the file you’re referring to that still works with box set code?

Thx!

You would have to map them (temporarily) as local drives. C:\>net use Z: \\tower\disk1\movies then cd to the drive and run the command.
