Settings -> addons -> get addons and select xbmc.org repo -> skins -> select skin you want. After you install the skin go to your movies, hover your mouse over to the left side of the screen and you should see the view settings.

It's the only skin I use.

@GoldenGlove

While it may not fix the issue be sure that you are assigning your server a static ip. I'm thinking something may have changed within the network and addresses that were assigned from the look of your log.

I figured out what was causing the problem.

I installed AVG on my system a few days ago, and someone on the Plex forums mentioned that a lot of the transcoding problems that have been popping up for PMS/Roku users have been linked to something with anti-virus software.

I disabled AVG, and now the files are playing fine.

:wow:

Dude just saved me some time because I wouldn't have thought of that shyt at all.

Just throwing it out there in case people are in the market for a new TV.

Hit me up if you'd like Win 8 Pro for $20, legit.

So I got to play around with the Win 8 "Metro" app. Looks good but I'll continue to use XBMC. I need the DXVA + 16:9 stretch. Having to watch movies wit bars is just :scusthov:

Dupes in XBMC? Go to settings, videos, clean library. That should sort everything out.

Depends if what you have installed is a cracked version. I'm almost certain it will activate it but I can't guarantee Microsoft won't toss you in the bushes later on if you are using a cracked copy. I'd install with an iso direct from MS if I were you. Know that if you install a legit iso you won't have Media Center. You'll have to buy it from MS for $9.99.

You can get the official iso from MS using the following link with a legit serial,
