The on screen keyboard is available in
various forms including full alphanumeric
and IP address (input numbers only). You'll
need to press the on-screen's Done button to
complete the editing process.
Getting XBMC ready to play music and videos
To play your own Music, recorded TV show Episodes, or recorded Movies, you first have to tell XBMC where
your media is located. Letting XBMC know where to find your videos and music is very simple. First, start
XBMC, then just click up or down in the home menu until either "Videos" or "Music" is highlighted. The
technique works the same way for Music as it does for Movies, TV shows and Music Videos.
Add a Video Source
Click Videos in the home screen menu. For this
example we are showing the Confluence skin, which is
currently the default skin in XBMC.
