Automatic US / UK VPN connection with XBMC, iPlayer, Hulu and Free Cable
XBMC has addons for various geolocked services, Hulu and iPlayer being among most popular. Switching between VPN connections manually gets boring quick so I hacked following script that will automatically connect and disconnect VPN to US / UK on demand. Tested with XBMCbuntu and XBMC 12.0 Frodo.

XBMC and overlapping subtitles with iPlayer addon
There's often overlapping subtitles with XBMC and BBC iPlayer addon. Rather than modify actual addon and losing changes every time it's updated I hacked up script that edits SRT file after it's downloaded from BBC site but before XBMC reads it.

Setting up XBMCbuntu 12 based HTPC - Part 6 - Configuring XBMC

Next we need to fix annoying bug that prevents HDMI audio from working out of the box.
Setting up XBMCbuntu 12 based HTPC - Part 3 - OS tweaks
Since XBMCbuntu is just Ubuntu with some tweaks next we apply my usual Ubuntu fixes over it. Only major difference is that this time we're not removing Network-Damager. And of course bunch of XBMC specific changes.
Setting up XBMCbuntu 12 based HTPC - Part 2 - Install
Installation of XBMCbuntu is fairly straightforward and default settings are fine. Install will take less than half an hour.
Setting up XBMCbuntu 12 based HTPC - Part 1 - The beginning
I had here series of posts, more like notes, of my XBMC install. I've since found out better ways to fix some of problems explained in those posts. To avoid having two set of posts with different instructions I took old ones down and will post new instructions.
