I just installed XBMC on Ubuntu 11.10. I can start it by going to the dash.
But then it takes over my whole screen. I want to minimise it and do other stuff.
I searched in this forum on the string "minimize XBMC" but am not able to find anything.
As I understand from this site "http://lifehacker.com/5803975/what-is-upnp-and-how-do-i-use-it-to-stream-media-to-my-tv" I should be able to install XBMC on the machine that contains my videos etc and then stream from that to other devices (in this case I plan to use another laptop downstairs).
But there will be times I still want to use this server for other things.
Confused...
Thanks!
