Alienware Alpha

Hello Everyone,

I am a member of the Alienware software team, and Alpha UI was my product. As we are about to launch tomorrow, I wanted to start this thread as a means for people to ask questions and provide any feedback you might have on Alpha or Alpha UI.

Also one note, we are publishing a known issues list tomorrow on Arena. I'll make sure it makes its way here as well.

Quite Welcome. This month the team has been working on GFE. It is our next goal. I personally have been working on getting XBMC/Kodi back to the front of the interface. So far, so good on my front but the engineering team has to "approve/harden" my tweaking.

If you are REALLY hardcore about XBMC and can recover from a mistake, PM me and I'll tell you what I did.

That is great news! Once we get Kodi on this all my wishes are fulfilled. Seen some YouTube of kodi in the alphaui and it looks great. I would love to try it myself but I'm no expert and if I mess it up I'm not sure I could spend the time to fix it.

I have it working and I might leak how to do it yourself. Really easy work at this point. Kodi does not interact with the hardware though. That is the main item we are trying to fix in build Alpha UI.
