I use XBMC as my main TV viewing platform.

However XBMC addons store passwords in plain text, including for Youtube, your Google password!

Code: xhost +local: sudo -u xbmcuser xbmc xhost -local: works perfectl

I need a method my parents can use on Ubuntu.

Hi,

I have been looking around on various forums and have found different threads about the sound of the movies playing through XBMC does not work when with HDMI-connection, but to me I get sound on some movies and some did not.
