LinuxMCE is a single solution that consists of several pieces, and each has its own User's Manual.

To get started you will want to read the documentation on Getting Started

You then control and use your LinuxMCE system with Orbiters. Orbiters is just our way of saying "remote control". Every media director has an on-screen Orbiter that you can use to control the system with your TV. But you can also run the same Orbiters on touch-screen panels. See the Orbiter

LinuxMCE is a modular system and you can add all sorts of plug-ins to do various tasks. You will set these up using the LinuxMCE Admin web site, and on each page there is a help button that will take you directly to the documentation for that plug-in. You can also browse the online LinuxMCE Home Software to see the User's Manuals for all the plugins.

If you have any questions you can visit our forums by clicking on Support / Forums, or request live assistance by choosing Live Support.
