You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from http://allxboxskins.com, http://www.xbox-skins.net and http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

How many scripts are included with this release? anyone?

[Maverick-DBZ-]

1. Quicktime Brower-for viewing trailers on quicktime.com

[chewan]

does this have the new xbox 360 skin? if no, where can i score it?

[vking80]

When I played a dvd.img movie and opened the meny to add subtitels it just freezes over and over again. Anyone else having trouble with these new releases?

[pike]

video-osd was messed with and the dev who did it had to leave suddenly, so unfortunately some OSD functions are very unstable atm.

[DjSnake86]

any news for dvd menus?
do star wars menus work?

You will know when it is ready. I think there will be a pretty big news post on the x-s main page about it...

[dethbox]

A couple of things that bug me about this CVS build.

There are three instances where the audio hardware options are available, whats the point of this? The shutdown menu looks bad with them white lines and bad icons.

Then there are alot of good things about it aswell.

The playback OSD looks alot better, the master lock option (that actually works) is such a nice feature. The new system information layout/menu is perfect. The fact that you can search/seek through a song/movie using the right analog stick, genius!

Keep up the good work.

Whats this 'on-the-fly' unrarring support do? Sounds interesting.

Pretty sure it means that you can play files from compressed rar achives but it still needs to be uncompressed first so "On the fly" means unrared as you need it

[pike]

on the fly = movie inside STORED rar's
not OTF = compressed rars (needs unpacking), either manually or by XBMC

[xboxbox451]

Cool. Thanks for the info. Just keeps gettin better.

i can't seem to get access to xbins's xbmc mirror anymore..  

the u/p works but the server disconnects me right before i ask for a directory list... and there's only 1/50 people logged in under that name... anyone else have the same problem?

[RocketMan104]

I'm also having the problem with the mirror you speak of now, but I WAS able to get it earlier..

However, I'm experiencing a small problem.   When running this most recent CVS release, XBMC seems unable to take any input.  Whatever controllers/remotes/keyboards I plug in, nothing makes anything happen.  When I switch back to my old release though, they work fine again.  So, I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.  Is there anything I might be forgetting which could correct this problem?
