XboxMediaCenter CVS build of June 18th 2006 compiled by T3CH.
This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.


Special Note From T3CH:

QUOTE

* Since XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment, I've decided to make more than one BUILD per week.
If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://manual.xboxme...SubmitBugReport

* Please note: Support for skins with versions < 2.0 has been removed

* No more MC360 included with T3CH. You should know that it's NOT MY fault last MC360 beta (that I included) was defunct. The situation had to be re-evaluated and a deciscion was made to not include MC360 betas anymore. You will have to grab MC360 on Team Blackbolt's site instead.

* If you wondered what happened to XBoxMediaCenter.xml, More info here and here.

Install notes from T3CH readme/nfo:

QUOTE

* DASHBOARD INSTALL (softmods)
See http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=406656

* DASHBOARD INSTALL
- Option 1. Team XBMC's shortcut tool.  It's included in the _tools folder as <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>> + <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg>>.
Instructions here
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
Upload to Xbox.
- Option 2. Thanks to an app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now easy...
Transfer contents of XBMC folder (this is VERY important since the tool is hardcoded) TO "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<SHORTCUT by TEAM UIX.xbe>> to something your bios can boot  (see here or read your BIOS README) and transfer to location your mod solution boots. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you need not to worry about this file (unless you move XBMC).

* APPLICATION INSTALL
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking.
Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder.

* UPGRADE TIPS
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
- Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build
- Delete old savegame/settings (from E:/TDATA/0face008)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in XBMC/Albums/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!

The XBMC manual is available on The XboxMediaCenter manual has also been updated with information about the trainer feature, check it out on manual.xboxmediacenter.de.
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.

It seems fine to me except I'm not sure if it's ignorance or I haven't RTFM recently but i can't figure the menu items in My Programs and other places. i.e. My Dashboards - Not sure how to "point" it!  Also I noticed I have this going on in my log:  

Can't open the database MyPrograms6.db as it is a NEWER version than what we were expecting!

This is a complete, fresh install; U/TData folders for XBMC deleted, temps on Z: drive. and cache directory.

I'll continue to try and figure it out!  Thanks guys!

Seems to be working smoothly so far. The only complaint I have is that NONE of the scripts work anymore. It seems to be an alignment issue because there is no text oh the screens. I understand that some scripts are old and do not work but I was under the impression that XBMCScripts was kept up to date. I could not view the text in XBMCScripts, but the other functions seemed to work fine (ex. downloading.)

Any ideas?

I'm having this problem too!

Yeah, several of the the scripts seem to be missing text in the PM3 skin. But I am able to see the text when I load up the MC360 skin.

[VampBoy]

Working alot better for me, especially with the 360 skin.  Previous build would lock up in multiple spots for me, especially when accessing the games tab.

Current build seems stable so far.  I really liked the new fonts in the PM3 skin for HD resolutions as well.

[jmarshall]

Debug log files of when you run the scripts please.

I suspect they're referencing fonts that no longer exist in the PM3 skin.

[Tickethead]

Thanks JMarshall,

I just got through re-downloading the latest release and re-installing.  Everything is working fine now... sorry for the false alarm!

Good work everyone!   (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Nice....No more pesky MC360 Skin
