QUOTE

* I'm including the >>XBMC Win32 PC environment<<.exe that is meant for skinners & python developers, read more about the concept here. It was built using Microsoft DirectX Summer 2004 SDK.
* I've tweaked the win32 >>run_me_first.bat<< so it runs and then unmounts the virtual drives when you exit.
* If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://www.xboxmedia...oper_Bug_Report

NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD:

QUOTE

* added: advancedsettings, ability to disable modchip detection/lookup; for X2 ModChip Series (http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25274)
* added: "busy indicator" dialog (DialogBusy.xml, temporary graphics), dialog is rendered on top of everything when the main thread is busy doing lots of stuff except rendering.

QUOTE

2007-05-14  8943  fixed: if the skin loaded on start was missing a window the next skins loaded wouldn't reset the invalid status of the window.
2007-05-14  8942  changed: busy dialog is now disabled if progressdialog is on screen. changed: doubled the amount of missed frames before busy dialog pops up. changed: busy thread is exited if the skin doesn't have a busy dialog.

Use Seek(0, SEEK_CUR) to check if protocol supports seeking. added: buffering system to CFile (quite untested, set READ_BUFFERED flag on Open to use) changed: move READ_TRUNCATED flag from CFile::Read to to CFile::Open as it is silly to pass along on each read request

2007-05-13  8920  changed: don't look for stream info in unseekable streams in dvdplayer, should speedup startup of such streams (hdhomerun, maybe tuxbox) changed: make dvdplayer default for hdhomerun streams as mplayer fails miserable on them

INSTALL NOTES from T3CH readme/nfo:

QUOTE

* APPLICATION INSTALL
- Fresh Install: Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder (or where you want it).
- Upgrade: Backup the XBMC\UserData folder. Transfer whole XBMC folder to Xbox.  Overwrite UserData folder with your backed up copy.

* DASHBOARD INSTALL (SOFTMODS)
ARE NOT COVERED IN THIS README, 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: http://www.xboxmedia...=As_a_Dashboard (Option 1).
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
See APPLICATION INSTALL above.
- 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 http://www.xboxmedia...=As_a_Dashboard 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).

* WIN32 PC ENVIRONMENT INSTRUCTIONS (WIN32 FOLDER)
Good to know, this requires DirectX9 Runtimes to be installed. Also this doesn't work with all graphics cards.
You need to:
- Copy XBMC_PC.exe & 'run_me_first.bat' from win32 to XBMC folder
- Run 'run_me_first.bat'
- Run XBMC_PC.exe

* 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 settings (from UserData/guisettings.xml)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in UserData/Database/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!

Thanks in advance.

The advancedsettings.xml file has to be created manually.

"AdvancedSettings.xml" goes in your UserData folder. In this case, here is what you want to add:

<disablemodchipdetection>true</disablemodchipdetection>

Edit: Looks like this line isn't in the Wiki yet. Page is locked, so I dunno who can add it in.
