Special Note From T3CH:

QUOTE

* rev7554-proper: A developer left a spelling error in English strings.xml. Fixed now, sorry for the error!
* Cool News; I started my own website where you can download T3CH builds with great speed. Thanks to Endpoint Corp. for the hosting.
* I'm including a preview (070108_2) of the new mplayer Elupus is working on, report issues here. It's located in the TEST subfolder, simply replace the 2 files in XBMC/system/players/mplayer/ if you want to help Team XBMC test it.
* Since I haven't seen any newer version of AMT than 0.93.5, I applied the fix floating around so atleast it works now.
* I also tweaked the win32 run_me_first.bat so it runs and then unmounts the virtual drives when you exit.
* I'm also 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.
* If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....oper_Bug_Report

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-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=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.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=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.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=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!

[weinerschnitzel]

Neato, cool site, I wonder if there will be any issues with it regarding xbox binaries.

[gottastopdrinkin]

lots of fixes and changes in this one.
"late night mind glitch" WTF dont know what that was, glad it was fixed though.

[Nubbs]

The download from the site is extremely solw. Will this be upped in the "usual" places like normal?

[edwinmcdunlap]

Aren't there legal issues with hosting the compiled Xbox binaries like that?

It's nice, nonetheless

[Nubbs]

Getting a black screen when using XBMC_PC.

This has worked for me before but this is now what i am getting and this is what the log is saying:

[Pheidias]

Yeah I got them same thing gave me a bit of a scare

They seem to have had a little mishap with the spelling

1240:   <strind id="16008">Enter New Title</string>

Hope people that updates without fixing this has a superdisc handy since I couldn't even ftp in to my box

[CHI3f]

Same here but on my xbox, thankfully I have an evox disc for just such an occasion.

So I opened the strings.xml found in XBMC\language\English\  and just went to line 1240 and found that there is a type-o, it says:

  <strind id="16008">Enter New Title</string>

But it should say

  <string id="16008">Enter New Title</string>



So if any of you do the same thing XBMC will boot.

[Nubbs]

Thanx Chief.

[phistyle]

so how is this release so far?

[T3CH]

hi there. hope you enjoy the website. I didn't have time to test the build with the new site and all, so this error slipped by me. a proper is up on website, if you don't want to download another 54MB, fix the error in English/Strings.xml (Strind > String) yourself.

/T3CH

[CHI3f]

So when is the zooming animation bug when exiting MyScripts gonna be fixed?

[hereschuckynow]

Don't download! Buggy Build. Screen stays black on my xbox and my 2 buddies.

Hey man, thanx for the release and all but there are several speed issues with this build. When say for example using Clearity, and selecting a custom BG, the skin lags 10-15 seconds before actually applying the background.

Another problem i have seen is when selecting movie information from IMDB, XBMC has frozen twice and when i finally got it to work after checking to make sure everything on my end was right (it was) it takes 10-20 seconds for the movie info to popup on the screen.

The only reason is i was using the 1/1/07 build and none of this happened before a fresh install of the latest build.

I have since switch back to a fresh install of 1/1/07 and none of these issues are arising.


I dont know if anyone else is having these issues, and as far as i can tell i have done nothing different then i usually would with a new XBMC build.


Thanx for reading all of that lol

[T3CH]

I just want to point out that I don't code/develop xbmc, I only make builds. But see README_1st.txt how to make a valid bugreport!
