Special Note From T3CH:

QUOTE

* UPDATE: Oops, I included an old XBE. This has been fixed in this proper
* Wow, SVN sure wasn't in great shape when I built last time. Team XBMC may have fixed the 'launch xbe issue' now, but if it doesn't work for you, they've added more logging to get to the bottom of this. This is also why I'm releasing this build earlier than usual.
* There's no new mplayer TEST version since my last build, but you can still report issues with old TEST here: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23969 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.
* I've 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!

umm what views have gone away nothign has been added/removed since the last build and that one has heaps more than the previous one

[jhoff80]

Sigh, if only the Xbox was powerful enough for 720p and 1080p x264, then I'd still be able to use XBMC.    (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

[mrka]

is anyone else having problems loading movie details with this version?? when i tell it to load the details for all of my movies it just hangs for about a minute or so... when i checked the xbmc log it said something along the lines that it was unable to load info and unable to create the thumbnail.

[T3CH]

Keep yer panties on, This build needs a proper.
Due to the fact that I've switched to LTCG by default, somehow an old xbe slipped in.

[T3CH]

T3CH XBMC 2007-03-23 SVN rev8306-PROPER is out. sorry for the trouble

[rapepperuk]

[mbay]

T3CH,

after downloading the proper it seems there are some animation "hiccups" evident on certain skins. Anyone else get this?

No point asking him he has got no power to fix it maybe give some precise examples and we can look into it

[rootyb]

So... has anyone said whether it's safe to have the T3CH downloader just overwrite your XBMC version while it's running?

As in, right now, I have the downloader grab the latest build, and extract it to a different folder than my current XBMC, then I fire up unleashx or some other dash, and copy the new files into the XBMC folder. Is this necessary, or am I just wasting my time being paranoid?
