wow, if you are going to update as soon as the next release is out, you should do it safely so you don't have to complain here about X not working and my box is messed up or whatever....

i simply boot to unleashx, FTP in with FlashFXP, rename the current xbmc folder to xbmc-old (or the actual revision number) and then FTP over the new xbmc to a folder named xbmc.

thus if there are any problems, then a simple renaming of 2 folders while in unleashx will bring me back to where i was just moments ago.

quit whining if you are going to test-drive the new builds...

THANKS to XBMC and T3CH for all of your hard work...

what?

i thought the idea of this forum was to bring attention to bugs in the new build.  We are very aware how easy it is to revert to older builds, thats not the point.  keep the smartass remarks to yourself.  if it wasnt for people reporting bugs in the builds than you probally wouldnt see any new ones, or revisions of current ones

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

well, i downloaded the first release and the proper one and the opening animation is gone, and the list views no longer display library view information. am I crazy or is this still there for others? I loaded dvd2xbox then ftp'ed in to the xbox, deleted entire xbmc and all contents form dashboard and replaced with new files...

The animations have been fixed in the xbmc svn since t3ch.  As for list view going in library mode yes you are correct "list 2" view was removed to make way for the othe new views like dvdcover and media info views.  But that was removed in the last t3ch release as well not just the one before proper.
Sorry if you liked it but I think the new ones are better anyway

I did update to XBMC-SVN_2007-03-23_rev8306-T3CH-PROPER
which still has the animation bug in mc360. what is the address of the xbmc svn? thanks

I unticked "Use Visualisation if playing audio."

Visualisation is still active when playing audio.

Are you referring to the screen saver, or to the background image behind menus?

thanks for the info Jezz_X, can we see a screen shot of dvdcover and media info views? or are these already in this release? Is dvdcover the wraplist view? Thanks for all you do. I love where pmIII is going and it has always been my favorite skin. I've tried all the rest and always wind up going back to pmIII. I love the dvd wraplist with reflections. I look forward to the next release from T3CH.

I've noticed (what I think) is a bug, which I'll try to describe. I have on a 4:3 TV with high-def, so I run XBMC at 720p.

Sometimes, when XBMC is in 720p, the numbers in the timer bar are too large:



Here is the same movie with XBMC set to 480p. As you can see, the timer bar looks perfect:



However, I should note that the timer bar is not always messed up in 720p. Here's another shot from another movie. XBMC is set to 720p. As you can see, the timer bar looks great:
 



I hope that makes sense. I also have a request for Jezz_X. I love the work you've been doing on PMIII, but I miss one screen from the old version. This screenshot is from 2.01. This screen would come on after about a minute of the music playing. I really liked it because you got a simple uncluttered screen but you could still see the RSS. I hope I'm not the only one who cares about this and that you can bring it back. Thanks.

[jmarshall]

The font issue is known.

In the view with the large text, you are running a 480p screenmode.  It's using the 720p fonts, however, as fonts are only loaded on skin load, they're not dynamically loaded as needed.

thanks for the new build. very nice. keep up the good work.

we removed it because we dont like it.

you want it back in, you have to do it yourself.

Starting with the same quote as ever:
"Wonderful, awesome, incredible job!"

My question:
1 - The START.WAV is not playing on my XBMC-2007-03-23 Svn Rev8306 Proper.
I did check and the file is right there at its very own place, but it does
not play at all!

Is this happening only to me?

Other things:
2 - Personally I don't like the recent introduced scroll bars. For my opinion
it breaks the cleanness of the skin. It could be nice to have a ON/OFF
switch for scrollbars in the settings menu, what do you think, guys?
At the moment I did build my own textures.xpr and "hard-removed"
the scroll PNGs from the package (just to satisfy my soul).
(c:

3 - When we load the XBMC, right after the SPLASH.PNG now we
have a sort of "opening" animation - I mean, the screen "opens" horizontally
from middle to top and bottom, just like kind of a door revealing the XBMC home page.
I don't like it too. I really prefer a simple fade in present in the past builds.

4 - I did use to read a lot of comics on past builds. I love
the golden and silver age of Marvel, but since XBMC 07-03-18
the bug of ZOOMING IN AND OUT is still there. I know there
is a official bug report registered, but it looks like someone
is not paying so much attention to it. If I did miss comments
from T3CH or other developers about the bug in other
posts, pardon me - but it could be great to have
some official words about it here --- even a: "Yes! We are taking
care of it" could be perfect!

Sorry if I am being extravagant here, but it's just my opinion.
With the new builds, you guys made me buy a brand new 250GB
exclusively for my Xbox! Hurrah!

PS. Don't be mad about my excess of words. My english
is not good and sometimes I need to write a lot to be able
to express simple terms and words.

1) enable nav sounds
2) why dont you look around in the menus instead of just typing a rant here? guess what's sitting in skin options.
3) all skin - do it yourself.
4) eventually - not a priority.

Maybe add an option to turn it on? Just a thought.

[spiff]

why would we readd something 95% of the team disliked. sorry, not gonna happen.
