Special Note From T3CH:

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.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....oper_Bug_Report

NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD:

QUOTE

* Changed : PM3 Removed Dashboard button from the shutdown menu and replaced it with a button to the new Favourites menu. This means you can get to your favourites from anywhere now. For those people who don't use xbmc as their default dash just add your dash to the favourites menu instead
* added: Smart playlist editor for music. Accessible from Playlists in music library, and on context menu on/in an existing smart playlist.

* keymap.xml:

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!

you should release an experimental build with lynkboks extension kinda like you did for midi playback. I think once again if you did this your servers would shut down and well cause mayhem in the modding community but thats just my oppinion. Take if or leave it Tech




please release a build i dont really want to have to download a pimped edition. or if you dont ill get my lazy ass to compile a build but hey i might just learn something if i do that save me from my self tech

On that note I would like to point out that any version of xbmc with links incorperated in it is more than likely out of date now.   The last actual edit to the links branch was revision 8636 on 25th of April and that was only a language file the last actual programing commit to the SVN for links branch was 22nd of April revision 8592  
The main trunk has had many new features and fixes added to it since then so like I said Currently way out of date until ysc resyncs it and updates it

[Bomb Bloke]

That midi build wasn't "experimental". XBMC has midi support, but the player (Timidity) requires a large library of files (containing the audio samples) for it to work.

Because there are multiple sound collections to choose from, and because each is at least 8mb, there's no point in adding one to the SVN.

* Changed : PM3 Removed Dashboard button from the shutdown menu and replaced it with a button to the new Favourites menu. This means you can get to your favourites from anywhere now.

I'm not familiar with this... How can i access the Shutdownmenu from anywhere in XBMC? Some kinda button combination?


Thanks for this release gents! It's getting better and better  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

yeah, you need to combine your finger with a right thumb click (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

click the right thumbstick so not really a remote thing unless you change the keymap

[dxg836]

Personally I still use the dashboard option quite often as (long story) my video settings aren't saved when I turn off my xbox (have tried all the eeprom stuff but no luck so painfully have to go into dash, change to 16:9 and do L + R trig, select and start reboot into xbox everytime I use my xbox - very annoying!)

Anyway, from a selfish point of view, could the dashboard still be incorporated into the shutdown menu with an upward push on the stick so that all shutdown options remain including the new favourites option?

[Cimlite]

I've got a new problem that started with the previous build as well as with this one.

I click "Set Content" on the folder that I have TV Shows in (multipath) and set it to TVRage.com. Run the automated scan and everything is working just fine. Then going into the TV Shows folder and clicking the info button on the remote to bring up the show info, which works just as it should.

The weird thing is that after clicking Info on a show a few times and restarting XBMC that functionality breaks. Clicking Info on a TV show after that brings up the movie info, asking for the movie name. This despite "Set Content" still being TVRage.com.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I often use the remote, so didn't figured that out yet  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  But a very smart move putting a Favorites button in the shutdownmenu!

[flake1]

So just to confirm you CAN or CANNOT shutdown the xbox with the remote control now??
