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

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!

[jimbobjim]

Thanks again T3CH  

Can anyone confirm if Youtube works with this build?

[MacLeod_1980]

Excellent, I usually wait for a couple of releases now before I update.  The feature that nailed it for me was improved scroll bars - the last ones looked like a last minute job and didn't really fit in with the skin.  Not to say that they were not good - just different.

Anyway I was going to say, has anyone thought of using the headset for voice controlled navigation in the menus.  Not very easy to implement I guess, but quick searching could be implemented through letters. Then standard play, pause.....

[anoobie]

thanks

The system info concerning the amount of free space on the harddrive is not displayed correctly if you have the Dutch language selected. And I think the previous slider in windows was more clear than the new one. But that's just my opinion.

[0794]

excellent work - another great release...thanks T3CH!

[Cimlite]

I like the look of the new scrollbars but I think they are too bright. Being that bright draws too much attention to  that part of the skin. Just my 2 cents.

There is one issue with scrollbars while on the subject. If you disable scrollbars under skin settings, the up/down arrows of the actual scrollbar are still visible.

One thing I really like about this build, seem to me that there's less stuttering when scrolling up down across folders with lots of icons. Don't know exactly why that would be? No matter, it's absolutely awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Big thanks to all involved creating XBMC.

[wizbitz]

Big Thanks to the XBMC team  for the LastFM update.

DOH I'll get right onto fixing that thanks for the report

EDIT -----------

Fixed in revision 9431

Fast release, fast fix and fast response. Fast Team. Big thanks to everyone involve

Hey Jezz,

I was wondering if you could look at or fix an issue I have with PM3 skin. When in Album list in the Music Library, the d-pad up/down doesn't work going from first album in list to last album in list and vice-versa.
You have to use the triggers to move through the album list, can take quite a while if you have large music library.
The d-pad control works fine in Music Artist list and in Video Library.
