Special Note From T3CH:

QUOTE

* XBMC Lyrics updated to 1.5.4 and also AMT has been updated to latest SVN revision per Nuka1195's recommendation.
* 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!

bugg ?

a movie streeamd trugh rar (iso) played great before now it just says waiting..... nothing happens  

great jobb anyway but i tink i go back to rhe other one.

[DMAddict]

Thanks for the update. Been wanting to update for a while just for the Blue/Red Theme. BTW, I do like it. I have one recommendation for it. I would like to see the highlighted item selected to shadow in blue or red as well. I think it would be a good effect and not to mention easier to see which item your on. The current white glow highlight is sometimes difficult to see. Just a thought.

Two minor things I noticed:

If you select restart while the shutdown bar is coming down, there's an issue:

The icons change size slightly when selected in the browse list:

As always, big Thank You. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had the same problem FIENDE, but I figured it may of been because i just copied all the contents over through ftp, incl. userdata even though it says to not do it that way.  So I think it was the userdata folder causing it.  I went ahead and deleted everything instead and copied over all the folders again.  I didn't keep my userdata folder, but backed it up just in case.  Now it plays the .iso and .img files just fine from RAR's.  Hope this helps you.

Restart button is an error and I'm going to fix it in a sec so next t3ch should be fine

Icon changing size is a trick of the eye due to the brighter border around it making it look like there is less space
I assure you in the skin code they are exactly the same size

[bytesmackinc]

Ahhh yes, another fine build for my favorite dashboard.  I bet even Gates has XBMC and looks forward to new builds.  hehe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I think you could be right that it's a trick of the eye about the icon changing size... that said, it's not because it's brighter. It's because the whole selected bar moves 1px upwards on selection.

Click to see what I mean:

That's not by design is it?

5.1 sound with dvdplayer doesn't work !!
I get a terrible sound when I select an ac3 5.1 track when playing a dvd.
