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.xboxmedia...oper_Bug_Report

NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD:

QUOTE

* added: ability to skip directly to dvd title menu, enable in video settings (only works on some dvds)
* fixed: corrupted screensavers due to the renderstate not being what they expected.
* added: "Plugin directories" via python scripts. Allows scripters to return directory listings to incorporate their scripts within the media windows. Plugins go in plugins/<media type>. Add a source to the plugins the usual way (via Add Source). Thanks to Nuka1195 and Umbehagen.

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!

Been waiting for this one!

[pike]

and if you don't want to wait a week for the string fix, download this to strings.xml and put in language/English

dvdautomenu feature is available, it's just a blank line otherwise at the bottom of settings/videos/player

edit: n/m, seems like there was a hiccup with IMDB

Just updated to this build. When in Library mode and selecting TV Shows/Titles. Pick TV Show Information on white button (any show I have), pick the back button to get back to list and the ".." disappears and I cannot get it back. So no going up levels... If I go into a show at this point there is no ".." either so no going back/up at any point. In Library mode movies/titles it disappears as soon as I get in there. No way to get it back... I updated all 4 boxs in the house. All with the same result...

Anybody idea? Hate to have to go roll 'em all back...

[alexh]

If compressed RAR support is fixed I'll be happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The number of times recently I've had to power off my box whilst looking at "Uncompressing subs" (or something like that).

Keep up the great work.

Slightly OT:

here is the Apple Movie trailers plugin, You need a full install of the script for this to work. It is a WIP, only streams video, no other options.

http://xbmc-scriptin...ilersPlugin.zip

[Bomb Bloke]

Is there any way to boot scripts via the Programs menu, say via shortcuts?

If not, is there any chance it could be added?  

[spiff]

why? there's a perfectly fine scripts window. and favorites

[elupus]

ps3 upnp isn't possible at the moment. apperently one need to add some additional protocol info to make it show up on the ps3, will look into what it is.

[Nick8888]

@ spiff

check out the booting N64 rom plugin thread. I believe this is what bomb bloke it referring to. Although I think Jmarshall or someone said in the other forum that there was no reason why this couldnt be added.

[Cimlite]

Was wondering... is it possible to get a video plugin into the Library view somehow? I guess you could select Set Content on the plugin but that really does not work for AMT, since it's just trailers.

Actually it would be great if it was possible on the content window you could select something like "drop into library". No scrapers, no nothing... but it shows up in the library.

Anyway, thanks for all you guys hard work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
