2007-11-26  10849  fixed: small tweak to imdb.xml to exclude imdbtv related results contained within quotes e.g "tvshow" (more accurate results for movies)

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://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://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).

* AN INTRODUCTION TO PLUGINS
XBMC has a system for Media plugins to allow browsing of remote content (Internet) using the regular filesystem approach.
Plugins are put inside >>XBMC/plugins/<video/music/pictures>/<< (I already do this for the one/s I include), furthermore they also need to be installed as a source in (video/music/pictures).
You do this install by using the contextmenu choice >>Add New Source<< while in ROOT list and then choosing ***Plugins as source.
Then you highlight (not select) the folder of the plugin you want to install. It will be saved inside sources.xml for future.

* 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!

Hi! This relase fix the mc360 SVN Revision 1039 languages bug?

From mc360 homegape:

QUOTE

Update: It appears although the latest t3ch build is needed for the latest MC360 to work correctly, there is a bug if you have more than one profile. Please make sure you are using the master profile. This bug has been fixed within the XBMC SVN tree, so if you are able to build your own, do so, for those that can't you'll have to use the one profile until the next t3ch is released.

[jmarshall]

Yes, it does.

[elitegamer360]

Thank you very much  

1 question? My xbox does not seem to auto update the date and time anymore, I did not realise until the last build but I think it goes way beond the last one, is there any change that I'm not aware of !?

my xbox is set to update from server any ways I never changed that.

Thanks.

 

[Bomb Bloke]

Check the time server under your Region settings. The default server address (207.46.130.100) recently moved, try changing it (to 192.43.244.18 for example).

Thanks

LAN/SMB video files are really slow to start. I've upgraded to rev10891 from rev10840 and both version have the problem. The last version I had before rev10840 was rev10538 and it started fine/instant.

paplayer and dvdplay still start instantly. Only mplayer delayes.

Another users noted something in the change log that might help:

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=4166506
2007-11-15 10758 added: proper detection of if stream is on local LAN changed: mplayer now only
prefills cache to 5% when file is on HD or local LAN, should allow quick startup even with rather large cache.

I've also tried lowing and increasing the default buffer with no luck.

I've since down-graded to rev10538 and files now start instantly.

Thank you I'll try that.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

any one checked the X360 Divx/Xvid update its really cool but it cant match the functionality of XBMC, I wish that XBMC can be ported to the 360 some time in the near future.
