QUOTE

* Since a new codecs.conf was added to SVN I added the newer cook.dll codec from 20071007. Thanks to the people who researched it!
* AMT including it's bundled plugins updated to rev1764, AOL Videos Plugin updated (same revision though..)
* 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://xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....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-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!

I think it's a sound forge and real audio codec.

[metalcoat]

Yes it is a audio codec for real media.  Thanks again for the compile!

[egY2K]

Just two minor comments:

1.  IMDB not finding exact matches - 300, Fantastic 4:  Rise of the Silver Surfer, etc.
2.  Internet time synchronization doesn't seem to work.

[anoobie]

Thanks

2.  Internet time synchronization doesn't seem to work.

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).

[craigey]

Is anyone having trouble adding music videos to the lib?
I've got a bunch already added, but I've put in some new ones using the same naming format (artist - song.avi), but they aren't being added to the library when scanning for new content.
I had this on the last build also.

[Cimlite]

The startup auto update video library feature is useful... but somewhat confusing as it is.

Completely removing all indication that something is going on in the background is not good, if you ask me. Minimizing the background update dialog to a blinking dot or whatever would be better.

Also it would be great if auto update and manual update were separate when it comes to hiding the update dialog. So that you could select to only hide the auto update but when manually clicking "Update Library" the dialog is shown as usual. Again... it's weird to click update only to see that nothing happens. No feedback at all that your update is in progress.

An alternative to that could be to add "Show Update Dialog" (perhaps as a toggle?) to the context menu. That way you could easily show/hide it.

Thank You

[elitegamer360]

Thank you for my Best Ever Weekly SWEET gift    

XBMC OWNS EVERYTHING ELSE kudos to every one behind it.  

XBMC Live4Ever  

[NiteStarXX]

Thanks T3CH!  I don't know what i'd do without my XBMC.  btw  I think in the end, even with the 360's ability to now play xvid files, i'll still use my original xbox because of all the other formats it plays and the ability to unrar files on the fly and play them instantly.   Thanks again!

[badticket]

Hi,

thanks god for weekly buildings...

actually UPnP is totally bugy. XBMC give me a freeze while trying to make an UPnP Share. Also you get a freeze when you'll create a new UPnP Source.
Using Nero Media Home (2.5.16.0) on the PC for this.

The CDDB online DB has quit ??  XBMC is not able to get any informations for CD content. Also the advanced configuration it's not possible to change the CDDB source.....

cddbaddress
The address of the online CDDb database. You may set this to another freedb mirror if there is a more suitable one. Defaults to freedb.freedb.org

( From CDDB WebSite )
How to access freedb.org
It's really simple:
Configure your CDDB1- or freedb-aware software to point to freedb.freedb.org (Random freedb server) as your CDDB/freedb-server.

Still seems to work for me.

Hi.

How can I go to a exact moment while I´m watching a film.

In previously revisións, if you click in your remote, for example, 01 00 25 the player get you to the exact time 01 h 25 min 00 sec.

Now, i can´t do it. I have to use the arrows in the remote and this makes me  

Is this option still available ?

Excuse my poor english.

Thanks in advance.
