QUOTE

* BBB's T3CH Upgrader updated to 1.3.1
* 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://xboxmediacent...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://xboxmediacent...=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://xboxmediacent...=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!

Excellent, thanks for all your work as usual!

[Hack_kid]

does anyone else have problems with the TV scraper in the last few builds. I try and use the AUto Update libary feature but it will never work, It never detects my new shows i see it scan the folders they are in but it will never find them and then sits at cleaning up libary and compressing database for a VERY long time and then goes away In older builds its always been fine, keep in mind i havent updated in a cuple months but still i've never had a problem before heres an example of how my shows are named

South.Park - 07x10.avi

South Park - 01x01 - Cartman Gets An Anal Probe.avi

is it me, or XBMC?

I might make a build every 2 weeks instead of every week like in 2007
Post your thoughts in forum thread

2 weeks is fine for me, as long as no critical bugs were introduced in the previous build. I suggest you put a torrent up on mininova, it'd help the load.

[blaz3d]

nice keep the updates comming

peace

[BoberFett]

Many thanks, as always.  

[jorwex]

i think even less frequent than that would be fine. i'd say once every 3 weeks or a month would be a sweet spot. i know i dont update with every t3ch build personally.

[R111]

Thanks again for the build.

gone crazy last week. even when i said 2 weeks is fine, i still find myself going to T3CH site F5 almost every hour..  

[mahalkitaxio]

idk if this is bug for the new build. when i stream videos using upnp, xbmc plays the video fine but it wont display the subtitle. it used to work from previous build. i used the dvd player in xbmc to play mkv or other video files because iknow seeking the progress bar dont work with the default mplayer. anyone here have this problem xbmc fail to display subtitle with dvdplayer particularly with mkv container.

quote q's as i'm new to this place (just got tech's last build installed a couple days ago):

1. does xbmcscripts.com ever work? all script downloads are failing for me (corrupt zip...) and i'm guessing it's something to do with the php errors all over the xbmcscripts website pages. not been around long enough to know if this is just temporary...

2. i originally installed using krayzie's extras, transfering the XBMC folder contents to E:/Apps/Extras/DASHBOARD, then running krayzie's extras app, backup old dash, test new dash, reboot, then run extras again to install (which afaik copies all contents of the DASH... folder to wherever it needs to (i'm guessing Q:/?).

would doing the same thing to update xbmc work just as well? presumably it just does the same thing, overwriting all the files. obv. could backup then replace the UserData thing at the same time.

thanks.

Thank You,
new CVS builds are always appreciated.

[DMAddict]

Thanks T3CH. Two weeks should be fine. I only update my boxes about every 4-6 months.

[JoeUser38]

Actually, I update as soon as the new T3CH comes out.  I have the T3CH site and the RSS feed bookmarked on my phone. But I can live with 2 weeks.

As always, thank you!

[elitegamer360]

Wow been wating for the update, thank you
