Has anyone thought of maybe using the codecs already installed by the Optional Media Update, which do allow some of the most popular (common) formats out there, and simply code a launcher so we may store our files in our hdd and not depend on USB to watch them?


Also; does anyone know how to properly make a video CON file using Le Fluffie?

Thanks.

I'm actually a little shocked by the smugness of the XBMC crew, Pioneers back in the Xbox1 era, would expect some loyalty to the BOX successor.  

While there right to an extent that a HTPC would be of same cost to build outright and probably better suited, the software would definatly be a boon to the scene since so much hardware is already in place.  But there priorities lye elsewhere now it seems.

I'm sure someone is probably already working on a media player project for the 360, I hope we see it soon.

yes maybe we can work with this too.
too bad .srt is not possible :S subtitles.

It's not smugness, its just a simple question of worth.

This 360 hack is available to a VERY small number of users. The resources required to get it working on 360 would be far more than it would be worth for the team.

That said, nothing is preventing anyone else from doing it. The XBMC source is public.

Yeah, you're absolutely right... people should concentrate on f***** up the 8xxx Kernel.
Then we would also see a xbmc port.

It's hardly smugness.  It's called being a realist.  Porting it to xbox 360 would take 100's of man hours, potentially 1000's, just to even get it running with a reduced feature set.  XBMC has come a long way since they decided to make linux their main development platform.  The codebase and feature set is massive, why would they essentially want to take a step backward to support a platform that only a small fraction of 360 owners can use?

I wouldn't want them wasting their time on developing it, a HTPC does the job far better, is quieter and has no chance of having irreparable hardware failure.  Especially when you consider the 360 already has support for most basic formats.

The code is GPL'ed, anyone who wishes to port it, can.  I personally wouldn't use XBMC if it were on the 360 anyway, the xbox was a great media device for the time but now you can get network capable media devices capable of full 1080p for around USD$100.

[hfmls]

yes we have hd players for 100$

the thing is, if we CAN, why not do it?

i don't want XBMC either, it would takes months!


we could start by something much more simple like a mplayer port
with a *shitty* interface

and then evolve from there.

[Drefsab]

well im certainly no programmer but id love to help out as soon as im able, Im going to be exploiting my box this week so will get that done then do some reading and see how I can help.

I certainly think the mplayer route is the best one, porting XBMC just isnt really worth the time at the moment.

[hfmls]

thank you very much!!!

this is good right guys?


can u guys try a simple player? i don't care if it's ugly

just for testing please.

OH YES IT IS!
congratulations Joohan. It seems a homebrew media player is not far off!  

[Mr.RedRing]

Oh god, here we go.  Another god in the scene

[ddxcb]

XBMC lost its name.

"XBOX MEDIA CENTER"

not "LUNUX MEDIA CENTER" LMC

not "WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER" WMC

this makes me sad

[tweak3r]

The first step is done...  

[hfmls]

so guys, is this the way to go?

can you guys confirm that, with this we can in a couple of days watch avi + .srt ?

[Drefsab]

I think some people are seriously under estimating the complexity of the work that joohan has done so far, hes made a significant step forward but we dont even know if this C89 work around will work smoothly, the other work needs to be done before testing.

I certainly wouldnt be expecting this to be the work of just a couple of days thats for sure.
