ok well this might already be posted but im to lazy to read so check this out

CODE

function OnBlackDown()
   {
  ShowClock();

   }
   function OnWhiteDown()
   {
  HideClock();
   }

what this does is either hides the clock or shows it obviously
black button shows it
white button hides it

note: i just added those to the black and white buttons because they werent doing anything at the moment so make sure they are empty

This is a really good idea QUIKSILVERMALE to make the clock visibility "interactive"
This code only use 1 button on your controller

CODE

function OnWhiteDown()
   {
   if(bClockVisable == false)
  {
     ShowClock();
  }
   else if(bClockVisable == true)
     {
   HideClock();
     }
   }

My first line of code on XBox:)

it's already "interactive"
hold the right trigger and press b and that will toggle clock on/off screen

Here's one that I came up with that was usefull for me.
I'm using THC's dash replacment. I reguarly burn CD's/DVD's with various media (DivX, XViD, MPEG, etc) and was annoyed that whenever I put these discs in, I would get the 'Unknown Disc' error (this disc may be dirty or damaged, press OK to continue, etc). And since the only time I have an 'unknown disc' in my XBox is for media (I don't use ROM cd's or anything) I decided that instead of the error message, I would rather just have XBox Media Center start automatically when the disc type was 'unknown'.

Here's how to do it.

in default.xip / default.xap find:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
TellUser("n Either your drive doesn't support this type of media or the disk may be dirty or damaged.","");
}

and replace it with:

CODE

else if (discType == "unknown")
{
launch( "default.xbe", "//Device//Harddisk0//Partition1//applications//XBMC" );
}

(replace forward slashes with back slashes)

In my instance, I have XBox Media Center installed in F://applications//xbmc so you will have to change the path to whatever matches your setup.

Sonikku, does XBMC automatically launch the media then? IE, if I put a divx disc in will it just start playing the divx movie?

Sonikku · « **Reply #5 on:** January 20, 2004, 10:49:00 AM »

No, you would just end up at the main XBMC screen, which is fine for me, since typically i'll have several divx movies burned to one dvd-r, and I wouldnt want it to start randomly playing whichever one it wants

Here is some code to add functionality to the MS remote for music playback (globally, the functions work in any menu). You can change songs, switch playback type, mute, stop, start, and switch soundtracks. It's pretty much just copy and paste, no modification of current code.

Skip+ --> next song
Skip- --> previous song
Pause --> mute/unmute
Stop --> stop
Play --> play
Forward --> next soundtrack
Reverse --> previous soundtrack
Title --> change between 'random' and 'continuous'

All code goes in default.xap --> default.xip

Add this one variable declaration at the top with all the other global variables

CODE

var BGMoldVol;

Find

CODE

DEF theBackgroundMusicPlayer AudioClip
{
blah blah blah
}

After this definition (after it's closing bracket), add the rest of this code.

CODE

In the BackgroundMusicOn() function, fix this typo in tHc's release:

CODE

else if(BGMmode = "Continuous")

should be

CODE

else if(BGMmode == "Continuous")

You're just adding the double equals for equality instead of assigning the value.

Hope this helps some people out. Maybe something like this (or this code itself

) will be included in the next release. It really makes it nice to just use the remote for the music.

Krater... in the standard memory section
how/where does it get its image's from, to display the thumbnail??
as this could be worked in with your mod...

you would then have a auto icon
and no need for inserting a seperate image for each XBE etc...
truly a top mod !!

would this be possible ??

By modifying slightly what Sonikku said about launching XBMC when a disk is unknown, I just removed the error message so that I can put in a rom, video, or music disk and then launch the appropriate program to run the disk.

In default.xip --> default.xap find:

Hi
At the beginning of default.xip/memory3.xap:
