sorry maybe I wasn't clear in avalaunch there is a menu to download apps such as XBMC I was wondering if the apps download option in avalaunch downloads the lastest version of xbmc.

whats so bad about it? I know how to install just wondering if those updates are up to date.

JayDee · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2005, 11:47:00 AM »

No, most of the time they are not up todate, and we have seen enough problems coused by it.

So, do not use it if you want help with your install.

I was very excited about this fix:

CODE

- 23-07-2005 fixed: direct opening of SMB files if no SMB authentication information is in the url

Haven't been able to play video since the last update. But alas it didn't work. I can play music from my samba share but video's still give me this log message:

CODE

ERROR cmplayer::openfile() smb://10.0.0.3/Share/Media/Video/Movies/A Movie.avi failed

Thanks for posting new builds on a more regular basis anyway!

Can someone elaborate on the reduced mic delay?

Is it realtime now?

Qu-Bit · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2005, 03:32:00 PM »

I would like to add, prior to any updating of XBMC, I always change the name of the folder of the last build I have working properly to XBMCbak. Then I move the xbe and the xml of that version over to that folder. Then I update. If anything groes worng, I can easily delete the new update, change the XBMCbak folder back to XBMC, and return the xbe and xml files to their proper places.

This has saved me a lot of heartache and pain.

Does this XBMC plays AVC videos? (videos coded with the H.264 codec)

Thx

pike · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2005, 10:13:00 AM »

not yet, and probably never 100%

There will soon be a new mplayer with LIMITED AVC support, what does limited mean?

It means that most features that makes AVC a "modern codec" (capable to make smaller files than ie XVID), will NEED TO BE DISABLED upon ENCODING, since the cpu usage they require is nothing an xbox can handle.

More info here:

@ XBMC forums

When is the esitmated time it will be complete?

pike · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2005, 05:21:00 PM »

by "it" I assume you mean mplayer with LIMITED AVC support?

"pretty soon"
