Xboxmediacenter - April 17th 2006 Cvs Build
« on: April 17, 2006, 06:34:00 PM »
XboxMediaCenter CVS build of April 17th 2006 compiled by T3CH.
This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.


Special Note From T3CH:
QUOTE

* Since XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment, I've decided to make more than one BUILD per week.
If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...SubmitBugReport

* Please note: Support for skins with versions < 2.0 has been removed

*  Easter has passed, hope you had a nice time. Here's a fresh build, less changes than usual, most likely due to Easter.

* I cleaned up the mplayer codecs folder a bit, maybe smaller rar now?



NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD
QUOTE

* XboxMediaCenter.xml: SMB Timeout setting added <samba><clienttimeout>10. <homebuttons> section removed (unsupported in 2.0 skinengine).

Install notes from T3CH readme/nfo:
QUOTE

* DASHBOARD INSTALL
Thanks to a new app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now extremely easy...
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking & transfer contents of XBMC folder TO (this is VERY important) "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<RENAME_ME.xbe>> to something your bios can boot  (see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...BMCAsDash#h44-2 or read your BIOS README)  and transfer to your C partition. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you won't  need to worry about this file on C.

* APPLICATION INSTALL
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking.
Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder.

* 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 savegame/settings (from E:/TDATA/0face008)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in XBMC/Albums/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!



The XBMC manual is available on The XboxMediaCenter manual has also been updated with information about the trainer feature, check it out on manual.xboxmediacenter.de.
You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from http://allxboxskins.com, http://www.xbox-skins.net and http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

When are we likley to see some buffering for full dvd rips run over a network ?
No buffering when playing a VOB or playing via IFO files I think that would solve the stuttring issue because they play fine on local HDD and via DVDROM.

- 16-04-2006 fixed: libsamba client didn't use nonblocking sockets during connection.. clienttimeout settings is now in xboxmediacenter.xml, defaults to 10 seconds

The time out "thing" did solve some of my problems with my SMB share.
But I stil have some problems, When connecting to my computer from My files I immediately am able to browse around in my computers dirs, but if I connect from My videos it takes about 30 sek to enter every dir.
I have the same line in the xml file looking like this:
<bookmark>
            <name>WORKGROUP (SMB) Network</name>
            <path>smb://192.168.1.2/</path>
        </bookmark>
does any one have a clue on what I am doing wrong or does any one else experience the same thing ?

There is still the bug with the animations if you add another subsection to the programs section, not a major bug and as I said before it could be the skin. Anyway, as a recap basically if you add another subsection then the bottom one in the list on the left does not enter the screen with the others, it is just there unanimated.

How many sections are needed before you see this issue?

No offense, but you folks that report problems without a debuglog or more information are of no help whatsoever without a chance of the problem being fixed.

How the heck do you expect the developers to fix your issues without providing the necessary details?

Ridiculous..

@nige182, if there is a <visible>no</visible> in that control, remove it.
