XboxMediaCenter CVS build of June 11th 2006 compiled by T3CH with a new beta version (v0.97497) of the MC360 skin, an X360 reproduction skin.
This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.

*Update* Please be aware that the MC360 skin in this build is a work in progress and contains some rather big visual errors in the new extras section. Most noticable is the Filemanager layout. Team Blackbolt is working on fixing this.

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.xboxme...SubmitBugReport

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

* From now onwards I will include the most recent "build" of MC360.

* If you wondered what happened to XBoxMediaCenter.xml, More info here and here.

Install notes from T3CH readme/nfo:

QUOTE

* DASHBOARD INSTALL (softmods)
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
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
Upload to Xbox.
- 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 here 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).

* 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.

Is that what caused XBMC to hang (well, it would endlessly say "Seeking") when scanning items to the database?

[edwinmcdunlap]

Is there any type of changelog for MC360?

[awal]

The MC360 skin is VERY buggy for me in this build. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

::edit::
It seems to have gotten better.

mc360 hangs whenever I go to movie trailers

[Caldor]

There is zero credibility in complaining about a bug and then failing to provide a properly formatted bug report or indeed putting any sense of effort in trying to help Team XBMC with the issue. Such things just fall into senseless noise.

The XBMC Manual clearly spells out how to do a properly formatted bug report. All too often the devs come on here to this forum and have to ask for debug logs and other details. It happens all too consistently here.

Please think of the value you get for free in this software and then ask yourself how you are helping.

[DarkRiot701]

Yeah... START > Extras > What happened to Scripts, File Manager, and XBMC Scripts?

Why is MC360 Credits the only thing there?

[Aquarillis]

Wow, why do they release new builds every five minuites?

Edit: Is there any way I can update from the dashboard instead of downloading everything onto my computer and then FTPing it over?

[modchipper]

This one locks up on me everytime I go into the system tab. I have done the clean install method and deleted  T & U data also.

EDIT: This started after I changed theme to glass. Can't seem to get it back to default without it locking up.

They release new builds to fix bugs. If you don't care, why download them?

No, there is no way to update automatically.

[seajay1221]

okay, so i added the advanced setting that gets rid of the file names showing up in icon mode in my videos.  worked like a charm, but now that i've removed the code from advancedsettings.xml it's still setting that option.  i can't see file names when i have icons and it's kind of annoying since i was just doing it at a test.  i upgraded to today's xbmc but it didn't fix it.  any suggestions?

[Boydster]

I would really like the start.wav file to be played again.

Doesn't quite feel right without it... And I've always thought of that as XBMC's trademark, why lose a good thing?

[phlsphr420]

no disrespect for T3CH and team blackbolt, but i suggest just waiting for the next release for those of you who have not gotten this one yet.
