I have a problem, as you can see.

I load Kai Engine on the PC. Everything looks food. Fire up XBMC and go to programs and Xlink Kai. Nothing! :angry:

I don't mean no games. I mean nothing. No options, no arenas nothing.

I  my xtag and password in XBMC. I can also connect on the PC. I thought I missed something in the Quick Start Guide so I went through it again. I followed it to the letter and it still doesn't work.

I haven't seen a post like this one, but if anybody can help me out it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

load the gui on the computer, is it recognizing the xbox, i.e. mac address in the info button, if so, the go back to starting just the engine, check in XBMC that in the kai settings you are telling XBMC where the kai engine is, i.e. the ip address of the computer running kai

Well, I'm sorry to say that didn't work.

The GUI can see my xbox perfectly. I can browse to and join games when I use the PC version.

I got the same results as before when I tried to use the XBMC GUI. Nothing. Once again no options, no arenas, no nothing.

Thanks for trying, too bad it didn't work.

Anybody else out there have some ideas?

don't know if you found this/or used it as a guide but it sounds like a similar problem I had while first playing with XLink (just 7 days old on it so def. not a pro).  If you have done this, sorry, it worked for me after following the steps.

1. Goto www.teamxlink.co.uk and sign up for an Xtag and download Xlink Kai Evo Vll
2. After installing Xlink open the Kai Configuration Tool
Now that you are looking at the Configuration screen at the top you will see “Select a profile, the template will be applied over your settings.” At the drop box underneath it, select the profile “Engine only (for dashboards)”.
3. Next put in your Default Username and Password. This is the Xtag u signed up for at the main xlink website before.
4. Ok now go to the left side of the configuration window and you’ll see two options here, one Being “Launch UI”, leave this one unchecked, then underneath it you will see “Launch Engine”, make sure this one is Checked.
5. Now go to “Close UI After” and select “Never” from the drop box.
6. Finally go to “Accept UI connections From” and select “Any IP Address” from the drop box.
7. Now you are done configuring Kai hit “OK” to save your setting and exit.
8. Connect to your xbox and get the “xboxmediacenter.xml” file from the XBMC folder, if your using Flash FXP right click and select “edit” from the list.
9. After opening the .xml file you will see a bunch of code, look for a section that looks like this (it’s close to the top of the .xml file):

<xlink>
<username>Put Your Xtag Username here</username>
<password>Put Your Password here</password>
</xlink>

(THIS WAS MISSING IN MY XML FILE)


when your done putting your Xtag and password in, upload the .xml back to your xbox with the changes you’ve made to it.
10. Go back to your computer and start up the Xlink Engine from your start menu.
11. Next restart your xbox and load up XBMC.
12. Now with the default skin the Xlink icon is at the top left, and it’s the 4th icon from the left, select it and it will bring you to the main menu.
12a. Not that this is a step or anything, but I think that the Project Mayhem skin is nicer for using Xlink, and it has a really nice layout, im not sure but I think it comes with the new CVS build 6-6-04…if not get it from www.allxboxskins.com
13. Now if everything was done right your Xtag should be at the top and you should now be able to go into the arenas and see other users in there.
14. All you have to do now is load up a game and start playin’ )

If you have a NEW CVS build (30th November or later) then you won't be doing anything with the XML - it's all in the options. 6 / 6 / 04 is pretty damn old.

did you go into the options section of xbmc and set the ip address of the computer running the engine?  I assume so, did you try updating your xbmc, not sure what build you are using, I just update stable builds through avalaunch.  Because in the recent versions, you set your tag and pass in xbmc, and that is where set the ip address of engine is also
