Hey BJ,  Im happy to say that im back up and running again,  got a new xbox v 1.5
and mxm runs flawlessly even with the 160 gig HD

There is only one problem that I noticed  (yes another While Ftp-ing)
Since I was restoring all my Files from the previous xbox the system would be on for some time and I noticed that from time to time MXM would freeze if I left it at Idle fo a while.

I thought it was the Screensaver trying to kik in so I disabled it , and no luck

So I whent to the Y- Menu and went to the System Info Screen and left it there for a while.  It never froze in the System info Screen so I figured it had to do with the video.

So I sat in front of the tv untill I saw what  happened,  And it turns out that the Preview video at about the 3rd or fourth time it loops the audio started getting out of sync and suddenly thats where it froze.

This is no big deal,  Just noticed because of my circumstances (how often do people leave MXM idle    lol)

Just thougt Id let you know because Some other people had mxm freezing also but dont know if it was related.

ok BJ thanks   gotta go work on a skin now  lol :lol:

MXM rocks

ok, this one is wierd.

If you run the DateFix script (DateFix.xa) and set the date a DAY behind what the current date is... it stops the background video but not the preview video.


If you set it back to the original date... the video starts playing again.


I did this with MXM live (easy to tell) and EverySunday skins ... so i dont think its a skin problem... and the action script doesnt produce an error.  Its just a really wierd side effect of the date change

Yes, due to the timestamp changing on the multimedia timers...

Less than perfect, but noted, nonetheless....

OK.... I'll be revisiting the video a bit more (I think I've got the WMV9 hangup solved with the latest "WIP" binaries), so perhaps there's something to clean up in there.

Thanks

Not meaning support right? , just that it wont lockup mxm.

Correct, it won't lock up. If I get time, I might add something to indicate the format is bad... perhaps an internal error log that the ActionScripts can access.

I have a problem playing gta 3 and vice city with mxm 0.9n.6. it gets to the initial load screen then locks. whether it is off a dvd-r or the hard drive, it won't work.

[koldfuzion]

gta iii works fine for me.  I think your game is messed up.

You're in the wrong group....this is talked about in other forums.  It's not a problem with the dash.  Mine works fine but originally froze at the load screen like yours does.  All you have to do is extract the ISO to your hard disc with Qwix then FlashFXP it over to your hard disc and it will work.

Or do like I did...

buy the f**king game... bought this the day it came out...

Hey, yeah.. I could have gotten it other ways... but this game whips so much a** that they deserve my money...
Just like MXM whips your momma a** so hard, that she can't help but pay the man.

[pokecancer]

it is not my game. it is mxm. it boots just fine under evo.

[Yuyu]

Sorry, read yourwishis mine and KAC answers below to get it working....

[KAC]

pokecancer, you may want to try this also, I got this from the executer site, might help:

I've seen quite a few posts these last few days about certain games not working or some people and not others. Well after investigation we found that it was down to a corrupt system clock. The game has an AUTOSAVE feature that doesn't work if the clock is all screwed so it either crashes or refuses to load. If you are having these issues go into your MS dash and set your clock manually and try again - you will find this most probably fixes your problem.

[koldfuzion]

 for KAC for a sensible answer ...      yours was good too yourwishismine

I was also having problems with the ftp, I fixed it by going in the
menu->Configure->network, and changed the Synchronize time using server to NO.
Now it works without any problems.
