Mxm Givin Me A F'n Headache!
« on: October 17, 2004, 11:34:00 PM »
How do you disable caching in the mxm.xml file? What is the actual code?

I'm trying to build an auto-installer and it takes forever to build menus (my guess is that it scans the whole cd which I don't want).

Thanks for any useful help given...

This auto-caching really sucks, especially since you can't diasble it. I really wanted to use MXM as the frontend, now I think I'll use UnleashX. It's nearly just as powerful...

That's what I was trying to find out.

I wrote my own menu.xml menu but it would still take about 3 minutes or so before it would show the menu...

I didn't know exactly how to do it, that's why I asked.

Any help would be appreciated, like sample scripts etc..

Thanks :)

Same goes for me.   I'm using MXM as an app right now, trying to learn how to use it.  But, writing .xml's is challenging for me because I'm a noob idiot and can't figure out where to put things, what order to put them in, or even how to write it properly.  I tried to write it to play my soundtrack on my box and got nothing.  I know I did it wrong.  An example .xml would be a GODSEND!

U probably have to reset your menu cache.  Just press Y in the dash and select "Reset Menu Cache", then reboot.  This is the default option to have a faster bootup... U can disable cacheing if u want.
