Small update. No real new features, but PASV seems to be working now, and the FTP shouldn't hang after some usage.

Beta 0.9m
* Fixed FTP Issues:
 - Can now properly overwrite files
 - Corrected issue with some FTP Clients not displaying directory listings
 - RMD should work 100% now
 - Directory Listings clone Evo-X output
 - PASV now works (some testing done)

Beta 0.9n "WIP"
* Fixed problem with "Bounce" modifier that caused the size to be screwed up for
 dynamic strings when they changed.
* Implimented <SkinsPath> for <Main> node. Defaults to MXM path, but this will override the value and
 search will occur in the path specified in this element.
* Implimented FTP SITE commands:
 SITE reboot
 SITE shutdown
* Added <DuplicateOK> property to item entries. If True, it overrides check for duplicates. False has no effect.
* Fixed some issues with the FTP Server, works with AceFTP 2
* Fixed XML "cooking" - use of escaped symbols ampersand, greater and less than. Tested with Toejam & Earl
* Added "FlashID" Text String (smell anything burning?)
* Added Screenshot capability!!!! RIGHT-TRIGGER and "X" will capture screen captures to Z:
* Added X:, Y:, and Z: to the FTP Served drives.
* Added internal images: ::ICO_ACTION, ::ICO_DIR, ::ICO_DVD, ::ICO_EMU, ::ICO_FILE, ::ICO_HD,
 ::ICO_LOCK, ::ICO_MEDIA, ::ICO_MUSIC, ::ICO_WAVE, ::ICO_XBE
* Internalized a master XML script that will hold internal skins, infoscreens and various other things.
* Added masahiko's "Simplicity" skin to the internal skin list.
* Skin Selection... not terribly stable, due to a number of factors, I am forcing a reboot after you select
 anything but "Random" - The changes go into MXM's "User" directory (U:Pref.xml or E:UDATA0004321Pref.xml)
* Some Newsfeed capability...
 Add a Newsfeed node into the Config node of MXM.xml:
 <Config>
   :   :
  <Newsfeed name="user">
   <Global>True</Global>
   <RotateChannels>False</RotateChannels>
   <URL>http://www.xbox-scen...scene.xml</URL>
   <UpdateIntervalMin>28</UpdateIntervalMin>
   <RotateItemInterval>10</RotateItemInterval>
  </Newsfeed>
   :   :
 </Config>
 Access it with a text source of "newsfeed"
 The user MUST have a proper DNS defined, otherwise, they have to use the dotted 'numeric' IP for the server.
* Added status indicator to MatrixEffect screen (also entailed new, more complete font; as a consequence,
 the internal Matrix Font is usable now... lowercase alphas OK, uppercase are Matrix Symbols)
* Added Oswald's "Uyenbox3" skin to the internal skin list.
* Changed "Reboot" to full Power Cycle
* Added "PowerCycle" to menu options (SITE command)
* Added new attributes to AutoDir:
 "NoDemo" - If "True" will prevent AutoDir from including any searches into directories with 'demo' in name
 "DefaultOnly" - Prevents AutoDir from seeing anything but "default.xbe" files when searching for xbe files
                 (This does not affect directories with MXM_Entry.xml files)            
* Corrected filetimes in FTP Server to LOCAL TIME!!!!
* Fixed DateFormat bug. Added new formats for Time and Date:
 Time - 0=24 hour clock HH:MM:SS
        1=12 hour clock HH:MM:SSxm with AM/PM indicator
        2=24 hour clock HH:MM
        3=12 hour clock HH:MMxm with AM/PM indicator
 Date - 0=American, MM/DD/YY
        1=Euro1, YY/MM/DD
        2=Euro2, DD/MM YY
        3=Euro3, DD/MM/YY
 TimeSepChar and DateSepChar will replace the ":" and "/" respectively.
* FINALLY! Fixed the issue with no-audio WMVs. It seems it WAS my fault after all. Well, not entirely... M$ is a
 bit lame on how the routine I was using worked; so after a bit of re-working, videos should work both with and
 without audio.
* Fixed problem with Pref.xml not being saved, if you never ran MXM as an app (only dash) - the UDATA and TDATA
 directories were never created. This is now checked on startup and these directories are created.
* OK, found the bug preventing Command Lines from working. Try again...
* Finally! Alpha  sorting! Current WIP is defaults to alpha sorting, it should cascade to all submenu levels.
 <Sortfield> tag in an item begins the sorting (you cannot next these) which continues until the end of the entries or an <EndSort> tag
 is encountered.
* Alpha Sorting has been expanded to support up to three sort fields - just use additional <SortField> tags
* Preferences menu has been beefed up.
* Additional AutoConfig type added... "Apps & Games" set by the Preferences menu.
* Fixed IR Remote operation in system menus
* Fixed Random Soundtrack using a randomized index table (Shuffle play).
* Fixed "pam" in time (She didn't need to be in there anyway...)
* Fixed Video Standard String
* Added <PasscodeMD5> tag to item entries... used INSTEAD OF <passcode>  if additional security is desired.
 It's the MD5 hash of the 5 character alphanumeric uppercase passcode
* Added ability to select video standard from preferences/local menu
* "SAFE MODE" - if initialization fails on startup, rebooting should result in a safe mode menu. This is pretty straightforward from there.
 You can initiate "Safe Mode" by pressing "START" during initialization.
* <videomode> tag in entry allows you to set NTSC or PAL, IF you set "Multi Standard" in TV Type Preference setting.
* Added "SITE VIDEO PAL" and "SITE VIDEO NTSC" as recovery commands available using the FTP Server.
 These will set the video and reboot the Xbox. Use these if your display gets hosed completely (then heed the warnings!).
* Added "No Music" option to safe mode choices
* Reworked a couple things on the soundtrack manager
* Work done on FTP Server. XBRenamer now works (Found bug in RETR code)
* Fixed issue with FTP Server when moronic client attempts to create an existing directory (succeeds now)
* Added "CGEntryValueDWORD" string source, to report values as 10 character, 8 digit, C-Style hex values (0x00000000)
* Added "CGEntryMode" to report the desired video mode
* Added <WordWrapEnable> and <WordWrapWidth> to Text Elements - scaling is based on this width (implied), and fonts are displayed proportionally.
* Fixed "bug" that caused seeming random selection in the root menu (legacy from DVD Menu days)
* Better "Game Info" screen.
* Added "Simple Init" screen (See MXM_Patcher)
* Added Color Selection, good for Matrix and Simple Init Screens (See MXM_Patcher)
* NOTE: Renaming failures in FTP are due to open files in those directories!! I'll need to come up with something
 to work around this limitation. It is an unfortunate side affect of having a feature-rich skinning system

works better than with ws_ftp pro actually

[thetruethugg]

Hmm, yes it does seem to work quite well with AceFTP 3.0, not 2.0 however..

I still have problems with the clock. I posted it in the MXM L Bugs, but that post was removed and I didn't see if anyone answered to my question.

I have problems with displaying the time. I don't want the date so I used this code:
<LayoutElement Type="Text" Source="Time" font="fixedsys2">
<Pos t="39" l="500" w="460" h="35" />

I dont know if the tag should be like that but it displays the time correct, but it has a blackbox in the background, i want the time without that black background? Can I do that now, I have tried with K, L and M. Or will it be availible in the next version?

I did answer that one....

Use a different font. FixedSys is a bitmap font, not a TrueType font - I think FontMaker builds it incorrectly in that situation.

There's absolutely nothing MXM can do to fix a problem with a 'bad' font XPR file

My suggestion the first time around was to find a monospaced font similar to FixedSys in a TrueType flavor on one of the many font sites on the web.

[MaskingTape]

Ahh so close with the FTP support! All the problems I had before are gone but I still can't use ISO Xfer with it. It just sits there and says connected. :-(

Hmmmm... sounds like a good one to report to xISO Xfer

They are probably looking for EXACTLY what Evo-X reports in their responses, rather than the proper error codes.

Hmm I tried with Arial and another TrueType font. Same problem on all of them. But they can be displayed as normal text objects with the black background.
Fixedsys (Bitmap font)
Arial (Open Type)
8-bit Limit (TrueType)
same on all of them.

[BenJeremy]

That's very strange.

I'm sending you a PM so you can upload me the skin.

[Crash N Burn]

Hell yes this does it for me .............Games kick in @ HD everything stable . BJ thank you 4 the 9m release. IMO this should be an official 1.0 release, but hey it's your creation    Can't wait to see what's up next .





,,.......................................................Crash N Burn

[jlm5151]

Yeah I have to agree, this release is very stable. I've had no problems whatsoever with FlashFXP. Great Release and we look forward to future ones.



Oh and Crash, you got any more skins coming?
