Try unplugging the network cable. How old is the WIP? I've made a few updates this week...

Network cord isn't plugged in..

And, the WIP is the first one to include sorting..

Damn.... there have been several things fixed internally, particularly with the soundtrack manager.

The next-to-latest cleaned up some funkiness some people had with the soundtrack manager, which was an outgrowth of adding a "No Music" option to the safe mode menu.

You could also try plugging the cable back in (if you haven't done that yet).

This is why I encourage using X-Select 0.6, so you are never stuck.

[thetruethugg]

So, not having any music ripped with the M$ dash is the cause for the hanging?  Ok, I'll try plugging in the network cable..  And I see no reason for X-Select (Mainly because I only use MXM, and I should just launch the latest WIP from MXM) though it sounds like a great peice of software...

[BenJeremy]

Has anybody else had a chance to check out the latest update, specifically with FTP clients that have given MXM trouble?

I'd like to know if they work now. I tested XBRename, and it works fine now.

....and no, I haven't done anything yet about the misc. locked files and such, yet, but this "might" have fixed some of the problems.

[thetruethugg]

Ok, I plugged the network cable in, and it still freezes..  And since it freezes before starting the FTP, I can't do anything to fix it..  Well, other than booting a CD, so I can edit the needed files over FTP.  And, a (probably) stupid idea of mine.  Booting my 80 gig HD, flicking my switch, so the 120 gig now has power, and seeing if I can read the contents of that HD.  I'm sure it wouldn't work, and it's probably a bad idea, but comments anyone?  The only reason I would even consider this, is because the power cord came loose one time, and I just tightened it back up (the Molex cable for the HD that is), and it came out of it's 'coma' and worked like normal..

MXM locks up when trying to play a WMV for a game, i used that SDP downloader to dl the trailer for PotC and wakeboarding unleashed from xbox.com and renamed the wmv to MXM_SS.WMV put it in the game dir, refreshed the menu cache, and as soon as i go to highlight the game it locks

Probably missing an audio track.

Add an audio track or wait until 0.9n is released (Sunday night, perhaps? Have to do testing) - 0.9n eliminates that problem.

[SniperKilla]

never mind, it was encoded in WM9, i converted it to 8 and it plays fine

ahh now it is playing all choppy, i did 320 x 240, 30fps, 512Kbit, and it plays like shit, hellpp

It's not a really a MXM bug...

Anyway, just use the Stoik decoder... Visit this thread, and look under 'tools'....  

Good lukc

"WIP" Binaries updated.


* 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)


Cruising into a 0.9n release tomorrow. A few more things going in, then testing on DVD-R (cold boot and Evo-X) and some X2 BIOS testing.

And I hope this has the soundtrack bugs fixed, or whatever it was that caused my xbox to freeze when using some skins (internal simplicity, bluesmoke, blister)?  I'll try out this new WIP tonight (finally got my 120 gig working again )..

Well, the last one did have a few things to help fix soundtrack issues, so if you were using a WIP a few updates back, things should be cool now, I hope.

Plan is: I finish testing, and release 0.9n tonight (well, it might stretch into the early AM my time).

I will consider releasing a "0.9n.1" for bug fixes, and stick to my guns for 0.9o on certain features. I seem to be running out of letters

[BenJeremy]

) so unless it's a major issue, it won't be fixed in tomorrow night's release.

Speed ups may happen in the point "bug fix" release... but no particular functionality will be targeted for that release. That will allow me to concentrate on delivering features on specific 'lettered' releases leading up to 1.0

Here's the latest goods:

* Better "Game Info" screen.
* Added "Simple Init" screen (See MXM_Patcher)
* Added Color Selection, good for Matrix and Simple Init Screens (See MXM_Patcher)

Yeah - the MXM_Patcher, give that a shot. IT will let you customize the init screen and now the color (to match your Xbox paint job or "X" logo). I didn't have time to verify the changes worked, so just don't use the patched version before testing in an app directory.
