One thing Ive noticed is with the new dir layout for the skinning UI and font usage. Skins available for download from the menu include .ttf's in their folder.. yet ava will only use fonts that reside in media/skins/default.

Also font sizing doesnt work.. I dont know that it ever did tho.

We already know about this. I was planning on fixing it before the release, but somehow it got released before I got the chance smile.gif

Don't worry. We know what's wrong smile.gif

I've got the same problem as someone from above, freezes when trying to load the background from w:/. I'm guessing that's where it caches the images, but I don't have a w:/, damnit.

Avalaunch is freezing on my soft modded xbox when launched as dashboard.
When it tries to load it only displays some very thin horizontal colored lines that flicker very fast. I don't get to see any of the loading text.
It runs just fine as an app.

Xbox v 1.3
160GB WD HD  G: Partition enabled
Bioses tried:
BFM_M7
BFM_evoxd6 Eject Fix LBA48 (My default bios for now)
BFM_X2_4976.02
BFM_X2_4977

Got the package from the usual places, unrared and tried running from C, E and F.
Deleted entire Media folder and the saved/cached ava data and uploaded new ava.
Tried static/dhcp and no link, no background music and with music, delete language files, tried many things but couldn't get it to work as a dash.
I've decided to put it on F: for now and the old ava on C: to do more tests.
I love being able to download skins and preview them, that's just great!
And it also seems sharper.
Great release guys. Now if I could use this new version as my default dash, it would be perfect =)
Oh well, 'll just stick with .48 for now

I am getting a "buffering mp3" splash screen when pressing left thumb. Normally whould get just 1 screen and after that online music but now nothing only the repeating buffering screen appearing with 2 sec intervals.

My network is ok because I do het the newsfeed.

two bugs:

1.  Running avalaunch "update" on version .48.2   says it will download an patch, after "upgrade" your ava is downgraded to 0.48


2.  Pressing "Play" on the remote causes the AVA to hang instantly.
(I've tried this hopeing that background music would start to play)  (earlier request)


thnx.

I suspect a bug when lauching programs from an avalaunch that was executed by another program.

check this out:
-I run Avalaunch as my dashboard  (it works well - no problems)
-I start XBMC
-IF I start Avalaunch from XBMC by rebooting ("orange" exit buton)  - then Avalaunch works perfectly.

but:

-IF I start Avalaunch from XBMC (using the "green" exit),  it often freezes while starting other programs

(The "green" exit from XBMC does only execute Avalauch - while teh "orange" exit button resets XBOX (the green blob & everything else )


****
The Joker : XBMC doesn't exit cleanly yet, so a green reboot will mess things up for launching.

Although one thing, it would be nice to re-start the music with the Left Trigger + Left Thumbstick once you stop it. (Sorry, I know this isn't a feature request post).

Same way you start the music, just click the left stick and your music restarts ...

This only happens when the URL in your shoutcast file is no longer valid.

I've experienced this myself, it will constantly try to buffer ... if you click your left stick it'll try the next one.

When this happened to me, the servers IP address in the URL to my streams had changed so it was doing it for all of them.

Verify your URL's.

It's great, I worked right off with my TSOP flash mod but I can't get it to work with PBL. It will run if I first load evox as a dash and then start avalaunch but I can't get it to run as the default dash. I have tried all BFM bioses, both audio and font tricks with the standard bios and also loading PBL with the modded bios but it still won't work.
Anyone had luck with PBL and avalaunch 0.48.2 as the default dash?

Updated to 0.48.2 today, and noticed that in Settings > Hardware Info > Misc Xbox Info

Xbox memory is 0 mb, and Slave is :<backslash>D

I'm not sure why but I posted 3 or 4 times, but its not taking the backslash between the : and D...

I have only tested this on my main XB, I will put it on my other one later tonight, and see if it does the same.

XBox is a 1.0 w/ Samsung DVD unit, let me know if you need more info.

I'm on a soft modded XBox and I, like others here, can't get Ava 48.2 to launch as my default dash. I suspect this is because Ava .48.2 displays launching text that displays over a transparent background that is incompatible with PBL. You can read my thread here. We can confirm/disprove my theory easily enough if there is an option in the config xml file to turn off the text that displays on initial bootup. Is anyone familiar with an option like this?

I think I have noticed this one annoying bug in every release.  When I transfer a small file via ftp, like a font file it wont transfer.  And even when I try to transfer a small file from CD like a .xm file from hackd Ms Dash, it goes into like a loop, just gets stuck on that file and wont transfer it.

PBL, if i remember correctly, is the phoenix bios loader.

i dont know much about it, but you can happily search for it now.

This is just a answer to multiple quests about what is PBL

Not sure whether to repost this from the .481 bug report.. I am still having a problem where my RCA (Proscan VCR remote) will crash Avalaunch when I hit the play button.  The play codes are not the same for the xbox remote as the the VCR (If I hit play on my xbox remote it will not play on my VCR).  This is the only button that will crash the xbox. (just freezes everything.. the mp3 playback, the news scroll, etc).  Is there a way to fine tune the "remote" commands?  It doesn't freeze when using evox, Xboxmediaplayer, XBMC or any other apps that support remotes (that I have seen yet).

Thanks

Not sure if this is a bug or a suggestion, but when running Ava on a network and with the RSS feeds, it seems that the games / apps / etc menus are not populated until AFTER it establishes the network connection and the newsfeed begins.  This amounts to booting and waiting 5-10sec before being able to start a game.  

Would it be possible to populate the menus first, and then establish network communication?

Disregard my last post. I think that the default movieplayer path is wrong for my setup. I was using the xboxdash.xbe with my previous version......

1) Booting with Mp3 Playback on -> stopping mp3 playback, trying to transfer a file from or to the xbox will not work (no transfer ever). (i had a ftp connection initiated before stopping the mp3 , any new connections did not resolve the problem)

2) Resume Xbox -> PC transfer is *messed* up and results in *messed* up files.

TJ :
1. unable to reproduce
2. FTP has not been looked at since Boostmode.  full rewrite has started.

If I have AVA set to static and I try to download skins, it goes to a black screen and I have to restart. The only fix is to change ava to DHCP.

The BG music continues, but I have to restart.

Yeah i have the same, it takes awfully long with a 250gb and dhcp :S

I'm using the filemanager a lot for transferring between xboxes.
Sometimes it goes wrong or whatever, at least transfer stops, theres no way to recover from that, just a full reboot.
And one other thing, isnt there a way to stop the transfer and keep the current queue by a button from the joypad??? Pausing like flashfxp would be nice also smile.gif (maybe even lists?)

When running Avalaunch, I am unable to access my memory card when I ftp into my xbox.  I know my memory card is working properly , because it works fine with evox.

Downloaded newest version.  Started it up and it flashed my BIOS.  How it was able to do this is, I have no idea.  AVA started up then the LINUX Cromwell Flash screen came up,  Then I shut it down before anything else happened.  Very strange, how could it switch my BIOS Bank?  I fixed it with Evox and deleted AVA.
Thanks

Avalaunch does not have any flash capability. It is strange that you got the Crowell bios up. Are you sure you did not have Cromwell flashed on one of your banks?

Can someone explain this to me.  I have the same problem with the "filling buffer" mp3 splash screen.  I just started using avaluanch, so im not familiar with it.  I don't have a shoutcast URL(im assuming), or is the shoutcast URL www.shoutcast.com? I have no clue.

1.   try to navigate to "settings" /network using the remote control (at least in port 4)
-you will be stuck in a menu-loop until plugging in a controller.

----------------------

2. file transfer between two Avalaunch-boxes (filemanager):     - when transferring from box1 to box2 - IF destination partition on box 2 gets full , then the transfer freezes, needing a reboot. of both boxes.

Bakin, shoutcast is a protocol, its a way a radio works as example, how they talk to each other, you have to find radios yourself and edit the .sc files in your shoutcast directory for it to work.

And Avalaunch doesnt show memory cards via FTP or at all, that's not a bug, but a feature that isn't there yet smile.gif

So will it stop doing the "filling buffer" splash screen if I delete all the entries in the sample.sc file?
