But first they will have to implement a way to play audio cd's.

You already know what the movie you are going to watch is, but it could be useful if you could save the pic as the thumbnail for the movie.

I got the 2-09-03 CVS build. The AVIs in xVid/DivX is proper since it works perfectly on my PC/laptop and I scanned it for errors. I dunno how long you FF your movies but 5-6 minutes in (if I'm lucky) it stops updating the video display and just advances the clock. Being able to arbitrarily selecting a portion of the movie should be a basic feature. Hey I'm not complaining too much since it's free but this is supposed to be one of the killer apps for the Xbox. I'm just a bit frustrated since it seems like they're focused on adding more features when the features already there aren't 100% yet (i.e. misplaced priorities).

| Still buggy but a nice surprise. Press the white controller button while highligted over a movie (make sure the movie name is clear. Ie. The Phantom Menace.avi or such. Check it out:) Remember STILL BUGGY and in EXPERIMENTAL STAGES. |
Funny how you implemented IMDB support which is a kick ass feature and everyone is bitching about ff and shit like that.. Nice work love the feature, just need it to thumbnail as you said oh and remote support for it, but now I'm the one bitching..

moodorky;
Its their time and their project, they can set the priority to whatever makes them want to continue programming. When people start bitching and this become more of a pain than a hobby, you can say bye bye to xbmp.
Appreciate what they give us and everyone should definately stop complaining about what they want.
To be honest I think everyone is getting tired of all these complaints.
"Why did they do that they should do this"
"When will X feature be in there, we need it now!"
I tell you all what, pick up a C++ book and start programming. If you want it that bad, do it yourself.
Thats not directed directly to you, just everyone before you bitch remember that this is their time they are giving to us for free.

they release to us for FREE. Use it, enjoy It, hope for bug fixes.

of the people who work hard on this great app.
just my 2 cents

Don't stop posting. I couldn't wait to try the IMDB support when I downloaded the CVS yesterday! What's absolutely amazing is that it's a very early prototype but it already works perfectly.
Yes, most of us already know what the movie that we put on the xbox is, but if you really were using your xbox to it's fullest potential you would have one setup in the living room/family room for everyone to enjoy. While I may know what the movie is, my girlfriend or my guests may not. Plus the movie poster it grabs from IMDB is perfect for a thumbnail and they are implementing ways for it to be automatically saved for you.
FF/RW work great in the latest CVS released for all of my xVids and Divxs. This too was one of my biggest complaints but now it works perfectly
These are the hardest working guys out there. They get more done in a day then most groups get done in a month! (When exactly was the last Nexgen update...)
Instead of complaining why don't you send a few bucks to the team to show your support? In my opinion, they have definitely earned it.

It is their free time and I value that
. But hey, you're right. I haven't done any Visual C++ programming since Uni. I think it's high time i get on my ass and get to know the XDK and Xbox homebrew development. All I'm after is a very basic media player anyway, not a dashboard replacement with features up the kazoo
.

I guess I wont mention my surprise either.
