Edit: edit comment about documentation. Just noticed there was new documentation out there... step in the right direction but could still use some improvments... But it is better...
Note to the Developers: You guys rock!!! Keep up the great work!!! Just checked currently the #2 most active project on sourceforge!!! I haven't done it just yet, but sometime this week I am going to make a paypal donation to your work... Keep it up... And Thanks!!!

| who here listens to Mp3's on there xbox? seems like a waste to me but to each there own |
I do. I use it to play mp3's on the entertainment center rather than my crappy computer speakers. I don't waste my xbox drive space by loading the mp3s on there, I play them over the network... I just need to get this playlist over smb bug worked out for it to be really useful to me...
I also watch and show family/friends our home videos and photo collections that are on my computer.
Occasionally watch a movie that I downloaded.
I kinda view this as a viable media center... (less the pvr). Media Center was a good idea but a poor implementation. It's just not practicle for the average family use... They should have made media center a set top box... anyway, This is like the best of all worlds.. My son gets a cool console and I get a better media center... (now if you have to push for new features instead of bug fixes... lets talk pvr on the xbox
heheh

THE must have feature for me. Bug fixes can always come later We XBMP addicts can always download more cvs builds to get the bug'fixes'

an other example: FFW and REW during an MP3 playback is nearly impossible, it just goes way too fast

| there are some problem with the image when you encode the movie with the Pro features on Divx5.02, and i know that becausa movies encoded without the pro features wont show the blocks that are shown from time to time. The blocks are color blcoks but the colors are like the colors in the playing scene, it is like an small section would freeze and then play and again freeze again.... It doesnt happen all the time but it does bother... and i dont know if this is due to XBMP but after watching part of a movie or the whole movie when you go to the main menu to boot up the xbox not all the options are shown in the menu.. EX: after booting i dont see the systen utilities or the launch menu option... and the skin i am using goes to default instead of the one i have set... just letting you know |
I don't have any problems with the movies I encoded with the Pro features.

| 2-24-2003 config.xml updated w/ "scrollysuffix" tag. This is the seperator to indicate the break for the end/beginning of hte filename. XBMS fixes. The FTP server FINALLY supports going to root dir! Use its new FileZilla Server.xml file to make this happen. Skin.xml was updated with a few changes. Lang-1.xml updated with MANY tuples for OSD. This CVS also includes an update from MomDad to say "Programs" instead of "Applications" when on that particular screen. CHANGELOG.TXT updated. Lastly, one more bit of excellent news. There has been some progress in acheiving audio visualization in XBMP. A developer (kris) has apparently ported a visualization library (goom) it to the Xbox. However, it has _NOT_ been implimented into XBMP yet. For more info/screenshots on Goom, their homepage is is http://ios.free.fr/?page=projet&quoi=1 . |
This was taken from the latest (24th) cvs release of xbmp!so this means not long till we see audio graphics and stuff like that so you better knock that off the poll as it IS coming

Post by: SumDumGuy on March 03, 2003, 08:44:00 AM
I understand... Fixing bugs stinks... It is tedious, time consuming, its no fun and who gets praises for fixing bugs??? If you add a cool new feature everyone will be saying "SoandSo Added this NEW Feature!!!!!! So thank SoandSo for their hard work..." and you become a hero and blah blah blah... while the person focusing on bugs fixes some bugs and they say... "oh btw, that annoying bug has been fixed... Oh and SoandSo is working on another NEW Feature!!!!". Result? Everyone wants to be like SoandSo... forget the bugs, add some cool new feature, its more fun to code, its more rewarding to see a new feature than to see an old feature (work correctly), and all of the vocalized appreciation tends to be focused on the new features and not on the bug fixes...
I like new features too... I just think they should listen to the voice of the voters... People voted and debugging beat out visualizations 2 to 1... take a minute... stomp out all the bugs... get a really stable release with the current features... Then those of us who just really want a solid usable mp can have that and you can move on to new features and as you release newer versions just stop every so often to stamp out a new stable release... goto a beta/stable release system like many other dev shops... One is a stable version, the other verison is a feature rich beta version... as a beta version matures move it to stable then create a new beta with new features that are not yet stable... people have a choice... a few features behind and stable or bleeding edge and buggy...
Just my $.02

A VCD should just play when you insert it, likewise, DVD, SVCD, MPEG and DivX.... heck, even MP3 collections and image collections should just crank up, once inserted.
Also, it shouldn't matter if the disc is UDF, XDFS, or ISO9660. XBMP should ignore the differences, as far as the user is concerned.
Post by: spathi on March 10, 2003, 08:19:00 PM
also i like the suggestion of dvd to divx, it'd give the box something to do when its not being used.

DVDs are currently only recorded in 480p.... so showing them in 1080i won't do a whole lot for you. But I do think HD support would be pretty sick!! It would look so clean, and all my pr0n would be massive!!!

I happen to disagree with you on that one. Have you ever seen a Dvd scaled up to 1080i?? I
have and it looks DAMN good. In fact it smokes that same DVD at 480p. I am currently running
dvd scaled to 720p and it looks (almost) as good as film on my 92 inch wide screen.

1. To be able to seek with the analog stick (either) so that you can have variable FF/REW.
2. To use the controller/remote for all play controll. (Like DVDx where you don't have to pull up the little sub-menu on the bottom left)
3. When using thumbnails for mp3s and other audio (with no video), have XBMP display the thumbnail in full screen.
4. Audio visualization would rock.
5. Ripping capabilities.
Just my input...

What I would like to see...
Make the FTP stuff easy to config so I can get it to work. No need for encrypted passwords.
Also autolaunch DIVX, DVD- movies, whatever is in the DVD-drive.... so the missus can just put a movie in and switch the xbox ON.
Allow for different visualisations for the MP3 screen savers, even to read in winamp one maybe?
More IMDB info so users can see
get the xbox to produce popcorn when an intermission break in a film is made.

if you're refering to the dvd remote kit, support is already there. been there for quite a while actually. and if you're refering to something else, you could make it clearer

It's a pain in the arse having to configure it (even with XBMPed) on my PC every time I want to install a new CVS build.
Failing this, some sort of text editor within XBMP would be nice (I know that they've reportedly stopped working on new features, but hey, I can still ask!) so that you could configure any config file (evox.ini for example)
Oh yeah, and bring back drive browsing functions so I don't have to specifiy a drive/location for every type of media (in XBMP when browsing, you press B to go back/up a level and A to access a folder). This used to be standard in XBMP 2.1, but the features has been lost somewhere along the line. It was quite handy is all.
Just small things, but that's what I would like to see please.
And I agree 100% with all those who think that XBMP is by far the greates piece of xbox software on the planet. I take my metaphorical hat off to all those who worked on it. You are all gods amongst men.
Cheers,
-Steve.

I have only 1 Mp3 on it, and that was just to have it load the directory i pointed it to. I have a better MP3 player then the Xbox. It is meant to hook upto a home entertainment system. Its a Terratec M3PO. It takes a Hard Drive, and it also takes CDs. I can copy the Music from the CD onto the Hard Drive, or just dump it on the Hard Drive by putting it in hte Computer. Its currently got an old 5200rpm 20gig which is brilliant.
Here it is
Although, my box was different, but those are the features of it, its alot more convenient for me then using hte xobx (its got a display thing on it, and needs no Tv)
But Still, the Xbox rules for its media capabilities. Before i got that thing, i used to use my Xbox for MP3s. BUt i still store all my Xvid/DivX movies on it, i cant watch VCDs on CDR because of my Drive (Thompson)
