INSTALL NOTES from T3CH readme/nfo:
QUOTE
* APPLICATION INSTALL
- Fresh Install: Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder (or where you want it).
- Upgrade: Backup the XBMC\UserData folder. Transfer whole XBMC folder to Xbox. Overwrite UserData folder with your backed up copy.
* DASHBOARD INSTALL (SOFTMODS)
ARE NOT COVERED IN THIS README, SEE http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=406656
* DASHBOARD INSTALL
- Option 1. Team XBMC's shortcut tool.
It's included in the _tools folder as <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>> + <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg>>.
Instructions here: http://xboxmediacent...=As_a_Dashboard (Option 1).
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
See APPLICATION INSTALL above.
- Option 2. Thanks to an app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now easy...
Transfer contents of XBMC folder (this is VERY important since the tool is hardcoded) TO "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<SHORTCUT by TEAM UIX.xbe>> to something your bios can boot (see http://xboxmediacent...=As_a_Dashboard or read your BIOS README) and transfer to location your mod solution boots. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you need not to worry about this file (unless you move XBMC).
* AN INTRODUCTION TO PLUGINS
XBMC has a system for Media plugins to allow browsing of remote content (Internet) using the regular filesystem approach.
Plugins are put inside >>XBMC/plugins/<video/music/pictures>/<< (I already do this for the one/s I include), furthermore they also need to be installed as a source in (video/music/pictures).
You do this install by using the contextmenu choice >>Add New Source<< while in ROOT list and then choosing ***Plugins as source.
Then you highlight (not select) the folder of the plugin you want to install. It will be saved inside sources.xml for future.
* WIN32 PC ENVIRONMENT INSTRUCTIONS (WIN32 FOLDER)
Good to know, this requires DirectX9 Runtimes to be installed. Also this doesn't work with all graphics cards.
You need to:
- Copy XBMC_PC.exe & 'run_me_first.bat' from win32 to XBMC folder
- Run 'run_me_first.bat'
- Run XBMC_PC.exe
* UPGRADE TIPS
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
- Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build
- Delete old settings (from UserData/guisettings.xml)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in UserData/Database/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!
INFORMATION from T3CH readme/nfo:
QUOTE
XBMC's online manual can be found at http://wiki.xboxmediacenter.com/ .
Any questions or support issues, are best asked in the XBMC support forums, which are located at http://forum.xboxmediacenter.com , or in the official IRC support channel, #XBMC on Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net). (NOTE folks in #XBMC can't help with info where to find builds)
If you want other scripts (extra 3rd party components), see
- http://www.xbmcscripts.com or use the included script installer!
If you want trainers, grab them at
- http://www.google.co...q=xbox trainers
The xbe has been retail patched and was built using v5849 of the XDK.
If you want to remove the startup logo, remove splash.png from the \media folder.
If you want to remove the startup sound, remove start.wav from the \skin\Project Mayhem III\sounds\ folder.

2 weeks is fine for me, as long as no critical bugs were introduced in the previous build. I suggest you put a torrent up on mininova, it'd help the load.

1. does xbmcscripts.com ever work? all script downloads are failing for me (corrupt zip...) and i'm guessing it's something to do with the php errors all over the xbmcscripts website pages. not been around long enough to know if this is just temporary...
2. i originally installed using krayzie's extras, transfering the XBMC folder contents to E:/Apps/Extras/DASHBOARD, then running krayzie's extras app, backup old dash, test new dash, reboot, then run extras again to install (which afaik copies all contents of the DASH... folder to wherever it needs to (i'm guessing Q:/?).
would doing the same thing to update xbmc work just as well? presumably it just does the same thing, overwriting all the files. obv. could backup then replace the UserData thing at the same time.
thanks.

I find myself hitting T3CH website more and more since the two week thing.
I only update approx every three weeks, but I like to see what changes and
fixes have been made. Really addicted!
Really looking forward to my 360 having this level of software one day.
I am using my xbox 1 everyday via XBMC, and my 360 once a week at weekends.
Keep on keeping my xbox1 fresh.
Thanks Again for your time and hard work.
As before two weeks is great with me.

I just find it funny that they no longer maintain the xlink kai support in XBMC (which has been broken for a long time) and want to remove it. Yet they still leave it.
Then they take a useful (still working) feature and remove it.
Post by: theseige on January 28, 2008, 05:16:00 PM
TV Shows\Simpsons\Season 1 <- Problem. The cached version will stay. When manually chosing a thumbnail, the old one will stay, when adding a new image called folder.jpg or season 1.jpg the cached version will stay. Not sure what else there is to do. This seems to be a bug. XBMC should remove and change the tumbnail when instructed to do so.....thanks

So it looks like it was removed because they are too lazy to maintain that part of the code.
I just find it funny that they no longer maintain the xlink kai support in XBMC (which has been broken for a long time) and want to remove it. Yet they still leave it.

I'm disgusted at your comment!
XBMC is developed by developers that are kind enough to share there work and they work on it in there own time. If a developer wants a feature "he adds it" if a user suggests a worthwhile idea then a developer takes it into consideration and looks at the benefits as a whole, if positive then we all get it.
You want KAI fixed?
#1 - Either grab a book on c++ and we will happily accept a patch.
#2 - Wait for a developer to see it as worthwhile taking the time to fix.
OR
#3 - SHUT UP!

I have just softmodded my first XBOX and this is fantastic! I hope to become someone who can add value as I become more familiar.
However, I do need to ask a question or two, and please forgive me if this is a newbie question:
Is anyone else having problems getting their ripped DVD recognized by the IMDB link?
Background: My network shares are fine, internet connectivity is no problem. I am running the latest build in the dashboard (not apps) subdirectory. I am signed up for the T3CH RSS feed, and have successfully used the "T3CH Upgrader script" to do the upgrade on my system. MP3's are scanned into the DB and show up great in the library. For DVD ripping to my network storage I use ANYDVD and DVD Shrink. I can store in both File Format and ISO modes.
Problem: The previous version of T3CH XBMC read the fractured VOB files, and came back saying all my videos were the same "whitesnake" music video ("my... my... my" ugh!
).So, I tried to store in ISO mode, with the name of the ISO being the same as teh DVD Disk.
In either case, no IMDB (or other DB) connectivity.
1) Is this lack of connectivity a known issue?
2) Is there a best way to store the DVD rip so that it will be recognised & catagoried?
With great appreciation! V.

I removed all cache and everything from the 13-01-08 version and tried a clean install of 27-01-08 and imdb still doesn't work.
Bit of a bummer. Specially when you have to re-do over 200 movies.
So I hope T3CH doesn't wait 2 more weeks to release the next version. And that this bug's fixed in the next version.

Thanks T3CH. Two weeks should be fine. I only update my boxes about every 4-6 months.
agreed, 2 weeks would be good.
i am slowly losing more and more time to work and don't update as frequently since everything just works so well as is. however, i am always scanning the updates for new features and usually will update them on a test box before unleashing the new build on the machines throughout the rest of the house...
a big thanks again...
as an aside, i recently installed the oldest version of xbmc i could find in my pc backups and it was dated 2004-07-29...wow things have changed in huge ways, thanks again to the whole team!

Fine use Gasgiver.... and if you dont like something learn to code and do it yourself!
These are people you've probably never met or spoken to ARE DOING THIS FOR FREE!
When was the last time you did anything for FREE for someone?
T3CH (THE best XBMC builder) and Team XBMC dont for one minute think the rest of us feel this way.
Thank you as always for the build!
I agree with you.
Pretty unbelievable for software that is free.
And for which support and updates are second to none.

I for one thank you all.....

Don't know if anyone still checks this or not, but let's just say that I f*ed up my XBMC (and my Xbox too, apparently) pretty badly.
When I updated to T3CH's XBMC I found that all my old skins were incompatible (below V2). So just to try something out, I changed the version number in the .xml file of one of them to v2.0. Well now whenever I boot my xbox up it just goes to a black screen. I can't load retail games or DVD movies. Is there any way of backing out of this without cracking open my Xbox? I can't even FTP in because it doesn't boot that far.
Any advice?

For some reason, none of the text is showing up with this new update. I tried with both the script and xbins versions. Any ideas? Should I just use an older build?
You're not running PAL 16x9 by any chance are you AND you're previous build was a 2007 one? If so, you need to delete the contents of the \skin\Project Mayhem III\PAL16x9 directory on your Xbox before upgrading. This was in the readme for the XBMC-SVN_2008-01-06_rev11247-T3CH and XBMC-SVN_2008-01-13_rev11320-T3CH builds for reference.

I had the same problem with builds 2008-01-13 and 2008-01-27. I was able to fix the issue by copying the scraper (imdb.xml) over from the 2008-01-06 build. The scrapers are located in XBMC/system/scrapers/video.
The only other scraper I use on a regular basis is the one for tvdb and I haven't had any issues with it.

I can't seem to find this answer, so if anyone could help me that would be great. It's been a long time since I've upgraded the XBMC.
While I do enjoy this newer version(I just reloaded all and started over, so no old code exists) Now, when you select a movie or a TV show, it has a little wait indicator in the corner(I'm assuming a little bit of buffering).
Thing is, on the older build it didn't do that, when I selected the show, it instantly played, no waiting and I never had any trouble with A/V sync or anything.
Is there a way to go back to that instant mode, as this pre-buffer stuff is kind of annoying. Especially when I really don't need it. (and I've decreased the Cache value with no effect) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I have the same issue here.
I'm upgrading from XBMC-SVN_2007-04-29_rev8692-T3CH to this new build and notice the small loading icon.
Now my video are not starting directly when i select them, always have to wait 7-10 sec before they play.
I dont known when they add this new feature but it's annoying, I prefer the instant mode too.
If you find something please let me known.

Yeah I believe I read somewhere on this forum that it has to do with your network setting in xbmc. Instead of using names in smb and/or ftp (computer name or workgroup name) use the IP address. It fixed the issue for me.

Apparantly theres a bug in this version which causes TVinfo to not be scanned, can I just update the xml's or is a new build needed ?
New build.

Thank for the help !

I was just looking at the XBMC Changelog, and this has since been fixed. So next T3CH release, TV scraping should work again (unless it breaks again before the release
).

[...] in this one I get the message that no audio stream is available [...]
I think this is the exact same problem as I have. I will try the following (as soon as I have some spare time):
- AVI file (AC3) playing
- Installation from scratch
I will let you know

Now, I'm not sure if it does this with normal videos (and the way I'm doing this is VERY unethical), so I'm just going to explain the entire scenario to you all:
I have a movie that I ripped into an .avi file (4.3GB) and tried messing with Nero to burn it to a DVD...but had too many problems. So, I came up with the idea that I would just use MagicISO and burn the .avi file itself onto the DVD and pop it in my box and play it with XBMC. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it worked! However, I noticed a rather strange (yet serious) problem. When I was playing the movie this way, I couldn't rewind the film at all. When I would press rewind (either on my remote, or my controller), it would actually fast-forward
Now, I don't think I've ever seen THAT problem before
Now, I've also noticed another problem with playing this movie that I think can purely be the cause of this unethical way of streaming the video. When playing the movie, it has a horrible lag. I'm not sure if this is because of the cache, the quality of the movie (a BlueRay DVD ripped into a DVD-R), or something else. If you have any ideas of a way to fix it, that would be great!
Also, just to recall the already mentioned problems that I have also ran into:
When playing a movie, it takes a long time to store the cache. In older versions, it was always instant. Perhaps an option for this would be nice?
=======================================================================
And of course, I can't just mention problems without saying thanks. I love using XBMC and I've always used yours. I haven't found too many problems, and the ones that I have found, seem to be fairly minor. Not to mention, you have to love the updates.
I simply love the fact that you guys do this kind of stuff for free. I know how much time goes into one of these, not to mention keeping up with it with updates. I'll constantly be checking back to see what kinds of things we can see for the future of XBMC.
Thank you so much!
