Special Note From T3CH:
QUOTE
* Added Nuka1195's XBMC-Addons Installer PLUGIN which can be used to install various Addons. Needs installation (use Programs) - says Nuka1195.
* I'm including the >>XBMC Win32 PC environment<<.exe that is meant for skinners & python developers, read more about the concept here. It was built using Microsoft DirectX Summer 2004 SDK.
* I've tweaked the win32 >>run_me_first.bat<< so it runs and then unmounts the virtual drives when you exit.
* If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://xbmc.org/wiki...oper_Bug_Report

2008-02-14 11677 backport: r11617 from linuxport. "updated: better implementation of "revealing" progress control (thx jmarshall). Set <reveal>yes</reveal> in the control definition."
2008-02-14 11673 changed: added path to MediaConnect
2008-02-14 11672 changed: outputs xbmc_pc.exe now in XBMC\Build instead of Debug and Release folder thus avoiding multiple entire tree
2008-02-14 11670 fixed: GetProtocolInfo was not transforming extension to lower case causing content type to be misconfigured changed: Xbox360 support! The 360 now can browse XBMC server and play music and video (whatever codec it can at least). No pictures yet. changed: some upnp:class changed for the 360 to be happy. Might break WMP on Vista. Needs testing. fixed: forced inclusion of port in urls for 360 to be happy fixed: upnp:class was wrong for music fixed: if no items were found during upnp browsing, returns 0 items instead of error changed: changed UPnP Server name to be compatible for 360. It's now "XBMC: MediaServer:" fixed: removed model name XBMC. The 360 doesn't like it ;-) added: if we failed to force UPnP Server to bind on port 80 (since xbox360 wants that for urls of files to stream), we try again with a random port. This might cause the 360 to not work though. Best is to disable xbmc http server or change its port to something different than 80 if that happens.
2008-02-14 11669 updated: libPlatinum with latest and greatest fixed: ssdp bug where it would incorrectly respond to the wrong source port for the second SSDP Search. The xbox 360 using different ports for each message it sends, it was failing to discover Platinum. addded: now events lastChange for UPnPRenderer correctly for new subscribers added: now moderate state variables that needs to be moderated (LastChange is 5 times per second only) refactored: control point and device host, they now have their own TaskManager so when it's easier to stop their own tasks when they Stop refactored: chunk decoder for HTTP 1.1 improved: HttpClientSocketTask now uses keep-alive so if the server is 1.1 or 1.0 with Connection: Keep-alive, it reuses the socket, useful for eventing added: Split up MediaConnect support and services into separate class, now CUPnPServer derives from PLT_MediaConnect. removed: support for embedded devices. It was not working anyway. NeroHome has been fixed and still works. refactored: move httpserver in start/stop so that it actually stops and cleans up when the device is stopped fixed: added total hack for 360 to work. The Search request is using ContainerID instead of ObjectID in the request! fixed: now starts a thread only when there's a need to event state variable changes to subscribers instead of in the ctor. Useful since the class is also used by ctrl points and they don't need to notify. fixed: check that the body stream of a request is rewindable before trying to send a request on a keep-alive socket. If it failed, we're screwed, so instead, we close the socket and reopen one. fixed: http server content type based on file extension was case sensitive fixed: http server now tries to bind hard (reuse address to no) refactord: ring buffer stream added: new downloader class fixed: don't use a query string for the service URLS (scpd, control and event) since some devices just don't like it! fixed: potential deadlock when stopping upnp while devices are running changed: moved SinkProtocolInfo specifics to xbmc into CUPnPRenderer instead of PLT_MediaRenderer (Platinum) fixed: PLT_FILTER_FIELD_AUTHOR and PLT_FILTER_FIELD_ALBUM were incorrect causing didl to be wrong hacked: the xbox360 doesn't like queries in url, it simply removes them. Since we use that to pass back to xbmc the path to the local file, it is a pb. Instead we percentencode the ? causing xbox360 to think it's the path. Then if we don't find a query, we look for "path=" in the url path. changed: made file server port public in PLT_FileMediaServer so that we can update/query it without recreating a new class (no need for setter/getter) changed: PLT_MediaBrowser Browse function now takes a flag for BrowseMetadata or BrowseDirectChildren instead of the actual string changed: try to always have a artist in didl even empty changed: updated Neptune library
2008-02-11 11623 changed: full cast defaults to "false" (one tvshow for example returned over 250+ actors, not exactly bandwidth friendly)
2008-02-11 11622 added: IMDb TV scraper for use with "tvshows" content (non wide-icon, this grabs portrait poster(s) from imdb, movieposterdb & impawards)
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://xbmc.org/wiki...=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://xbmc.org/wiki...=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

I wonder why the 360 doesn't like the name XBMC...
Jealous, I guess.
Post by: Bomb Bloke on February 25, 2008, 01:49:00 AM
It seems to be referring to XBMC's ability to talk to the 360 via uPnP.
Looks like the PC port can run in full screen mode now, too.
Actually it looks like there's a lot of cool stuff been done this last week or so...

Keep in mind the 360 doesn't have anything like XBMC's level of codec support. As I understand it Xvid should at least work, though.

Installed latest version of XBMC last night, everything seems to be ok except I can't get info for movies from IMDB anymore?
Getting info screen pops up for 1 second and then I get xbox screen where I'm asked to enter movie name and it gets into dead cycle - I press "Done", it will try for split second and same dialog to enter movie name will pop up.
I think there was problem like this before in previous build a year or so ago, but I don't remember how to fix it.
Please help.

I tried the UPnP with the 360 and when i choose a artist it shows me all the albums in the share no only the ones from that specific artist. Is it a bug or bad settings on my side?

Getting info screen pops up for 1 second and then I get xbox screen where I'm asked to enter movie name and it gets into dead cycle - I press "Done", it will try for split second and same dialog to enter movie name will pop up.
I think there was problem like this before in previous build a year or so ago, but I don't remember how to fix it.
Please help.
I was experiencing this from all builds after 01-06-08. I finally resolved this this issue by re-establishing the
"Set Content" on my video folder and enable the "Use Folder Names for Lookup".

Almost...
I can see the files in the 360.
Alas,clicking on any file yielded:
"A media update is required to play this content.
To get the update,sign in to Xbox live and play
the content again
Status code: 51-C00DF236."
********
Cycled both off and on,in and out of Xbox Live,same result.
The files from the Xbox became the default "Video" after
setup btw,until the source is changed again.
The XBMC files are all "avi".
**************
Will try some different files.
The entire "Library" mode is new to me,
I do not get it yet,
have many files that do not show up there.
I simply access through Filemanager,
but obviously the 360 can't see those.
So I am stopped,pending more data.
**************************
Going back and forth between the two
reinforced how much XBMC has to offer.
The designed-in limitations of the
360 are achingly apparent,
it is a stark contrast.
I thank you folks again for the incredible
piece of work that XBMC has become.
I am about to build another one.
Even started messing with skins...
Gawd,I love that box.

Anyone else experiencing this, or am I the only one?

That's the container type. What matters is the codec.
Odds are your files use a codec that the 360 doesn't support. It assumes you need an update to get it, but even with Live it can't find what it's after.
By memory, pressing the white button while playing a video through XBMC'll give some info on the codecs used. Might be the black button.

Oh wow, thanks, I had no idea about the 'set content' option being responsible for the disappearance of the 'movie info' option in the file view.
Though I will mention that I had to go into the settings portion of the 'set content' dialog box and change the imdb URL - it was using 'something'.imdb.com and I guess the 'something' wasn't resolving properly for me (odd), but by changing the URL to just 'imdb.com', I was finally able to successfully lookup movie info. Thanks!

The mplayer in the newer builds have been giving me trouble ...
I've actually just signed up here to mention that I'm having issues with 'no sound' on a specific group of mpegs - created by a sony camcorder - when using the current (up to XBMC 2008-02-24 SVN rev11787) builds of XBMC. Interestingly, the last stable build (2.0.1) plays the sound on these files without issue.
Any suggestions on what I may need to do/try to get sound with these files while using the current svn builds? Everything else works as expected... it's fantastic! (I can provide example mpgs if necessary)

Apparently it thinks I have no videos... I did set up my UPnP media folders in XBMC settings

It shares your music and video libraries.
Nothing in the library -> nothing to share.
i guess this was too cryptic to decode???

I am trying to use my XBOX 1 with XBMC to feed the XBOX 360 for video and music.
I have seen reports that this is possible but I can't figure out how to do it.
The version on the XBOX1 is SVN rev11787 build of February 24th 2008.
The 360 has the most recent updates from microsoft.
Am I nuts?
Please help.
Thanks!

LOL. competes2win holds a very good point regarding videos, but it is a great function for music - sometimes the right song can make all the difference.

You need to enable the UPnP Server in Settings>Network>UPnP Settings and then add the video and music folders you want to the appropriate sections. Then when you're on the 360 just change the music/video source and it should autodetect XBMC.
I've not tried it for videos really, except for a 2 minute test - I much prefer the display in XBMC and since mine are next to each other. The music on the other hand works great, although navigating it can be a hassle, as it doesnt organise properly (I choose an artist, and still have access to all songs) but otherwise its great, and I stand by my comment that the right music can really help your gameplay.

If that still doesnt work then I don't know, you might need someone better than me. Although think I saw mention somewhere that things need to be scanned to library for sharing to work. I'm not sure how it works, I just know it does for me, and I'm happy with that.
Good luck mate.

You have the uPnP server enabled.
You have content in your library, and it's set to be shared over uPnP.
The media is in a format the 360 can understand.
The 360 can't see the media at all.
Is this all correct?
Post by: galeen on March 18, 2008, 05:48:00 PM
It works. I had to add it to the library for it to work. When I tried to play a divx it asked to download an update and it played after that.
Let me say again....
F**king AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks all.

Music seems to be tougher. I can only seem to play MP3 and not M4A. These are songs ripped directly into ITUNES from a cd.
All other music seems good. I have downloaded the AAC update for 360(this same update was required for DIVX).
Any thoughts?
