You should consider setting the correct date/time on your XBOX.. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Do that in MS Dash.

hi ,
Haven't found yet but it may have to do with the ntsc or pal settings
i tried to change the settings from ntsc to pal but got a black screen and the following log error
05-04-2004 12:30:00 exception in CApplication::FrameMove()
05-04-2004 12:30:00 exception in CApplication::Render()
05-04-2004 12:30:00 exception in CApplication::Render()
05-04-2004 12:30:00 exception in CApplication::Render()
05-04-2004 12:30:00 exception in CApplication::Render() .........

does anybody know whats hapening , i tried to change with the enigma video selector  and also the through the Xenium Os but it doesn't change anything for xbmc , always stuck on the ntsc settings ( or xbmp which stays stuck on the loading screen)
i know xbmc works caus it loads and even plays music fine but no video ...
thanks
ps my tv normaly plays ntsc fine

Does your screen flick the V-hold up and down, primarily black screen with a tiny bit of visibility?  If thats the case, I would almost guarantee it is an ntsc/pal issue.  This doesn't sound like a skin problem.  Check the PAL60 option in Settings/General and see what happens, or play with the resolution if it lets you.  (Sorry if I'm suggesting things you've tried)

So it was an EEPROM region thing?  Then why could you clearly see xbmc?  I screwed up with Avalaunch once and I had a heck of a time switching blind.  Neither config magic or the newer eepromer worked for me.. Had to use eepromer 0.45

yes my guess it was a region thing but only for xbmc or xbmp , everything else was working except those two programms.
