[13:51] <jmel^> you just need to edit your user config txt
[13:51] <jmel^> in the kai dir on your pc
[13:52] <biobob> what do you edit ?
[13:53] <CheapAs> kaiAccept=ALL
[13:53] <jmel^> change "ANY" to "ALL"


Just heard on irc... thought i would share the info...
its pretty self explanitory... I am unable to test at the moment... but basically

1) open config.txt where kai xlink is installed
2) edit the line 'kaiAccept=ANY' to 'kaiAccept=ALL'
3) Enjoy :)

*EDIT*

seems that editing the txt file isnt even neccicary anymore

You are able now to start only the Kai engine without starting the UI.


good news :)

This is totally unsupported by XBMC and XLINK teams... do not ask them for help

I am using XBMC 5-22-04 version and progect mayhem skin but I dont see an x in lower right screen to select or any buttons to goto xlink. All I have is 3 buttons in lower right one reboots, one powers off and one launches original dash. I have my xbmc xml set with Kai login/password and changed kaiUserConfig.txt to kaiAccept=ALL was set to kaiAccept=LOCAL. I log into kai evo7 on pc and then turn on xbox and xbmc and cant find anyway to launch an xlink game from it.  <

The file is in your Xlink directory on your computer.  

@korkie
I just built XBMC myself (5/29 from CVS), and it works perfectly (with either the MediaCenter or Project Mayhem skins).  Don't know what you're doing, but it works fine here (I started a RalliSport 2 game, RS3 game, and PGR2 game).  <

Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: sthump on May 30, 2004, 09:00:00 AM
I've got XBMC 5-29, I'm seeing a button next to the 3 normal buttons (shutdown, MS dashdown, and Modded dashboard)  Is that what launches the Xlink Kai Xbox interface.

When I get there, I see 3 menus, Games, Friends, Arena.  But none of them seems to do anything.  And when I select a game to launch it tells me to put it into the DVD.  How do I get it to launch from the HHD.

Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: korkie on May 30, 2004, 10:20:00 AM
just start the game and select link game in multiplayer!

do i need to write Xlink tag and pw in xbmc? or do i need to leave it blank?
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: mc_365 on May 30, 2004, 10:54:00 AM
Can we get a step by step cause I'm getting nothing.

I go to kai and hit games, they're all there but they all say (0).

I think my xbox is not linked with my pc kai engine somehow.
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: Mandrake on May 30, 2004, 11:01:00 AM
I can't see any games either, but when I go to performance in Kai it says that my xbox is correctly configured so there must be some kind of connection...
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: nimbles on May 30, 2004, 11:39:00 AM
a ) Obvious but is Kai running on your pc? if not turn it on
b ) username and password entered in the xboxmediacenter.xml (and actually valid- you've registered on kai website?)
c ) if using static ip using ICS, is the nameserver and default gateway = the ipaddress of the second nic on your pc? thats what it should be. if connecting through router and dhcp is the nameserver and default gateway = ip address of the router?
d ) has pc kai "discovered" your xbox- if not there is a problem there

are those having problems with kai in xbmc not able to connect to kai from their pc's? in which case probably a problem on the pc side, try the xlink faq

Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: mc_365 on May 30, 2004, 12:25:00 PM
Ok got it to work.

It never ever says there are any games even when I got it to work it says (0)

is the above because of the half support/support not official yet?

Can I Play from the HDD? I mean do I have to launch from the kai window or is kai always active once logged-in on PC and XBMC running; therefore enabling me to go to programs and launch from hdd?
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: RzarectaH on May 30, 2004, 04:55:00 PM
I think that the latest XBMC release doesnt have full Kia support yet; just some of the visible features.  I'm sure in one of the next few releases, we'll see full integration and Xlink support.  But then again, some people here seem to have no problems.  I guess time will tell.
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: f.u. on May 30, 2004, 11:42:00 PM
To check if it really works, goto the halo arena or RS3 arena.  There are almost always people in there.

To start games off the HD, first select the arena, hit the black back button on the joypad, goto programs, and load the game matching the arena you chose.

be sure you have configured your kai tag and password into the xbmc config file.  Also on the PC side, you open Kai but dont log on.

Hope thats helps someone here.

Best to have a bios with IGR, that way when you want to go back to Kai, you reset using IGR and load back xbmc and change your arena.  No more running to the PC.

I got this to work with the CVS 5-17 build of xbmc. also I didn't have my xtag in my xbmc xml but i had already logged into Kai through the pc side. it works awesome. also one other thing for those wondering, I think xbmc auto detects what games you have on your hdd that support system link. for instance, I have UT Championship and it shows up on the XBMC menu for Kai. my friend has the exact same game but his xbox isn't hooked up to a cat5 cable so UT C doesnt show up in his xbmc. for those who didn't know, some games only show syslink support if the cat5 is plugged into the back.
Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: mc_365 on May 31, 2004, 05:35:00 AM
Pdottz

many games that I have never own or played show up.

And they all say (0)

Try launching a game from the HDD I had no luck finding a game once launched.

I treid to login on Kai by XBMC. But XBMC fucks up.
Normaly it run perfect, but after filling in the password.
It says its got a error and asked me to restart.

This is how the *.xml looks.

<xlink>
   <username></username>
   <password></password>
 </xlink>

I supose that I have to fill it in like this:

<xlink>
   <username></gebruiker>
   <password></iedereen>
 </xlink>

But iff I do that, XBMC says "Error reading value error"
How do I have to fill that in?

Ok, ive got all this workin since it was 1st posted, the only problem i want to report is that sometimes when using kai with xbmc it actually makes kai shutdown, im only reporting this not asking for a way to fix it as i know the integration isnt complete yet and is not likely to work perfectly.

Be sure that you've edited that txt file in the directory where kai VII was installed...

Since the update earlier on this day from Kai. This is not nesecary anymore.
You are able now to start only the Kai engine without starting the UI.

It works perfect with XBMC. And by us there where no problems from stopping the KAI engine caused by XBMC.

Title: Xbmc + Xlink Kai Vii Working
Post by: Loto_Bak on June 07, 2004, 02:32:00 PM
Ok its very simple...

Go the the arena you'd like to be in (for instance the halo arena... )
ok good... now press back... go to my programs
then find your game
now run it... and look for a  game...
if you want to host just select create game and it will create the game..

very simple...

Still unable to get V7 working even though 6 was fine-

I use ICS on win XP so my XBox has  dynamic IP (DHCP) is this the problem does XBox need static IP

I get V7 working fine from PC - although that means playing on a portable and without my groovet decoder etc.

Any ideas appreciated

You DO mean XML and not HTML...

HTML has a limited amount of valid tags whereas XML has as many as are recognised by the program using the XML file - ever seen < mediacenter> < /mediacenter> on a webpage??

Are you sure games have been created in the arena you navigated to?  I don't know if there is a way to tell.  The icon on the left indicates only that they are human and not subarenas I think.  As does the number.

first of all, thanks for trying to help me out.

from what i see, the problem is really reasy, but i can`t figure put.

when i get inside an Arena....i see NTSC US, PAL UK, etc...i enter to NTSC
and i see 2 people, who had 1 icon (circle)
then i see other options...i`m sure this might be the problem, but i try both and still, on the game it said, looking for game, no game started.

could someone do a step by step?

I think there is a bug in it, when you try to join a game it cant find them.

I thought it wasn't working as well,  but just kept retrying and then I got a game.

So I'm thinking either it dosent relay back that all games are full/private or it is having difficulty locating the game before timeout.

Just theory.
