360Dashit Content Indexer
-------------------------

2010/01/04
axc97c
version 0.01

-------------------------

Extract the zip to the 360dashit folder on your usb hard drive and run 360dashitIndexer.exe

This will scan the Content and Games sub directories and add the items found here to the
ini files for the dashboard.

It will look up genres and titles from the microsoft website and set all the categories up for
you.

Artwork files are not yet sorted out. It would be nice to be able to automatically retrieve
artwork for the games.
At the moment the artwork is set to look in game:\images\icon\TITLEID.png for the small icon,
game:\images\banner\TITLEID.png for the banners and game:\images\title\TITLEID.png for the
rectangular image with each game.

Artwork for the genres also needs to be added. Check the genres bit of kiosk.ini for the names
of these.

If anyone can provide info or artwork let me know.

Odd Info
--------

Multiple disk games are detected and listed as such.
Halo 3 odst disk 3 has same title id as halo 3 so extra code has been added to label it differently
Forza 3 has been set to not list the disk as disk 2 cannot at the moment be installed to hd.

Todo
----

Auto extract icons from live titles
XBox 1 games
Better icons for all artwork used
Extract nxeart where available and use that artwork
Anything else people come up with

-------------------------------------

Please let me know any feature suggtestions, problems etc. This has only been tested on my hd so i would back up the ini files before running this.

Just indexed around 260 XBL Arcade games okay. Only issue I had was that the Content folder needed to be in the 360dashit folder. Would rather it worked with the content and games folders in the root, but other than that small niggle great job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Would be nice to have content and games in the root but for the dash to launch the content it has to be in a sub directory of the dashs own folder. Maybe the dash could live in the root of the usb drive, but im sure ive read of problems of having a default.xex file in the root of a usb drive.

it does, the xbox wont boot if a default.xex is on a usb port, you will get E79 or something.

But i am most positive that you can have the 360dashit content on the root and call the launcher dashit.xex.
the only thing is the content package launcher I made would have to be changed, thats easy with FreeXex-QuickBoot V0.2.

In other words, you can do this.

this is pretty impressive, taking a look.

thank you.

i can comfirm that your idea is working!

Small issues with the indexer: gta 4 and gta Episodes from Liberty City, both is named gta 4
brutal legend is named bròtal legend (ofc it has something to do with the "U" with two dots over it)
Modern warfare 2 is named: Modern Warfare® 2 (i gues it is because the registered trademark symbol)

Hello

If you look in the cache/xextool folder, can you post the files for the 2 with the same name and ill add an exception for it.

Ive noticed several off html codes in the names too, so will get these removed too with the new version.

ok Im a big newb but I ran across this program last night,so does this program add things automatically to the menu. For example I have xbla games in the games folder but when I run this app I have not scene them get added on the menu. Am I not using this program properly am I misunderstanding what it does? does dlc go in the games folder..?

I keep getting an error with convert.exe saying its side by side configuration is incorrect. How do I fix this??

Title: Kiosk Dash Content Indexer 0.01
Post by: axc97c on January 06, 2010, 04:59:00 AM

For convert.exe you need the visual c++ 2008 runtime.

Regarding missing stuff, the games that are missing covers and descriptions are for some reason no longer on the marketplace website, games like marvel ultimate alliance 2 and tony hawy project 8.

If a game has a missing icon, then its an old game with no nxart file, and i dont have an icon for it.

melkia: The program auto add xbla content and xbox 360 games to the menu. Doesnt add dlc at the moment although i dont see any reason why it couldnt. You need to extract the zip into your 360dashit folder, games need to go into the games folder in the dash folder, and the xbla stuff in the content/0000... folder. The app needs to be run from this location.

Regarding running 360dashit from the root of the usb drive, this has been tested and work ok, but you need to change the launcher package and rename the xex to something other than default.xex or you get a E71

Source code?

FYI -> Backgrounds == http://tiles.xbox.co.../background.jpg

### = GAME ID (32bit hex)
en-CA = change to country (i.e en-GB)

also...

http://catalog-cdn.x...a...on&Values=2

change MediaId to the media id ( i.e

[21] => Names=MediaIds
[22] => Values=66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584108b7 )

it will give you actually xml /text.. of game description / rating / urls to cover / background / PLUS PLUS screenshots

enjoy. if there's anything else you need to scrape.. let me know. i pretty much was making something similar to this tool.. (as a marketplace replacement for homebrew) so holla at me

Title: Kiosk Dash Content Indexer 0.01
Post by: khuong on January 06, 2010, 05:45:00 PM

Awesome work on the app axc97c. You're the man!

Just a side note for noobs like me: For the visual c++ 2008 runtime, download the x86 and NOT the x64 even if running 64-bit windows. I did the x64 version first and still got the error, then the x86 which worked fine.

Been having a better look at the khuong.

http://tiles.xbox.co.../background.jpg

Works fantastic, also can end in smallboxart.jpg and largeboxart.jpg. Wonder is there are more endings? Cant find anything on google.

The 2nd url, seem to be good for banners for xbla games and a large portion of 360 games, but havent been able to get screenshots from there.

Ive now also got what i think is a complete set of icons for the games, so when i get the next version out, please let me know if you find any missing.

Post by: axc97c on January 13, 2010, 03:57:00 AM

Well, ive decided i cannot get the results i want to get basing my work off the kiosk dash, so ive decided to take a different direction and create my own dash.

Ive been messing with the code and after a day i have a way of getting everytihng running as i wanted.

The plan is to have a dsh with several sections, XBox 360 games, XBOx 1 games, XBLA Games, Applcation/Emulators/Homebrew (not decided which yet) and a File browser.
I want to be able to filter by genre in 360 and xbla sections, and have meta data and screenshots and artwork for each title where possible. I will use a content indexer (based on this one) that creates an xml file for the content of each menu on the dash so people can edit as they please. Shouldnt take too long to be done.

Thing is, im horrid at artwork for the dash, so if anyone has any suggestions or is will to create a few images for it please let me know.

As for the content indexer, im releasing the source code so anyone who wishes can continue working with it.

Very glad you released the Source code.

Thanks for the work and effort that you have put into this. I'm not sure how many people are using this at the moment, but for me it has saved me many many hours of creating ini's for my stuff over and over again.

Good luck on the new dashboard. Keep this thread alive so I can try and help you along your way! As it is I have been refreshing 10+ times a day in the past week

5+ hours of my life being saved is worth a lot of respect

Post by: tsn92488 on January 15, 2010, 11:47:00 PM

keep up the good work. the kiosk is by far the best alternative dash and the indexer saves alot of time, but i too would like to see different sections for xbla games, xbox1 games, etc. Creating your own dash would be great i would love to see it. something that looks like the kiosk would be great. the reason why i like the kiosk so much is because its the it looks professional visually, it has the best gui, and the photo and info is customizable. though, starting from scratch takes alot of work. I would help but i only just started taking c++ in college this semester, so i would be of no use. sorry. i would, however,like you to know that i appreciate all the work you are doing and hope that you continue to work on the your own dash. also, while i cant speak for other people, im sure there are others out there that feel the same way. if you still need help with the art work lemme know and i will see what i can do to help

This is amazing work axc97c. I'm also stoked to hear you talk about an entirely new dash with separate categories as that is _exactly_ what i've been looking/waiting for.

Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what you come up with for a dash!

You are the fucking man.

Keep up the good work.

This really is a huge break through. Don't give up on the project. You are doing an excellent job.

A friend of mine is going to look at the code to see if he can help improve the dash any or find a better way to insert previews/pics.

Will post any findings.
