Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

A note about Xbins:

QUOTE

First off, this is not an xbins support forum. The server admin is having problems after upgrading some software, thus the downtime. It will be up when its up.

Xbmc is being uploading to the main xbins server now. So please stop with the threads/posts/pm'ing mods/pm'ing xbins ops/etc.

Well I've upgraded to this CVS and now the audio on my OGM files ain't workin.. time to roll back!

Post by: aHorseofCourse on August 17, 2005, 03:10:00 PM

Yep, same problem here: no audio on OGM files. Figure they'll fix it soon. They always do:-)
Oh, and iTunes streaming (over DAAP) doesn't work at all for me anymore. It'll navigate playlists just fine, but as soon as I try to play anything it simply locks up.

This skipping bug was annoying. I filed a bug about this and it was closed with comment "by design". Well, good to see they changed the design.
Will definetly check this out later.

The lovely fade-in and fade-out between the background pictures when changing between the menu items on the home screen has still not been fixed.

This feature first apperead seen in about 3 CVS builds ago. Since then its been missing/broken!!

Really hope they put that back in as it makes xbmc sleek and makes using xbmc more enjoyable!!!

While DVD player isn't active by default the developers made it a little easier again to enable it. You don't need to recompile anymore.

Maybe this indicates that we are getting closer to a public beta release. I managed to play a DVD with menus from a network share, DVD images should work as well. Good to see that menu support is coming along so well, only a matter of weeks now before the general public gets to use it if you ask me.

EDIT: For playing from network shares or images you still need to recompile.

The new build by T3CH Aug 16th build sucks royal. All my movie icons were screwed up. They were all .tbn extensions. & when playing music, that sucks! Theres a black bar that stays ontop & tells info about what codec is being used ect...& another bar below stays on the bottom at all tims showing what albums being played. "WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK". The whole screen should be dedicated to the visuals. Some of theese guys who make this app are "MOURONS". Somebody with Intelligence please "TAKE OVER". Go home T3CH......

Great that you're too STUPID to read the xbmc manual to findout how to disable those bars...

Some 3rd party remote's don't use the standard RCA DVD codes, so if you want it to work with a universal remote, be careful.

I had the same problem. I did a search and found out that the <regexp> was missing from my xboxmediacenter.xml.

I just had to add this:

<videostacking>
<regexp>[ _\.-]+part[ \.]+([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
<regexp>[ _\.-]+cd[ \.]+([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
<regexp>[ _\.0-9-]([abcd])\....$</regexp>
<regexp>[^ \.]([0-9])\....$</regexp>
</videostacking>

save and reboot.

QUOTE(hodeez @ Aug 20 2005, 12:19 AM)

The Official Xbox remote uses an RCA Infrared code between the remote and the the llittle IR reciever you plug into the Xbox, so you could use another RCA DVD remote or a universal remote programmed with the same code to control XBMC.

Some of the 3rd party ones use their own code between the remote and the reciever, and sometimes a non standard one that isn't a commonly available code on a universeal remote either. If the remote breaks you are basically SOL.

So what he was saying was that you take your chances with those non-official remotes. IMO, pony up the extra few bucks for the real thing or look for a used official one -- I found one used where the remote was broken but the IR reciever was working fine and was able to convince the pawn shop owner to sell it to me for pennies. :-)

I have noticed that this build has a lot of 'flicker', especially in the settings screens when set at 1080i.

I did not notice this with previous builds. Setting it back to 720p fixes the problem for me, and yes, I do have a TV capable of 1080i..
