Well, I do have plans on revisiting the Music Manager stuff - which will be a big re-write of somethings. With the upcoming filemanager, I want to be able to give the user more control over the playback of music as well as allow MOD tracks and such.

If you don't have this in your evox.ini:

Section "Applications" { Line "Applications",2 SortStart AutoAddItem "f:\Applications\" SortEnd } |
And you have things manually added for your applications submenu, then add something like this:

| Why do you only public WIPs? When to you think, you will public a new release? LL |
WIPs are non-public because I don't want a ton of experimental copies being distributed around the net causing all sorts of support nightmares.
As for the next public release, things are proceeding nicely, but it boils down to how much time I have to put into the code that enables all the stuff planned for the next release.
On the configuration front, things are looking pretty good - I've got a lot of help with some talented people writing scripts. some great scripts/dialogs are being made, so once I finalize the "plug-and-play" some real progress should happen in a short time on that front. The same thing goes with the filemanager (scripts have more power than anything similar on the Xbox, even Nexgen's LUA) - for that, I need to wrap up the listbox control.
That's my primary aim at the moment. When will all the behind-the-scenes stuff be done? Maybe a week to enable the WIP Scripters to go to town on the new stuff they can provide.
I'd say two weeks, maybe three on the outside would be an optimistic estimate.

Anyway, a request.
In automenu, could you remove the ... after each menu item.
For example, it currently looks like this:
Games...
Apps...
Dashboards...
Which I don't find very athestically pleasing. I suggest:
Games
Apps
Dashboards
It's especially a problem when you choose to add the dashboard menu to an already existing menu.xml menu layout, it looks out of place.
Nitpicking for sure, but thought I'd toss it out there.

It's not a bug.
The music libraries are DESIGNED to only read from E: - M$ is the one that does this, not my code.
You might try patching the binary to search for the st.db database in F:, but it's not something I'm going to bother with. The next version should give you more control, but as a last resort, there should be a way of adding music directory parameters to your mxm.xml file. I don't recall the exact nodes to add, but you CAN do that.

but i think his reference to the bug is that he cant get the <Music><Directory> setting in his MXM.XML to work.
I had him replace his E:Tdata music database (ST.DB) with a blank one in case it messed up MXM/MSDash but it still didnt work and set the <Music><Directory> value to the folder with all the wma files.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the game help screens (the ones that appear when clicking the black button while selecting a game) to display the manual of the selected game. I've created several image files, rename them to MXM_GH01.jpg, MXM_GH02.jpg, etc. and put them in the game folder.
Ok, the problem is that MXM only display 3 of them and when trying to display the 4th one it displays a message "Invalid image file". I've tried several different images and it's not a problem with the images but with MXM. It can only display three help images :-?
It's this a known error? thanks.

My reason for asking is that I still have fooking DIALUP (broadband not available where I live), and downloading vids takes a while.

Media X Menu 0.9n.6
Tutorials located at: http://www.writersgallery.com/MXM/TUT
Short Version-
- Revamped the FTP Server. Again.
- More ActionScript stuff.
- "Big F:" on X2 BIOSes problem fixed
- Added more variations of Simplicity "internal" skin
See below for complete list.
Beta 0.9n.6 (Bug Fixes) - Added experimental automatic G: fix
If drive F: is not between 128GB and 132GB, MXM will not automatically mount G: - Failing that, there is now an MXM_Patcher option to force MXM not to init G:
- SETFUNC::FILESIZE should now return directory size now.
- New ActionScript commands:
BEGINSEARCH <WildCardPath>
- The local variables "search_name", "search_path", "search_arg", "search_size", "search_type", "search_active" (which equals "1" when the search values are OK) are updated during the search
SEARCHITEM <VarName> (Load VarName with current file/pathname)
SEARCHSIZE <VarName> (Load VarName with current file size)
SEARCHTYPE <VarName> (Load VarName with current type for entry - "file" or "dir")
SEARCHNEXT
ENDSEARCH
MEDIAPATCH <FilePath> (Experimental, patches media flag and media check code)
INPUT [NOWAIT] (Added optional "nowait" parameter, which prevents it from waiting forinput)
OPENREAD <HandleName> <FilePath>
OPENWRITE <HandleName> <FilePath>
READFILELN <HandleName> <VarName> (Reads line and loads variable)
WRITEFILELN <HandleName> <Text> (Writes line with text and appends CR/LF)
WRITEFILE <HandleName> <Text> (Writes line with text)
CLOSEFILE <HandleName>
FILESTAT <HandleName> <VarName> (If file access is OK, value will be "1" - for read, "0" means end - otherwise "")
WEBFILEFETCH <Filename> <URL> (A little goodie... but this is a very basic HTTP client, so it won't work with all sites)
SETFUNC new:
- FNBASENAME <FilePath>
- FNEXTENSION <FilePath>
- FNPATH <FilePath>
- FNMERGE <Path> <Filename> [<Extension>]
- FATXIFY <filename> [<replacementchar>] (Do not use with a full path! backslashes and colons will be removed!!)
- TEMPFILE <Path> <Prefix> (Creates a new temporary filename)
- REPLACE <Old> <New> <Source>
- ContextScriptExists
- Opens an XML file or internal XML link (::MXM, ::PREFS, ::MENUCACHE, ::MENU, ::Internal)
XMLSave <HandleName> [<FileName>]
- Saves XML back out to a given file
XMLSaveNode <HandleName> <FileName>
- Save current selected node to file (File must not exist)
XMLSetNodePtr <HandleName> <Node> [OnFail <Label>]
- Set the current node pointer
- To start from "root" use ! Example: !.FTPServer.User:1 (Accesses second user node in FTPServer node of a config file)
XMLCreateNode <HandleName> <Node> [OnFail <Label>]
XMLCreateElement <HandleName> <Element> [OnFail <Label>]
XMLSetElementPtr <HandleName> <Element> [OnFail <Label>]
- Must be relative to currently set node, or this will also cause the current node to change
XMLSetElementValue <HandleName> <Value>
XMLSetElementAttr <HandleValue> <Attribute> <Value>
XMLSetNodeAttr <HandleValue> <Attribute> <Value>
XMLSetValue <HandleValue> <Location> <Value> [<AttrPref>]
XMLGetValue <HandleValue> <VarName> <Location> [<DefaultValue>]
XMLGetNodeCount <HandleName> <VarName> [<Name>]
XMLGetElementCount <HandleName> <VarName> [<Name>]
XMLGetNodeAttrCount <HandleName> <VarName>
XMLGetElementAttrCount <HandleName> <VarName>
XMLCreate <HandleName> <MainNodeName>
LoadCurrent
CallContextScript - Fixed issue with submenu conditional
- ActionScripts now run in their own thread, meaning the video and audio continue while ActionScripts run. This will be further exploited in the future with scheduled and event-driven execution.
- Fixed File access error in ActionScript FILE functions.
- Added new Text Gadget source: ENV - this gives the skinner access to the global environment (Environment variables prefixed with the "_" character)
Define the "Key" attribute to select an environment variable to display (without the % on each side, with or without the underscore) - Rewrote the ActionScripting engine. This will be getting a slight re-arrangement when I incoroporate the scheduler, which is more or less written.
- Added $timer$ 'special' ActionScript variable, which gives a running count of milliseconds
- Added _GP_ANYBUTTON variable set by input for simple testing.
- Fixed non-working string functions and issue with XMLSetValue when setting attributes
- Fixed spurious file entries when connected to M$ Internet Explorer via FTP. This might fix other issues (I hope).
- Added DNS cacheing. This may solve some issues with newsfeeds, but if edited, the cache file can make DNS lookups more efficient!
In the file, you can set a hostname as one of three types of persistence: dynamic (always looks up IP), session (Looks up IP once per session) and static (you can 'permanently' assign an IP)
If the cached IP doesn't work, MXM will try and get another one, no matter what. - Changed the FTP Server again.... should be working again.
- Added jlm5151's Simplicity Remix skins as internal skins.
- Added more specials: $tm_time$, $tm_date$, $tm_hours$, $tm_minutes$, $tm_seconds$, $tm_year$, $tm_month$, $tm_day$ - all based on current time. Format for date: DD/MM/YYYY and time: HH:MM:SS. Individual units are 2 digits (or for year, 4 digit)
- Fixed issue that prevented "RandomSource" enabled image resources from working properly.
Beta 0.9n.7 (Bug Fixes) - Errors in "subscripts" now report original error and originating script name.
- Added "SIZE" command to FTP Server. Reports in the following format: "120 Drive C Reports: (330,416,128 FREE) (524,206,080 TOTAL)" for each drive, unless the user specifies the drive specifically in the SIZE command.
- MXM should not lock up any more when running WMV9-based WMV files. It will not play them, but rather than hosing things up, MXM will merely not display the offending video.
- Fixed issue with Context Menu items defined in MXM.xml
- Fixed problem with the use of special characters % and $ in ActionScripts.
- Added Message Logging. See the White Paper for more details. Debugger,Net and File output methods are implemented.
- Skinners can now display "CG" strings using offsets. Place the offset value in the "Section" attribute of a text element and the value retrieved
for the string will be that of the menu item offset by that value form the currently selected menu item (or nothing, if out of range). - Similar to the string capability, "entry" type images can also have an offset, by setting an <Offset> value in the resource node.
- SETFUNC additions:
- CVTTOBASE <Base> <Padding> <DecmalNum>
Converts number in from, say 15130 to 3B1A (Padding is zero padding, can be set to -1 or 0 to disable)
Input numbers can be bigger than 32 bit values.
- CVTFROMBASE <Base> <Padding> <BaseXNum>
Converts number in from, say 3B1A to 15130 (Padding is zero padding, can be set to -1 or 0 to disable)
Input numbers cannot be bigger than 32 bit values. (Note limitation here!!) - Comparisons now done with 64-bit values in ActionScript IF statements
- Memory Units should now be accessable from FTP and ActionScripts
- Re-wrote the input stuff in preperation for the new system. Seems to work so far.
- Added a parameter for the special "text" element menu - "Wrapped". Set to true, this allows you to cycle through each end of the menu. Do NOT use this on "regular" Menu elements yet.
- Added argument support to conditionals. New conditonal: ItemSelected:
<conditional arg1="1">ItemSelected</Conditional>
Works with "not" as well: <conditional arg1="3" not="true">ItemSelected</Conditional> - The new Input System has been integrated! Input is now configurable.
- Added HelpDesc and HelpTitle strings. Key is line number, section is device ID.
These will be used to display help screens based on translation tables. - New ActionScript stuff for input handler:
--functions:
-- IQGetMsgID [<ID>]
-- IQPeekMsgID
-- IQPeekStrength
-- IQPeekShiftStrength
-- IQPeekCtrlStrength
-- IQPeekAltStrength
-- IQGetMsgCount

- %ZipEntryName%
- %ZipEntryType% ("dir" or "file")
--Specials:
-- rand (Returns 32-bit random number) - Added GOSUB/RETURN functionality to ActionScripting.
Both GOSUB and RETURN may be used after IF - Added FOR/BREAK/NEXT functionality:
- FOR index = 1 TO 10 STEP 3

| keep up the good work. is there a thread that says in what release you plan to implement xyz feature etc. Or do you just go with the flow on that? |
Usually, "Go with the flow" - but I'm working on a few goodies here and there, even though the "Bug Fix" releases are mostly to dig back into existing code and enhance/fix big chunks.
The DNS handling is greatly improved, and to be honest, if you set it up correctly, you don't even need a DNS server set up (you can create permanent DNS entries - MXM will bypass the DNS server and use those.)
Next on my plate is improving the Network client code, and possibly the image cacheing with a more intelligent approach to managing the system and video memory used to display images.
The friend that created LinkQ wants to add a download manager, which will require HTTP support. I've told him to create a basic Winsock HTTP client (with my help) and together we'll create something usable on both the Xbox and the PC.
Oh.... and along the way, since I now have ActionScripting, things like BIOS flashing become easier to add in. File management is something I've been thinking about throwing in when I get ambitious. There's no immediate support for it in the existing skins, but I'll come up with a default screen, and make it a simple matter for skinners to add support.

That's strange, and others have reported this sort of issue, though I'm absolutely unable to recreate it, on two different Xboxes.
Perhaps this is some sort of network hardware issue? I just don't know.... MXM has no timer. It might also be related to your Server priotiry setting, which you might try setting to "highest"

Sometimes I can send about 2-3 Gigs with no problems others, it stops before that. I thought it had to do with the screensaver too, but I disabled it and the same.
The only solution is for now to turn the xbox off and then on again.
I use FlashFXP.

if you guys dont mind, when reporting a ftp problem. please give the following info instead of just saying ftp doesnt work right.
-DHCP or Static config.
-IP, dns, gateway, subnet of xbox
-IP, dns, gateway, subnet of PC ( you can xxx out the last digits to protect your privacy if needed)
-Skin used (just in case a resource intensive skin may be causing a memory drop, or creating lag)
-What your girlfriend is wearing at the moment of transfer (no really
..preferably nothing but we still need that info!- and a picture please)-BIOS mod LBA48 or not.
-Running as APP or Dash
-FTP Client, passive mode?
-MXM version (yes even though the version is probably always be the latest version released)
-description and any other info that might seem relevant (net to usb adapter being used?/only when screensaver kicks on/transfering small files to XX Drive/transfering large files.etc...)
If we provide a lot better info of what is happening... maybe other users can replicate to confirm it and it can be fixed.

The things you guys are saying about it dieing after a period of time is really weird.. cause, I used to have that problem with EVOX all the time... then I switched to XBMP... still the same problem... then I switched to MXM.. 9n.4 and still the same problem... then MXM 9n.5 came out and I couldn't use it cause I had a X2 4977 BIOS.. and a 250gig harddrive with all extra space going to f... then I heard that using EVOX M7 BIOS would work with MXM9n.5 .. so i flashed my BIOS.. and well MXM now worked.. (and so did avalaunch BTW) and also strangely.. my FTP troubles had cleared up... then I switched to MXM 9n.6 and still no trouble with the FTP... I'm thinking the thing that cleared it up was switching to the EVOX M7 BIOS... perhaps I'm wrong.. but this was just my experience...

and mxm runs flawlessly even with the 160 gig HD
There is only one problem that I noticed (yes another While Ftp-ing)
Since I was restoring all my Files from the previous xbox the system would be on for some time and I noticed that from time to time MXM would freeze if I left it at Idle fo a while.
I thought it was the Screensaver trying to kik in so I disabled it , and no luck
So I whent to the Y- Menu and went to the System Info Screen and left it there for a while. It never froze in the System info Screen so I figured it had to do with the video.
So I sat in front of the tv untill I saw what happened, And it turns out that the Preview video at about the 3rd or fourth time it loops the audio started getting out of sync and suddenly thats where it froze.
This is no big deal, Just noticed because of my circumstances (how often do people leave MXM idle :) lol)
Just thougt Id let you know because Some other people had mxm freezing also but dont know if it was related.
ok BJ thanks gotta go work on a skin now lol :lol:
MXM rocks

If you run the DateFix script (DateFix.xa) and set the date a DAY behind what the current date is... it stops the background video but not the preview video.
If you set it back to the original date... the video starts playing again.
I did this with MXM live (easy to tell) and EverySunday skins ... so i dont think its a skin problem... and the action script doesnt produce an error. Its just a really wierd side effect of the date change

OK.... I'll be revisiting the video a bit more (I think I've got the WMV9 hangup solved with the latest "WIP" binaries), so perhaps there's something to clean up in there.

Correct, it won't lock up. If I get time, I might add something to indicate the format is bad... perhaps an internal error log that the ActionScripts can access.

You're in the wrong group....this is talked about in other forums. It's not a problem with the dash. Mine works fine but originally froze at the load screen like yours does. All you have to do is extract the ISO to your hard disc with Qwix then FlashFXP it over to your hard disc and it will work.

I've seen quite a few posts these last few days about certain games not working or some people and not others. Well after investigation we found that it was down to a corrupt system clock. The game has an AUTOSAVE feature that doesn't work if the clock is all screwed so it either crashes or refuses to load. If you are having these issues go into your MS dash and set your clock manually and try again - you will find this most probably fixes your problem.

I'm using a static ip 192.168.1.200
GW:192.200.1.1, snmask:255.255.255.0
Basically my networks setup is the same as it was in evox.
I tried the priority and the time sync thing but no luck.
thanks in advance for any help.

Solution: Go into MS Dashboard and set the clock (or pick up a clock fix actionscript and set it up as a menu item)
Dunno why the clock checking routine isn't working. Must still be some secrets the Xbox isn't giving up yet.

eh.. the bios md5 is only used to display the correct bios informatin on your screen.. assuming that the skin supports it..
replacing the default.xbe should have been enough....
FTP is under microscopic scrutiny as BJ is working on fixing it up good...

I've heard that if you disable your timesync in the mxm.xml that it will cure your problem...
however.. I have mine turned on and my ftp works fine...

The timesync on/off thing is mostly for the long time it takes to complete the "final initialization" when starting mxm. If you have a invalid or unreachable IP set in this setting, or maybe none at all.. the the time to finish loading might take up to 10 seconds...this is with timeserver ON in the system menu.
I havent heard of it having any effect on FTP though.

I've just started working for a new client (my day job is as a software engineer for a large company that provides computer-related services), and I've had to spend a great deal of time away from my desk, on site at a big 3 automaker's development facility. It's cool, interesting work, but keeping me very busy, as well as shortening my day with a 2-3 hour commute (roundtrip)
As it is, I've been filling some of my spare time away from a desktop with internet access working on White Papers for MXM enhancements and I've got a digital voice recorder to take notes on the road.
Some very cool things are afoot, though much of it is nuts-and-bolts kind of stuff, making MXM work a bit faster and smoother.

Just found out some interesting things.
I love your dashboard... run it on my favorite xbox.
Been playing around with unleash X too.
There's a problem with Max Payne 2 freezing up at the 90% bar after clicking "Detective" in the game.
I've gone thru everything else on patching, to hard drive play etc... Only one Xbox in my house played the game. Then I hooked up my 3rd with Unleash X just to play with that menu. It ran it also. My friends that I modded their xboxs for them, and gave them the much improved Media X Menu instead of the Evolution X dashboards on the older mods I've done, experience the same freezing. So, I took each xbox that froze, took off MXM, and voila. It doesn't freeze anymore.
That's odd.
I've been backing up games for a long time, and trust me. I tried *everything* to get it to work on my friends xbox. I didn't know it wouldn't work on the one I had in my living room till I took the original Max Payne 2 game, and it wouldn't load either on *any* MXM menu xbox. Till I replaced it. :-(
Short fix for the time being.
Lemme know what you think is up. HOpe this helps you out bud

It will not overwrite the file C\:blah.pos if it exists, it causes the actionscript to actually error. Was wondering why, EvoX simply overwrites a file if you tell it to copy over somethin, and the actionscript errors?
2. I have found what I hope is a workaround with a lengthy script, but was wondering if there is a way for MXM to just copy stuff from disk to HD and overwrite the file?
3. I also noticed files copied from a disk to HD are Read-Only and you have to ChMod them to 777 in the sript why does it do this?
4. When using thhe following actionscript commands
| CODE |
| _CallScript PROMPTFORMAT C\: or _PrepDrive |
`JLM has tested and noticed that it runs perfect, but the selected drive is not always formatted. Do you know why it would do this ?

Yes, but the "Cherry Patch" is installed regardless.... I have corrected that here, and it will no longer patch the BIOS in the release version, if you are not using the PAL/NTSC switching.

1. Was the file Read-Only? On a side note, I may add ONERROR to the next release, which will allow you to handle the situation better and MXM aborting the script.
2. Perhaps... I'll make a note to investigate the option.
3. That's because the original files were read-only. Evo-X does the same thing, actually. There is an "attr" command that should work easier, BTW, as it works on nested levels.
4. Possibly because MXM is using a file from C: when it attempts this?

1. No the files are not read only, I have checked this, besides, Slayers Installer DIsk, using EvoX does this routinely, and it works everytime..
2. No further comments, just would be easier to overwrite things when copying from disk. Not that nig of a deal, but also makes for a much legthier script..
3. This is not a big deal either, as it is only one or two files here and there I must do this to.
4.I was using _PROMPTFORMAT C: as an example, _PROMPTFORMAT was used for other drives as well. JLM was running an ALPHA version of my Dash Installer Disk, for the Xbox Installer Disk System, and like I said, it only formatted the drives for him I think a couple times, other times it would not format the selected drives, but run perfect. This was all running from a disk as I said, so I do not see how it was using any files from the XBox itself.

I have no PAL - NTSC switching... Or, I'm not understanding you or you me. :-)
I have only used NTSC xboxs. Can't get a store rented/bought copy <NTSC> to work on any xbox that has the MXM dashboard on it. It freezes at exactly the same spot on each box. Unless I change the dashboard to EvoX or UnleashX.
Even when I was using a PAL copy that I was trying to use as my backup that I aquired.
The game just doesn't work with MXM.
So, are you saying that you have now corrected this issue and in a new release it will fix this?

I'm saying that the current version of MXM applies a (temporary) patch to the BIOS, regardless of what your TV setting is. The purpose of this patch is to modify the PAL/NTSC settings, but since you do not need it, it shouldn't NEED to apply the patch. It wasn't hurting anything before, but it's probably the cause of your problems with this game (I can't imagine anything else causing problems)
The next release will ONLY apply the patch if it needs to.

This is not with the WIUP, but with your release....
If loaded after a hacked BIOS (through PBL, TSOP, Chip) it seems fine.
But when loaded with a retail BIOS running (Directly from the fonts or audio) it sometimes behaves the same way as the previous version did! Wierd folders/files showing up. Failed transfers, lockups....
Wierd stuff!
Don't know if it helps at all, but thought I would pass it on!

| Question, when I load a multidisk onto a friends box who uses mxm as his dash as well, it takes over his dash settings when he reboots(no disk in), and puts him back into the network settings that were on my disk, changes his xbox name and everything but the problem is when he goes into his mxm.xml it still has his old settings.... any ideas? |
Hmmm... well, this is because it booted with the settings you've placed into the MXM.xml file on your DVD-R. Normally, you only do that for a "boot disk" that's needed to run an FTP Server.
The settings he has in his file may not be correct.
BTW: Thanks for the tip... I am also hoping to pay special attention to DVD-R compilations for the next release - and I appreciate the reminder about handling the multi-game discs and games DB. I'll have plenty to do over the break

| I'm having Ftp problems. One ofthe directory isn't accessible using Fxp, but all other directories work. The one that doesn't work is a game directory. The weird thing is that the game works perfectly fine, but I can't ftp into it. The directoy is accessible when I use Evox to ftp. Can someone tell me what's wrong. |
Is it possible you have a preview video in that directory? What exactly are you trying to do in the directory?

I've talked to X2Gamer, and the problem is that MXM's ftp server refuses to go into a directory. Says the directory doesn't exist, even though it shows up in the list.
Evox's FTP server works fine.
X2Gamer, can you provide more details, like attributes, and the ftp logs for both evox and mxm?

Here is what it says when I try to access it.

OK.... that's a simple enough problem, and I can probably fix it.... though I'll need to fiddle around with it.
The problem is the space in the directory name. MXM is only looking at "rainbow" then "6" - so it sees two arguments there, instead of one unquoted argument. The client really should quote the argument
but the spec is probably ambiguous about the point.I'll have to treat the situation specially.
Thank you.... it gives me a bit of work to do tonight, but at least it WILL be fixed for the next release!

| THanks for the help, but after renaming it to just Rainbow it now is accessible, but if it's named Rainbow6 or Rainbow 6 it doesn't work i gues it doesn't like number. Just to let you know . |
"Rainbow6" without a space should work fine, but I'll check into it.
