XBMC DBR (Download, Build, Rar)

PC Requirements

A Windows Xp (preferred), 2000, or NT4 Machine
Notice: All programs below can be installed to any drive/partition letter

Visual Studio .NET 7.1 (2003) Professional
Installed anywhere on PC

MS Xbox SDK 5849+ Full Install (NOT minimal)
Installed anywhere on PC

Winrar 3.40
Installed anywhere on PC

Where to get it:
The official XBMCDBR website can be found HERE
A Codecs package, with all known codecs supported by XBMC, can be downloaded from the website also HERE

What is it:
This is a Windows batch file package that will download the latest XBMC CVS source code and compile it. You can include items customized for your personal build such as extra skins, scripts (it comes with alot of useful scripts already, that are kept up to date), customized .xml files,codecs  and more... When it’s done doing it’s thing, it tidies up the directory it was run in, you are then left with a nice, dated, RAR file of the build. It can even FTP the finished build to your XBOX when it is done compiling the new build. It is suggested you do this once a week if you like or when major updates to the XBMC CVS source code are done.

Guess that menas you tested it?

I have to admit, the first time I ran it, I said the same thing  

[stevey5036]

wow man freaking awesome! so whenever theres a new cvs it will dl the new files?

[skiguy411]

Sorry for the n00b question, but how exactly do you know when a new cvs is released?  

[Yuyu]

The CVS is updated by developers all the time, in other words, its perpetually a new CVS daily usually..  I usually make a new build once a week and put it on my Xbox (on Sunday's, no school, no work , unless there is a major update done to the CVS by someone, then I update  then...

So, yes when you run this, you are getting the most up to date CVS files...

[spudnik187]

This doesn't work for me.  The batch runs, but says it can't find cvs.exe.  What's up with that?

Bulid.rar and XBMC DBR.bat have to been in the same directory as each other. It sounds like you may have messed with your build.rar file, moved it, or not extracted it from the XBMC_DBR.rar file. That is the only reason it should give you that error, at all.

I wouldn't mind some feedback from anyone that uses this either . Would like to hear people's experience with it...

I keep getting a error when it's getting ready to patch the XBE. (File not found?)

Then Xbepatch.exe closes whith a error.

Ayone else having this problem?

The build finishes succesfully with no default.xbe

It sounds as though VS.Net is not compiling the CVS code.  Make sure you have the correct version of VS.Net and the most up to date version of XDK. If you do your own compiles normally, when you do a compile, you do it as an Xbox Release also, correct? That should solve your problems...

edit: nvm

Does this mean that each week you rewrite your xboxmediacenter.xml file and your default.xbe or do you usually leave them alone? I hate editing that xml file because I make mistakes and have to go down two floors to test. Lot of exsercise screwing with that thing.

[Yuyu]

When you transfer the files to your Xbox, you can keep your xboxmediacenter.xml if you want to, most of the time, unless they make a major update to the code and move settings to the GUI.

Anyways, I am updating the Batch File Package Right Now, should be uploaded in about 15-20 minutes. I had one of the files in the Build.rar kinda screwy, there is nothing wrong with your build, if you used this tonight already, but it should now not give an error to some, that I experienced a few minutes ago...

[spudnik187]

Oh, you need the XDK installed?  I don't have that and I don't know where to get it.  Guess I can't use this.

[Kick In Da Door]

Is it possible to add direct link to the vs.net & the xdk download.


nevermind, i didnt know it was something u have to pay for i thought it was free download from MS :|

and also i was getting same error  the program would finish without the xbe files
