Hi guys,
Need a bit of a hand here if someone can help please...
Put XBMC on a few boxes uses SID, but have the following problem.
The install version I originally used on SID installed XMBC to the ROOT of E:\, rather than E:\Apps - works fine though. Did the "Install as dashboard" setup from the usual place.
Funny thing is, just installed T3ch latest version of Atlantis, and it's still loading the old version of XBMC from E:\, rather than Atlantis at E:\Apps.
Looking at C:\, the files of interest I have are as follows:
xboxdash.xbe
xbmc.xbe
xbmc.cfg
and a couple of old/original/ renamed dash files - xbmc.cfg_OLD and xbmc.cfg_New. I didnt rename either of these files myself, so I guess the SID must have done it?
Looking inside xbmc.cfg, the Atlantis install on E:\apps is correctly targeted...E:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe... but it still insists on loading the old version on E:\ by default.
Interestingly, after I FTP'd Atlantis into e:\apps, I copied over my UserData. The default-boot (into e:\) has all this fine, but the new atlantis XBMC install - which is where I actually copied the UD into - only has 1 out of 60+ movies listed. Also, in the scripts menu in Atlantis - the menu items for "T3ch Downloader" and "XBMC Scripts" have no icon next to the name text, and dont seem to do anything at all?
All getting in rather a nasty mess - all seems to work on normal boot etc, but really confused as to a)how it's working at all, and
why it's loading the old XBMC, even though it's being told not to!
BTW - one idea might be that part of the "install as dash" file renaming etc isnt working, so it's falling over to the old one, hence loading the older XBMC...?
Any ideas and assistance much apreciated!
BTW - can anyone confirm if Atantis resolves the issues of playback on AVI's using some of the newer codecs?
I.e playback/ lag / pauses...
One solution i've seen is to re-encode all the effected movies - but as mine are stored an my NAS, this would mean downloading them all to my local box, re-encoding them, then pushing them back again. This'll take at least 15mins x 2 just to retrieve / push back the files, so I havent done it yet.
Does Atlantis resolve this issue?
