Xlink Kai As 4th Tab?
« on: January 14, 2005, 11:15:00 AM »

Is it possible to get Xlink Kai as a 4th tab? I understand you would need a whole new interface. But just asking if anyone is working on this.

You could link it to a Xlink Kia standalone program, i got an old one but i dnot know if you can still download it or if it still works. but implamenting Xlink Xia into UIX yould be alot of work.

found a way to do this, you are really only launching another instance of xbmc that goes directly to the xlink page, so make a copy of the xbmc folder and name it xlink.  Then go into the xboxmediacenter.xml file and change the startup page to page id 2700 which is the page for xlink kai....

Works on my end, I am in the channel sometimes if you have questions.

peace out.

Can you be more specific, I cant find the "start up" in the xbmc.xml file. Maybe this would be a good tutorial.

Look for a line in your xml file that has  <startwindow> then make it  <startwindow>2700</startwindow> and then save.  But remember this will make xbmc go direct to kai everytime so you will want to have two different installs....

Pretty redundant... why eat up more HD space with 2 XBMC's when 1 will work fine? Just make an XBMC tab, if you have the kai engine running (which you would need to be doing to get kai to work from a dashboard anyway) it starts as soon as XBMC is loaded anyway~

eh....

I see it both ways I like the way it works direct into kai, but I could see how you would be worried about hard drive space....  either way if you want it it works if you don't that is fine to...

finally got it working right, my second tab is now Kai Online , and when you select it, it boots straight into the kai online section of xbmc, and even better when you exit the kai section it returns straight into the uix dash. seeing as kai isnt probably going to be added to uix, i`ve added it myself, now all i need to do is get a skin that look like uix or xbox live and i`ll be happy. maybe someone who can skin could help me  rolleyes.gif  rolleyes.gif  rolleyes.gif make a decent skin then i can write a full guide, as i think this is what a lot of people want, uix with kai online support, or then again i could be wrong.

What are the barebone files required to run XLink? I would like to save space. . . XBMC is rather large to have an extra copy on the hard disk.
