@Habs69M
Can you see your game disc contents over FTP?
Because i cant and i dont know why. Maybe because of my bios. What BIOS are you using?
Maybe my BIOS is the problem...

My bios is Evox 2.6 V1 blue and my kernel is 1.0.4034

[camora]

Yeah, there's something odd with 4978.03, but I was referring to the MXM FTP Server (I think you were using the BIOS FTP Server?)

I tried it with the MXM FTP Server and with EvoX, not with the BIOS FTP.
I will try to change my BIOS tomorrow. Its getting late here.

Yes! I changed my BIOS and now the script works like a charm.
Thanks @all

NewsfeedSwitch Action Script

Purpose: This action script is a temp fix for people who encounter problems with newsfeeds when the website providing the newsfeed slows down MXM as noted by several users here. I know BJ is working on a permanent fix but I think this does the job nicely for the interim. It basically lets you switch between 2 MXM.xml file versions. This same script can be used/modified to swap between 2 menu.xml files if you want to switch between 2 versions of menus as in a kids/limited only menu version that doesnt list apps or inappropriate games.

Usage:Place NewsfeedSwitch.xas anywhere on your xbox and use the callfile function to execute the script or simly imbed the script in your <action> taglines in your menu.xml. Also needed are 2 copies of your mxm.xml file with newsfeeds enabled in mxmnewsfeedon.xml and disabled in mxmnewsfeedoff.xml

NewsfeedSwitch.xas

Please post feedback and/or bugs in the script... I have tested it on my personal xbox and have not run into any problems yet.

PS: I even tried to get the character spacing right by adding whitespaces in the display screens. Hopefully there's a CENTER TEXT command in a future release of MXM

Would it be possible to customize the DVD Copy script so it can add the copied game to the Menu.XML? I think it would be really great to try something like that for people that don't use menu caching or already have there menu all manually setup the way they like it? or am i missing something can you already have the menu cache set to autoadd games to your game list in the menu?

[vexx22]

i don´t think that it can added know, but nobody knows what BJ will add in next version.

BJ added now a fully functional Mediapatch string for ActionScript, but isn´t useable yet. But in next version.

I am in the same boat with the copy script not working. Same setup as vexx. Can see the disc through MXM FTP. Do I need to change my bios in order for the script to work? All I get now is a reboot and the empty game folder in my games directory.

What BIOS are you using?

[vexx22]

I tried it now with several games originaal and backups and all copied perfect. Without one game but that was ok because it has an error in XBE title that make sthe Problem because in DExbe it was shown as 007|:|Nightfire and exactly this sign "|" made the problem i think bcause other games with space like "Dead or Alive 3" don t make a problem.

[Madgame]

My bios is X2 4976.02.

I was trying it with TWPGA2004.
