Xboxmediacenter - January 16th 2007 Svn Rev7667 Build, compiled by T3CH Options

[XanTium]

XboxMediaCenter SVN rev7667 build of January 16th 2007 compiled by T3CH

This is a complete snapshot of what is in SVN at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions:
+ Killarny & Nuka1195 & Pikes AppleMovieTrailers (AMT) 0.93.5 FIXED [scripts: Apple Movie Trailers]
+ BritneysPAIRS's ~110 choosen Milkdrop presets [visualisations: MD - BPs Selection]
+ EnderW & Blittans XBMCScripts Installer 1.4 SCRIPT [scripts: XBMCScripts]
+ Rockstar's Snake 1.0 SCRIPT [scripts: Snake]
+ Codecs for mplayer [/system/players/mplayer/codecs/:*]


Special Note From T3CH:

* I'm including a package of "Picture Icons" for use with new TuxBox Client, see _tools/PictureIcon.rar.
* I'm including a preview (070117) of the new mplayer Elupus is working on, report issues here. It's located in the TEST subfolder, simply replace the 2 files in XBMC/system/players/mplayer/ if you want to help Team XBMC test it.
* Since I haven't seen any newer version of AMT than 0.93.5, I applied the fix floating around so atleast it works now.
* I also tweaked the win32 run_me_first.bat so it runs and then unmounts the virtual drives when you exit.
* I'm also including the 'XBMC Win32 PC environment' .exe that is meant for skinners & python developers, read more about the concept here. It was built using Microsoft DirectX Summer 2004 SDK.
* If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....oper_Bug_Report

NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD:

* sources.xml: added TuxBox bookmarks

INSTALL NOTES from T3CH readme/nfo:

* APPLICATION INSTALL
- Fresh Install: Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder (or where you want it).
- Upgrade: Backup the XBMC\UserData folder. Transfer whole XBMC folder to Xbox. Overwrite UserData folder with your backed up copy.

* DASHBOARD INSTALL (SOFTMODS)
ARE NOT COVERED IN THIS README, SEE http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=406656

* DASHBOARD INSTALL
- Option 1. Team XBMC's shortcut tool.
It's included in the _tools folder as <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>> + <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg>>.
Instructions here: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=As_a_Dashboard (Option 1).
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
See APPLICATION INSTALL above.
- Option 2. Thanks to an app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now easy...
Transfer contents of XBMC folder (this is VERY important since the tool is hardcoded) TO "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<SHORTCUT by TEAM UIX.xbe>> to something your bios can boot (see http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=As_a_Dashboard or read your BIOS README) and transfer to location your mod solution boots. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you need not to worry about this file (unless you move XBMC).

* WIN32 PC ENVIRONMENT INSTRUCTIONS (WIN32 FOLDER)
Good to know, this requires DirectX9 Runtimes to be installed. Also this doesn't work with all graphics cards.
You need to:
- Copy XBMC_PC.exe & 'run_me_first.bat' from win32 to XBMC folder
- Run 'run_me_first.bat'
- Run XBMC_PC.exe

* UPGRADE TIPS
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
- Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build
- Delete old settings (from UserData/guisettings.xml)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in UserData/Database/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!

Nice.
I'm off to download and to check out the info on the new features.
Thanks Team XBMC !!!!!!

[Smidley]

So do we have to start a new video database with this build?

And, what is this Tuxbox thingy? SourceForge doesn't give much information.

[edwinmcdunlap]

Awesome.. something to hold me over until I get VS.NET and the XDK reinstalled on my computer

[Nubbs]

Thanx for the release guys!

Has anyone been brave enough to try this? Was the video library intact?

Thanks for the great work!

[Darktempest]

Was the video library intact?

Nope, the build says you have to nuke the video DB, but even if you dont the new version wont read it. Had to rebuild the bugger with 300 movies... man that takes a long time

But the new reflection code for Clearity is badass

[kimgitz]

thanks again

[johnnywikked]

So now X-Scene is linking to a compiled version of XBMC?
What's up with that?

[Spaceman2004]

All I can see is a link to the source!

I would still like to know more about tuxbox though!

[Calm-sandwich]

The link to T3CH's site has the compiles on it for download, that is cool. No more FTPing around to get the latest. Thanks T3CH, you rock..:

[soopahfly]

Does this build still have an issue with accessing a LanHDD with smb?

[boule]

@soopahfly: look at #7605 on the changelog, maybe your problem is solved =)

The queue info for all files is missing in the my videos section. Its in the music sections named scan all to database which is probably the new name but that also does not exists in the my videos sections. So there is no way to automatically scan your entire movie database. I downloaded the 1-09 rev 7554 build and it was in there so either I'm missing something or it just does not exists in this 1-16 build.
