[T3CH]

XboxMediaCenter SVN rev7841 build of 2007 compiled by T3CH

This is a complete snapshot of what was in SVN at the time
the build was compiled, with just a few small additions:

+ Killarny & Nuka1195 & Pikes AppleMovieTrailers (AMT) pre-0.96 (SVN 070216) [scripts: Apple Movie Trailers]
+ BritneysPAIRS's ~110 choosen Milkdrop presets [visualisations: MD - BPs Selection]

+ Codecs for mplayer [/system/players/mplayer/codecs/:*]

also this time I include:

+ Team Blackbolt's MC360 1.0 SKIN [skin: MC360]



Special Note From T3CH:

This is a special build to celebrate the release of MC360 1.0 - A skin I know many have been waiting for so long.

* If you currently use MC360 skin, you need to completely remove that old version before transferring this new one. Also see the README_MC360.txt!
* I'm also including some new scripts this time; SVN versions of AMT & AccuWeather. AccuWeather only works if you have a US zip/city set as your weather location.
* I'm including a preview of the new mplayer Elupus is working on (070214), report issues here: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23969 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.
* I've 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 http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?p=115893]here[/url]. 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]http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....oper_Bug_Report[/url ]

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 [url=http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=406656]http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=406656[/url ]

* 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: [url=http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=As_a_Dashboard]http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=As_a_Dashboard[/url ] (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]http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....=As_a_Dashboard[/url ] 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!

Edwindunlap has this uncanny ability to respond to things instantly after its posted, he claims he just has great timing, but I bet his F5 key has no F5 letters on it anymore, its just a smooth husk of a key.

Is anyone else having lockup issues with this build?
I can't seem to do anything without XBMC locking up on me.

[Nubbs]

no issues here.

[Exulus]

Yeah, i've had to reboot mine several times Seems quite unstable unfortunately. One reoccuring thing seems to be if i go into settings, and type in my master unlock code wrong, then the whole thing crashes. I just get an mc360 skin but no words and have to reboot by pressing the right thumb stick (which does bring up the menu). Everything else dissappears though.

PAL 4:3 xbox if that helps!

[flake1]

So this new MC360 skin won't work with the stable point release of XBMC??

So this new MC360 skin won't work with the stable point release of XBMC??

From the MC360 Readme:

Note: We recommend the very latest T3CH release always for use with MC360.

[moonymobile]

Is anyone else seeing an issue with 'System Info' in the 'System Settings' blade? Mine does not show any information, just a blank blade with the build information at the bottom.

System Info shows up just fine for me..


I deleted MC360 that came with this T3CH build and replaced it with one from the skin's SVN and now it works fine...no more lockups. Don't know why
