Special Note From T3CH:

* Alright, so my page has moved to http://t3ch.yi.se . Long story short, the xil.us domainowner lost it due to an old mailbox he couldn't access.
* I'm 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.
* I've tweaked the win32 >>run_me_first.bat<< so it runs and then unmounts the virtual drives when you exit.
* 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:

* AMT has been updated to tagged 0.97.5 (not pre- like before).

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!

INFORMATION from T3CH readme/nfo:

XBMC's online manual can be found at http://wiki.xboxmediacenter.com/ .
Any questions or support issues, are best asked in the XBMC support forums, which are located at http://forum.xboxmediacenter.com , or in the official IRC support channel, #XBMC on Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net). (NOTE folks in #XBMC can't help with info where to find builds)

If you want other skins (make sure they are up-to-date and compatible before installing them), see:
- http://www.allxboxskins.com/skins/index.ph...=XBMC&cat=0 or
- http://www.xbox-skins.net/forums/index.php?dlcategory=7
there's a list of 2.0 compatible skins here:
- http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index....patibility_List

If you want other scripts (extra 3rd party components), see
- http://www.xbmcscripts.com or use the included script installer!

If you want trainers, grab them at
- http://www.google.com/search?q=xbox+trainers

The xbe has been retail patched and was built using v5849 of the XDK.

If you want to remove the startup logo, remove splash.png from the \media folder.
If you want to remove the startup sound, remove start.wav from the \skin\Project Mayhem III\sounds\ folder.

I have to say that I haven't commented before on XBMC but first off I think it is a wonderful program. This far exceeds anything that I could ever hope to create but I have to speak up concerning the last few builds. First off, I always start from scratch when uploading a new build.

The first coulple items that seem to have gotten "Broke" is the upnp and network browsing for sources. Every time I try to create a upnp share it locks up. I have noticed that you cannot even browse to create a new one unless there is a blank one there first.

The second item is trying to create a source under music or video by browsing to a network source and browsing with smb. Either you have to go back and forth a few times to browse where you want to on the network or else xbmc locks up.

Going back more than the last 2 builds have been problems with the video scrapers and being able to manually add something or changing a file or folder if the scrapers find the wrong item. This has been showing up and dropping out and showing back up for about 4 or 5 builds.

Finally under genres in the music library, instead of creating just the genre from the music id, it has been creating a genre for every comment I have in my mp3's. This looks kingd of weird since there are cryptic notes there.

Don't get me wrong, I think you guys are doing a terriffic job but these are the same problems that people aren't catching that seem break while trying to correct another bug or while enhancing other features.

Thanks for a great program and keep up the good work!!!!

[Berzerker92]

great job. im probably one of the few that updates every time a new build is put out.

the only thing i wanna see before the end of xbmc is the ability to play m4p's

[jmarshall]

Regarding the network browse issue - I'll take a look.

Regarding the Genres, I have not noticed this behaviour at all - comments and genres should not overlap at all. Perhaps you could provide a single music file that exhibits this behaviour? You may PM me a link to it (or to request email or whatever) if you don't wish to make it public.

Cheers,
Jonathan

[robla64]

I have also had problems browsing the smb shares the last few builds... The workaround I have been using is manually entering the smb computer share name.
Thanks

[jmarshall]

Browsing for share is fixed in rev 9035.

[Blue_Dawg]

You Rock! Thanks for keeping XBMC fresh and up to date and for making these easy to install builds. Makes it way easier on me since I don't know how to compile at all. You have made my Xbox more usable than I ever thought possible. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

I've been having a problem with these latest builds. Namely, when I run any .xbe, the screen goes black and the xbox crashes. Anyone else experiencing this?

*edit*
Tried clean install, still no luck.
Works with latest release build (2.0.1)

Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting this new build of XBMC to load up. I've got the log files and it looks like it might be a problem with the sources.xml file, but I could be wrong. Here's the log file I got when I loaded XBMC with the settings I had from the previous build.

There was no sources.xml in the userdata folder in this new current build (May 20th build). Hope this helps. I'm going back to previous build.

[war-nerve]

It's fixed now. Looks like it had nothing to do with the source.xml file. What I did for the first time was use the T3CH Downloader script to download the latest version of XBMC (Rev9030) and for some reason it did not extract everything because when I deleted the XBMC folder in UnleashX dashboard it said that it was only 38mb big. I know that most of the time XBMC is around 100mb big, so that's why I decided to FTP into my xbox through my PC and upload it manually and looks like everything is working.

Thanks for the great dashboard, guys ! Good night

[Bomb Bloke]

For those having trouble running XBE files:

Add the below line to "AdvancedSettings.xml" goes in your UserData folder. Create the file if you don't already have it. Bug your modchip producer to fix the problem if this does the job.

<disablemodchipdetection>true</disablemodchipdetection>
