[XanTium]

XboxMediaCenter SVN rev9113 build of May 27th 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 Apple Movie Trailers (AMT) SVN 0.97.5 [scripts: Apple Movie Trailers]
+ BritneysPAIRS's ~110 choosen Milkdrop presets [visualisations: MD - BPs Selection]

Special Note From T3CH:

* 2 small additional extras are included with this build, PM3 Red Theme & PM3 Blue Theme both created by Jezz_X; change Skin color under Settings/Appearance.
* 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:

* added: Waveform visualisation - simple example.
* added: Support for skin color themes - done by placing an xml file in /colors folder. /colors/defaults.xml is the default color theme (if available). PM3 updated by Jezz_X to use the new xml layout.
* fixed: Weird looking images with certain widths

*keymap.xml:

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!

thanx again

[Illumi.Naughty]

Thank You!
Team XBMC is the best. Upgrading Now.

As I said in the last build:

XBMC doesn't save the individual settings anymore if you watch a video.

I watch a movie with Zoom - after stopping and restarting the movie it will be played with the saved standard settings. Older builds are fine.

Nice, but I updated like two days ago. I wish XBMC had an upgrade script

by zoom do you mean pressing the Y button? i think thats why its temporary. can you not set your settings in the setting>video not while the video is playing? or just delete inside UserData folder...

it has but i think it olny downloads the zip version via XBMC, so you gotta extract it

Does it save if you let it run to the end of the movie? (You can seek within a minute or so of the end to save you waiting

Thanks Jezz X and Team XBMC.

How 'bout a screen shot of the new color PM3 theme.

[Bomb Bloke]

So now mod chip detection is disabled by default? Does this cause any issues if we don't enable it again?

[jmarshall]

Yes. Modchip detection will not function obviously!

Other than that, no issues. ie XBE's will launch fine. Only re-enable modchip detection if you know it doesn't affect you (ie non-X2 modchip) and you desire the functionality (though if you know you don't have an X2, why do you need to be constantly reminded about what chip you have? )

Cheers,
Jonathan

no kidding man, it would be very nice - i used to always upgrade often and keep the newest upgrade, but now unless some dramatic new feature is released, i would rather not deal with the hassle of the upgrade...

No, he is referring to when you press 'Select' button on the xbox DVD remote to change the video settings (zoom, stretch, etc).

Thanks for continuing to make this the best xbmc around . Couple of things, for some reason you cannot run "http" scripts with this new build. I tested by going back to the last build and it works perfectly, but it's not working with this new one. Here is a example link http://www.maniatv.com/video/default-300.asx

Lastly, I mentioned this awhile back but the problem still exist. Seems like live streaming video like the link I provided above is lagging. Movement goes in slow motion but the sound is perfect. The last one that worked perfect was rev 8443 as the mplayer.dll is causing the lag. Thanks

[Dimgo]

Great!
I'll try this and see if it solves my problems.

Starting with the 2007-05-20-build, I can't access my Vista computer over the network. It didn't work with the Final FAT version, as I followed the T3CH-releases it suddenly worked with, I think the release before the 2007-05-20 build. But as I said, the last version crippled my network comunications again :-(

So, looking forward to see if this one will do it :-)

Thanx for your hard work!!! Your the best!
