Special Note From T3CH:

* 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

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!

wmv/asf playback is still spotty

You know thats the second time Ive seem you post that with absolutly no info to back it up. So I will help you and show you how to do it proper
Now as for WMV I have no problem with it all

But the 1 .asf file I have on my system does not play, here is the debug log http://pastebin.ca/630349 but my guess is it has to do with this line
13:27:40 M: 28856320 DEBUG: msg: Invalid length in ASF header!
and here is what Media Player Classic which can play the file says it is

Audio: Windows Media Audio 44100Hz mono 32Kbps [Raw Audio 0]
Video: Windows Media Video 8 320x240 159Kbps [Raw Video 1]

excellent build - keep them coming...

just this past weekend i installed the oldest xbmc build i could find on my pc just to see the incredible progress - it was from 07-29-2004 - that's almost 3 years ago!

and i even remember xbmp before that...ah the good ol days...

[data10]

Just a quick question - I am trying to figure out how you activate the 'wrap view' when playing music. i.e. the iphone / cover flow looking menu.

I understand the XBMC well enough, i've had it installed for about 8 months. I dumped my old build and installed the latest build from T3CH but can't seem to be able to activate the wrap view.

Is it in a particular skin? Any help is appreciated, thanks for all the work into putting this nice package together!

and jmarshall just added edge AA so it will look smoother edges of covers on the xbox
EDIT:
(these shots do not have AA enabled)

K - here is a pic of what I saw in a video T3CH posted that I want to do:



Here is a pic of 'cover flow', an app Apple bought to throw into the iphone and itunes (which is really cool):

Ok,

I see my flaw, I downloaded the 'stable' release believing it would be there. I need to live a bit more dangerous and download the SVN release

Ok, i gotta be to work at 8 am so I'm starting the download and hittin the bed.

I cannot thank you enough for the help - long live XBMC!
