XboxMediaCenter SVN rev9771 build of July 30th 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 & Pike's Apple Movie Trailers (AMT) SVN pre0.98.7 rev1201 [scripts: Apple Movie Trailers]
+ BritneysPAIRS's ~110 choosen Milkdrop presets [visualisations: MD - BPs Selection]

+ PM3 Red Theme + PM3 Blue Theme by Jezz_X


Special Note From T3CH:

* Thanks to Blittan for the icon for T3CH Downloader script.
* 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: Three great new screensavers thanks to Asteron.
* Changed : PM3 - Replaced the XBOX logo in the home screen with a version of the official XBMC logo. XBMC is no longer just a "Xbox" Application and the default skin needs to reflect this. Also as Team branding so people know they are running XBMC. Trust me it grows on you
* Removed: XPR font support
* Fixed/Changed : Removed the old XPR default font. It was broken since the introduction of 3D skin stuff. Replaced it with a free for non profit use font FrancophilSans by Manfred Klein Due to similarities to old xpr default http://www.moorstation.org/typoasis/design...klein/index.htm

Screenshot of the new PM3 skin with new logo and font. This is the 'Blue Theme' (also included in T3CH rls), green will be default of course

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!

no wonder they've won the sourceforge award in numerous areas... i mean, my GOD you guys put a lot of work into this program. i always enjoy the new features (especially the new screensavers) or extras you guys work so hard on it implement.

once again, awesome work, i cannot wait until the possibility of xbmc360 is possible!

[NineT9mustang]

Go t3ch!! Good to see theres still motivation to keep going

I cannot wait for PS3-XBMC or however they are going to name it WHEN its done ( Not IF its done )

Edit: mlapaglia... I'm afraid they didn't win any awards this year at SourceForge because 2 reasons... 1) People didn't know there was voting going on and 2) The people that did know that didn't vote are too lazy and don't apreciate XBMC enough to go vote

Wow very fast release considering I just submitted that patch for those.

Here's a link to my site where I give a writeup of each of the new screensavers.
http://asteron.projects.googlepages.com/screensavers

In particular I think AsterWave may become popular.



Can you please add these to the story text?

I thougtht XBMC stood "Xbox Media Center"...I like the idea of people knowing I was running this powerful media on my xbox and not a pc

Great Build!

Not a fan of the font, its just so "compressed", I know its changable...

Just wanted to point out that it still says "xbox media center" in menus etc, top left hand area. I guess that will need to be updated.

[Robotic Clone]

It might just be my xbox but when i changed the default skin to any of the included ones NO TEXT was visable. I will fill out a bug report but I guess when they changed fonts they didn't put the new into the other skins.

[Lush]

loving the new update...

I agree, might stick with an older version for a while until they fix it. the font looks more narrow, compressed than the previous builds (especially on the main menu).

you can get used to it, but for now i'll perfer not too.

other than that the skin looks fantastic. I love the blue theme (although a slightly darker shade may be better)

awesome work.
