Xboxmediacenter - September 10th 2007 Svn Rev10193 Build, compiled by T3CH Options

[XanTium]

XboxMediaCenter SVN rev10193 build of September 10th 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 pre0.99 rev1486 [scripts/Apple Movie Trailers]
+ Nuka1195's Apple Movie Trailers Plugin 1.0 [plugins/video/Apple Movie Trailers Plugin]
+ EnderW & Blittan's XBMCScripts Installer 1.8 SCRIPT [scripts/XBMCScripts]
+ Team XBMC Lyrics 1.5.5 rev1325 SCRIPT [scripts/XBMC Lyrics]
+ Asteron's Tetris 1.1 SCRIPT [scripts/Tetris]
+ Nuka1195's T3CH Downloader SCRIPT rev1450 [scripts/T3CH Downloader]
+ Codecs for mplayer [/system/players/mplayer/codecs/:*]
+ PM3 Red Theme + PM3 Blue Theme by Jezz_X


Special Note From T3CH:

* AMT updated to pre0.99 rev1486. I also added the new AMT Plugin. Tetris has been updated to 1.1 (thanks Blittan).

* 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:

* A little info about the AMT Plugin. It relies on a functional AMT install (and with FULL database retrieved for ALL trailers to work - naturally). It needs to be added as a 'source' to Videos, you currently do this by using the context menu:Add Source>Browse>Video Plugins then >>SELECTING the plugins/video/Apple Movie Trailers Plugin FOLDER<<! After this is all done you browse it like any other source..

Here is the FULL changelog since the August 02nd 2007 SVN Rev10142 Build (last one posted on xbins/xbox-scene):

2007-09-10 10193 added: CVideoInfoTag::GetCast() function. (returns a concatenated string of actors and roles. pass true to have it return Actor and Role) added: ListItem.Cast, ListItem.CastAndRole, VideoPlayer.Cast and VideoPlayer.CastAndRole. (These return a newline concatenated string. Cast only returns the actors names) changed: XBMCHttp cast and InfoTagVideo_GetCast to use the new CVideoInfoTag::GetCast() function. added: "class" and "classandrole" to ListItem_SetInfo. (it can take a list of strings for Actors or a list of tuples with (Actor, Role,)

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!

anyone here interested in updating my box, I used to do this stuff but I havent updated in a couple years and really dont want to full w/ it

pmme

[anoobie]

thanks for the update

[wizbitz]

Thanks for the updates.

I've noticed adding a folder.jpg to video plug-in sources only shows once you click into the source and for that 1 session only.

As soon as you leave that area of xbmc then go back to the plugin folders the folder.jpg has vanished from view and getting it to show up means clicking into the folders then back.This only lasts for that 1 time. When you leave that window the folder.jpg is blank again.

I've also noticed that the plugins wont always load every time you click the folders.Sometimes you just see the files in the plugin folder rather than the intended results.You have to click back and then go back into the plugin folder.

Just curious... there was no other brand DVD player they could use in the skin? Why Sony of all brands?

[blondguyg]

For some reason, scanning for the TV Show library isnt working very well for me.

I'm using the convention /Show/Season ##/##x## (season x episode number)

When I scan a show it is not pulling episode names or any episode info at all for that matter, so in library mode it will tell me how many episodes for a particular show and just give me episode numbers and nothing else.

This is with a clean install, the previous t3ch build was scanning my shows without any problems. Oh and I'm using thetvdb.com for scraping.



I'll see if I can mess around with it and find out any further info.

xbmcscripts usually takes a couple of tries for me. just try it again a few times and it might work for you.

The site seems to be having problems again.

Still having problems with youtube not working.
Just freezes and have to restart box.

This has only happened since rev. 9731 ( 30th July 2007 ) on this build everything runs fine but after this build including this latest build this problem accurs.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Really like this new build even without youtube.
