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!

Thanks again Team XBMC & T3CH for the builds. Also the fix for music videos not playing from library (thanks spiff), thought it was me...I was losing my mind.

[cooljerk_dv]

nice updates. . .thanks

[Super-FX]

Thanks again Team XBMC & T3CH for the builds.
Will update later tonight.

Hi, thnx for the great work.

I've got a little problem with the music video smart playlists. It doesn't seem to find my music vid's. I just get the message "Party Mode mode aborted. No Matching songs in the Library."

I have already scanned in the music video folder share. & I do get basic (ie artist & title only) when going to music video informations. I know this is because I haven't created any nfo files for my music vids, but just shows that I have actually scanned them into the DB.

The partymode playlist is set to find songs where the artist does not contain alice cooper. I've also tried setting this so that it does contain alice cooper. Each time I get the same error as above. I do have a music video where alice cooper is the artist & it has been scanned into the lib.

There are various errors in my log, but I'll post a snippet below in case it helps to figure this out. Let me know if you need a full debug log or anything:

Absolutely fantastic how XBMC is worked on and updated so often!!!
XBox is old hardware but XBMC and all of devs out there keeps it alive!!!
Truly outstanding!!!
Ty!!!

[spiff]

hard to tell, but according to your queries you do not have any mvids which has artist Alice Cooper.

mind for typos or the like. only thing i can think of, it worked for me before i commited it obviously. if not, providing the db would help.

[craigey]

Cheers for the reply Spiff.

I've checked spelling & checked the DB (Uploaded to Here).
Actors.idActor 5408 = strActor Alice Cooper
artistlinkmusicvideo.idArtist 5408 = idMVideo 192
musicvideo.idMVideo 192 = C00 Poison

I could understand typo's being the issue, but I've tried this on other artists & different smart playlist criteria etc. I also selected the artist using browse when building the smart playlist, so I assumed the artist list was built from scanned media.

Cheers

[spiff]

it definitely is built from the scanned media so something funky is up (i'm not surprised, i hardly got any feedback on the stuff up until now...)

i'll track it down using your db when i have the spare time. could i have the xsp as well so i'm 100 i see the same you are seeing?

cheers,

spiff

XSP file Here.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I'm glad it (so far) hasn't turned out to be something that I'm doing wrong!

[elitegamer360]

Great build again Thank you guys.

[spiff]

found the issue, will fix, just needs some pondering on how to do it

[craigey]

Hooray It's not something I've done wrong!!!
Cheers Spiff.

[spiff]

hopefully fixed in svn with the help of d4rk and szori.

the issue was that no mvideos without a genre would be matched by the sql.

as a temporary workaround until you can get a new build you can use this file. it will assign the genre placeholder to all files during filename scrapes (stick it in system/scrapers/video)
