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://xbmc.org/wiki/index....oper_Bug_Report

2008-02-16 11690 cleanup: Namespace pollution cleaned up. Please refrain from "using namespace blah" within headers. Thanks to the author.
2008-02-15 11685 updated: Greek, Finnish, and Dutch translations. Thanks ydatografida, mikko70, and gigantisch.
2008-02-14 11677 backport: r11617 from linuxport. "updated: better implementation of "revealing" progress control (thx jmarshall). Set <reveal>yes</reveal> in the control definition."
2008-02-14 11673 changed: added path to MediaConnect
2008-02-14 11672 changed: outputs xbmc_pc.exe now in XBMC\Build instead of Debug and Release folder thus avoiding multiple entire tree
2008-02-14 11670 fixed: GetProtocolInfo was not transforming extension to lower case causing content type to be misconfigured changed: Xbox360 support! The 360 now can browse XBMC server and play music and video (whatever codec it can at least). No pictures yet. changed: some upnp:class changed for the 360 to be happy. Might break WMP on Vista. Needs testing. fixed: forced inclusion of port in urls for 360 to be happy fixed: upnp:class was wrong for music fixed: if no items were found during upnp browsing, returns 0 items instead of error changed: changed UPnP Server name to be compatible for 360. It's now "XBMC: MediaServer:" fixed: removed model name XBMC. The 360 doesn't like it ;-) added: if we failed to force UPnP Server to bind on port 80 (since xbox360 wants that for urls of files to stream), we try again with a random port. This might cause the 360 to not work though. Best is to disable xbmc http server or change its port to something different than 80 if that happens.
2008-02-14 11669 updated: libPlatinum with latest and greatest fixed: ssdp bug where it would incorrectly respond to the wrong source port for the second SSDP Search. The xbox 360 using different ports for each message it sends, it was failing to discover Platinum. addded: now events lastChange for UPnPRenderer correctly for new subscribers added: now moderate state variables that needs to be moderated (LastChange is 5 times per second only) refactored: control point and device host, they now have their own TaskManager so when it's easier to stop their own tasks when they Stop refactored: chunk decoder for HTTP 1.1 improved: HttpClientSocketTask now uses keep-alive so if the server is 1.1 or 1.0 with Connection: Keep-alive, it reuses the socket, useful for eventing added: Split up MediaConnect support and services into separate class, now CUPnPServer derives from PLT_MediaConnect. removed: support for embedded devices. It was not working anyway. NeroHome has been fixed and still works. refactored: move httpserver in start/stop so that it actually stops and cleans up when the device is stopped fixed: added total hack for 360 to work. The Search request is using ContainerID instead of ObjectID in the request! fixed: now starts a thread only when there's a need to event state variable changes to subscribers instead of in the ctor. Useful since the class is also used by ctrl points and they don't need to notify. fixed: check that the body stream of a request is rewindable before trying to send a request on a keep-alive socket. If it failed, we're screwed, so instead, we close the socket and reopen one. fixed: http server content type based on file extension was case sensitive fixed: http server now tries to bind hard (reuse address to no) refactord: ring buffer stream added: new downloader class fixed: don't use a query string for the service URLS (scpd, control and event) since some devices just don't like it! fixed: potential deadlock when stopping upnp while devices are running changed: moved SinkProtocolInfo specifics to xbmc into CUPnPRenderer instead of PLT_MediaRenderer (Platinum) fixed: PLT_FILTER_FIELD_AUTHOR and PLT_FILTER_FIELD_ALBUM were incorrect causing didl to be wrong hacked: the xbox360 doesn't like queries in url, it simply removes them. Since we use that to pass back to xbmc the path to the local file, it is a pb. Instead we percentencode the ? causing xbox360 to think it's the path. Then if we don't find a query, we look for "path=" in the url path. changed: made file server port public in PLT_FileMediaServer so that we can update/query it without recreating a new class (no need for setter/getter) changed: PLT_MediaBrowser Browse function now takes a flag for BrowseMetadata or BrowseDirectChildren instead of the actual string changed: try to always have a artist in didl even empty changed: updated Neptune library
2008-02-11 11623 changed: full cast defaults to "false" (one tvshow for example returned over 250+ actors, not exactly bandwidth friendly)
2008-02-11 11622 added: IMDb TV scraper for use with "tvshows" content (non wide-icon, this grabs portrait poster(s) from imdb, movieposterdb & impawards)

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://xbmc.org/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://xbmc.org/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).

* AN INTRODUCTION TO PLUGINS
XBMC has a system for Media plugins to allow browsing of remote content (Internet) using the regular filesystem approach.
Plugins are put inside >>XBMC/plugins/<video/music/pictures>/<< (I already do this for the one/s I include), furthermore they also need to be installed as a source in (video/music/pictures).
You do this install by using the contextmenu choice >>Add New Source<< while in ROOT list and then choosing ***Plugins as source.
Then you highlight (not select) the folder of the plugin you want to install. It will be saved inside sources.xml for future.

* 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!
