[XanTium]

XBMC for Xbox (XboxMediaCenter) SVN rev12544 build of April 06th 2008 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 pre0.99.4 rev2046 [scripts/Apple Movie Trailers]
+ EnderW & Blittan's XBMCScripts Installer 1.8 SCRIPT [scripts/XBMCScripts]
+ Team XBMC Lyrics 1.5.8 rev2068 SCRIPT [scripts/XBMC Lyrics]
+ Asteron's Tetris 1.1 SCRIPT [scripts/Tetris]
+ BigBellyBilly's T3CH Upgrader 1.4 [scripts/T3CH Upgrader]
+ Nuka1195 & Dataratt's AOL Videos Plugin 1.1.1 [plugins/video/AOL Videos Plugin]
+ Nuka1195's XBMC-Addons Installer 1.0 [plugins/programs/]
+ Codecs for mplayer [/system/players/mplayer/codecs/*]
+ PM3 Red Theme + PM3 Blue Theme by Jezz_X


Special Note From T3CH:

* XBMC Lyrics updated to 1.5.8. AMT updated to 0.99.4
* 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

NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD:

* merged: musicscrapers branch this adds scraper support for artists and albums in the music library. export/import library, nfo files, update on startup. pretty much everything is up to par with the video library features. note that some of these things are untested (in particular the nfo file support)
* modified: more performance tweaks to imdb movie scraper - rather than hitting the site 3 times for similar info we cache one html page local for 'cast > directors > writers' resulting in quite a significant speed up.

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!

INFORMATION from T3CH readme/nfo:

XBMC's online manual can be found at http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Main_Page .
Any questions or support issues, are best asked in the XBMC support forums, which are located at http://xbmc.org/forum/ , or in the official IRC support channel, #XBMC on Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net). (NOTE folks in #XBMC can't help with info where to find builds)


If you want other scripts (extra 3rd party components), see
- http://www.xbmcscripts.com or use the included script installer!

If you want trainers, grab them at
- http://www.google.com/search?q=xbox+trainers

The xbe has been retail patched and was built using v5849 of the XDK.

If you want to remove the startup logo, remove splash.png from the \media folder.
If you want to remove the startup sound, remove start.wav from the \skin\Project Mayhem III\sounds\ folder.

[NineT9mustang]

Found a pretty big bug in this build:


Thanks for everything t3ch your a sweetheart! By the way a lot of people seem to want to see pics of you since they found out your a girl...So any chance you can post some hot pics?

[6StringKng]

Thanks for everything t3ch your a sweetheart! By the way a lot of people seem to want to see pics of you since they found out your a girl...So any chance you can post some hot pics?

pics sound nice

[competes2win]

Thanks for everything t3ch your a sweetheart! By the way a lot of people seem to want to see pics of you since they found out your a girl...So any chance you can post some hot pics?

did t3ch actually say he/she is a girl... All I've seen about this subject are your posts every 2 weeks about it NineT9... I'm starting to think that perhaps you are t3ch... and a girl... lol

Anyhow, thanks to T3CH I have another nice build. Thanks!

[Dplusplus]

pics sound nice

T3CH has done such admirable work for all of us. I know some of you are just being playful with the picture requests, but does T3CH really owe us that?

This is something that T3CH is doing in spare time, with no compensation. It would be terrible if T3CH started rethinking this because people are just wondering how else we can exploit this generosity.

Perhaps we should just stick to being thankful. We certainly owe T3CH that.

[Horscht]

NineT9 is not making that up.

t3ch is a girl, and what a fine one!

[dokworm]

And I'm sure it makes her feel so appreciated when people ask for 'hot pics'. sheesh.

Thanks for the build, the IMDB lookup is *way* faster. kudos!

[Maverick-DBZ-]

Nice work on adding thetvdb.com, I can't wait to try it out!

[djdafreund]

I think that's awesome actually!!! Give it up for T3CH!!!! Granted i also build my own, but the scripts svn seems down currently, so this is still helpful for even the scripts.

THANKS T3CH!!

[webba2000]

Haven't try it yet.
Does the new codec VC-1 (Advanced profile WVC1) work properly?
Thank you

[Dynam!c]

Keep those builds coming girl! Many thanks, as always!

[shizzle01]
