Special Note From T3CH:

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!

Enable the http server.


When is the LCD output bug going to be fixed?

[Aiden1945]

Annoying new way to delay subtitles. It jumps from milesecond to milisecond.

What it should be done is to keep the old half second fraction system and rise the +-10seconds to +-several minutes.

Great work and thanks a lot.

I'm very excited about that. Not much has had to be changed at all!


That spells good news


I'm Dl'ing now and will leave my positive feedback after installation!

[Bloodfin]

Everythings perfect so far!!!


One thing,... does anyone else have troubles with the RSS not showing up?

Same thing here as well. Weather shows up on the home screen (using Mediafire) but it takes an age to do so. Also scraping TV and movies doesn't fetch up any info or thumbs and a couple of times appears to have frozen my xbox. I'm gonna try another fresh install to see if the problems still occur.

Big thumbs-up to everyone involved with XBMC, I really appreciate all the effort that goes into it.

[Bloodfin]

Yup,....now that I checkedon it I have the same issue.

Usually I do a fresh instalbut this one was a upgrade. I'll try the fresh install.

[elitegamer360]

Many thanks as usual

Rss not working from rev15293~rev15336

rev15165 RSS is working..

[modslave]

My RSS is working fine tho my LCD still aint so hot

[jmarshall]

LCD was fixed after this release.

Note that the "lack of changes" you see is due to everything being done in the linuxport branch - as you can see, I merged about 200 revisions back over, which is the only changelog message of substance.

You can see what is being fixed as it is fixed here: http://xbmc.org/trac/timeline

and track progress for the atlantis release here: http://xbmc.org/trac/milestone/8.10

As for the RSS issue, you need to supply a full debug log, as it's working perfectly for many users.

Cheers,
Jonathan
