[XanTium]

XBMC for Xbox (XboxMediaCenter) SVN rev16762 build of December 30th 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 pre-0.99.7.1 rev2372 [scripts/Apple Movie Trailers]
+ Nuka1195's Apple Movie Trailers II Plugin 1.4.1 [plugins/video/Apple Movie Trailers II]
+ Team XBMC Lyrics 1.6.0 rev2346 SCRIPT [scripts/XBMC Lyrics]
+ Asteron's Tetris 1.1 SCRIPT [scripts/Tetris]
+ BigBellyBilly's T3CH Upgrader 1.7.4 SCRIPT [scripts/T3CH Upgrader]
+ Boris Sitsker's YouTube 3.2 SCRIPT [scripts/YouTube3]
+ Nuka1195's SVN Repo Installer 1.1 PLUGIN [plugins/programs/]
+ Codecs for mplayer [/system/players/mplayer/codecs/*]


Special Note From T3CH:

* Due to the slowed down development in the Xbox branch, I will no longer release new SVN builds as often as I did before. So I will still build (the best) new XBMC SVN builds for Xbox but just on an irregular basis. Note that I removed the MediaStream skin due to its significant addition to the package.
* 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:

2008-12-30 16762 [Xbox]: merged Linuxport revisions 16612,16650,16651,16653,16657,16661-16662,16673,16676,16677,16680,16685,16699-16701,16703-16705,16708,16709,16711,16714,16715,16716,17617,16720-16723,16727,16733
2008-12-25 16713 [Xbox]: changed: we shouldn't pushback paplayer for content "video/avi"
2008-12-24 16710 [Xbox]: changed: video resume logic. Now the resume point is NOT saved when within the first 15 seconds or in the last second.
2008-12-23 16682 [Xbox]: fixed hang at shutdown/reboot when Python scripts are running. I consider this a workaround (disabled StopThread()) and not an actual fix, but it will have to do for now. Fixes #5532
2008-12-22 16649 [Xbox]: merged Linuxport revisions 16489,16492,16499,16509,16510,16525-16528,16533,16535-16537,16550-16553,16555 16556,16563-16565,16572,16577,16586,16587,16601,16604,16611,16613,16614,16618
2008-12-18 16606 [Xbox]: Cosmetics
2008-12-18 16605 [Xbox]: fixed: FatX limiter allowed certain illegal character. This could cause ie access/copy errors rather then converting them to _. Also improved the FatX limiter so it will now try to convert to close "looking" characters if possible (ie. ü -> u) instead of always converting to _. Fixes #5285
2008-12-17 16591 [Xbox]: fixed DVDPlayer should also be used with UPnP sources when the filetype is "video/avi".
2008-12-16 16583 [Xbox]: changed version string to "pre-9.04"
2008-12-15 16581 [Xbox]: fixed "Play using..." for UPnP sources. Also made the DVDPlayer default when file is on internet & filetype is unknown. This is should also fix not being able to seek (ff/rw) through files on UPnP sources.

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.

[metalcoat]

Anyone know if the getitem bug is fixed in this? Apparently this is just an xbox problem and doesn't effect desktop versions.

[scottylans]

Every time I hear the line about XBMC for Xbox 1 slowing down develoment, makes me sad - it's like someone is slowly putting down the family dog (and in my opinion, before its time)

Damn I wish a PS3 edition was possible curse sony for removing the loophole to access the GPU.

[Suniikaa]

Web folder is missing again

[6StringKng]

Haven't updated in a while, downloading now, thanks! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

[lawdawg0931]
