Support For X264.mp4 Options

[Ash123]

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me. I've been using XBMC 2.0.0 (10-26-2006 CVS T3CH build) for years now (came with Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.7). Never had any problems. Not bothered about fancy scripts, all I want is for it to play video files without crashing.

But now release groups have moved over from XviD.avi to the x264.mp4 format as standard and XBMC v2 doesn't seem to support this file format. I was looking to update XBMC but I've read the comments about later releases for XBMC containing more bugs as time has gone on.

Is it possible just to update the codec for XBMC so it plays these files without having to update XBMC to the latest version?

Thanks.

OK, I installed XBMC4XBOX-3.0.1-STABLE and it works! Yippee! The files play so I am happy with that. Thanks for the HD tip, I'll look out for that if and when I need it.

The only thing now is the skin, I really liked the old MC360 skin that came with XBMC 2.0. I thought I could just transfer that skin folder into the new one but it says skin is not compatible, only skins from v 2.1.0 onwards.

I see there is a link on the XBMC4XBOX website but it just goes to some text files. http://www.xbmc4xbox.org/skins/mc360

Does anybody have the zip/rar for this?

Thanks.
