Set this to whatever DVDplayer you like:
<autolaunchdvd>true</autolaunchdvd>
<dvdplayer>c:xboxdash.xbe</dvdplayer>

this is what it looks like is it right? it still wont work whats up any help out there?

Any Help Out There?

I wish someone would answer this. I'm having problems myself

Like I said.... the answer is in your config.xml...
-------------

<!-- Enable to auto-launch other app(xbe) upon DVD/CD insert -->
<autolaunchdvd>true</autolaunchdvd>
<dvdplayer>c:xboxdash.xbe</dvdplayer>

--------------

"True" in this section means that when you insert a DVD/CD your xbox will automaticly run the specified .xbe-file.
In your case c:xboxdash.xbe.
Try setting it to false if you dont want anything to happen.

There is a "DVD Player.cut" file that needs to be properly edited and placed in the xbmp folder. By default the cut file points to the xboxdash.xbe.

There is a "DVD Player.cut" file that needs to be properly edited and placed in the xbmp folder. By default the cut file points to the xboxdash.xbe.

Just to make one things straight:

The dvdplayer.cut and cdplayer.cut is no longer needed. (function is built into the config.xml now)

I am also having problems with XBMP. Initailly I had 2.1 and it worked fine, but I installed 2.4 and while it works, it can't find anything on my xbox hdd. On top of this, I can't even get 2.1 to load anymore. Any suggestions?

Well...I would have deleted this post as I fixed my problem, but instead I'll just let everyone know not to worry about answering my question

if u read my prev responce

<!-- Enable to auto-launch other app(xbe) upon DVD/CD insert -->
<autolaunchdvd>true</autolaunchdvd>
<dvdplayer>c:xboxdash.xbe</dvdplayer>

is in my config file it still wont work why?

when i put a original copy of caddyshack it loads and then loops right away to the evox dash can xbmp read original dvds?
