Let's keep this interesting - but real lol. Everyone is going to have their own specific quirks they are gonna want the dash to do. But be real - if you can't think of at least 5 other ppl who would want something - chances are it's not gonna float.

Also post in here what helpfull threads you have come accross that you think should be added to one of the other categorized list threads...

One feature i think would be very useful is auto renaming of files when doing ftp. That is to say if a filename is too long or has an useable character that they be automatically renamed so they can keep transfering.

Man, cant believe I didnt see this before. Sorry bout that Jbone. Anyways, I wondered if we could have it so games AND movies could be booted only with the press of the thumbstick to lauch. Thats one of the coolest ideas of the dash right now. I wondered if we could have it where if its powered on with a movie or IGR with a movie in the drive, that it would go to the dash and not to the media in the drive. I know you can name your D:/default.xbe to something else in your bios, but that doesnt take care of movies.

I have a small suggestion. For some reason whenever i try to use soundtrack editor or they other program like that which ftps .wma's from your computer to your xbox st.db, my st.db ALWAYS get currupt! They only way i can add music is by burning it to a cd and then having my dashboard convert each one to wma and add it to the soundtracks, and this is a pain in the butt since i had to erase all my song and i have over 1000 songs i want back on my xbox. And since i heard how your going to get rid of the 100 soundtrack limit (THANK YOU!!) i was thinking that maybe there might be some way to add in the ability to take a cd (maybe even a dvd?) full of .wma's in folders on the cd/dvd named by artists and just have the dashboard make soundtracks named by the artists (which were taken from the folders on the cd/dvd) and then just copy each .wma inside that folder to the corresponding soundtrack. Would this be at all possible? Its just a thought, but keep up the awesome work JbOnE!!

Is it possible to have it so that the dvd player will play movies with menus etc off of the hard drive as well as from disc...? maybe even have it scan specific folders for movie artwork to display as thumbnails making it easier to select....??

Is it possible for Soundtrack subfolders?

For example, say I had 2 Paul Wall albums.. The main folder would be Paul Wall, the subfolders would be the 2 album names, and in those the actual WMAs.. I hope this can be done, it would kick ass...

Keep up the good work!

world in an oyster : what i think jbone meant by he is going to be adding mp3 is that he will just be adding the ability to play back mp3s that you have on your xbox's hard drive, not save songs in the .mp3 format to the st.db and have games play them back. Only time will tell what JbOnE has in store for this great dash, i know i cant wait!

Hey JbOnE, i was thinking, if you where able to add ftp to the XBE, it would be possible to add a Xlink KAI UI to the dashboard too... this would be totaly cool...

Just an idea, would be nice to hear a word from you about this..

Keep the good work....

Cant wait for that ftp enabled xbe.

It would be cool if you could have a choice of displaying the ring around the orb and the clock panel with a click of a button!

It would also be cool if the Movie, Game, and applications Icons could be disabled/enabled with a click of a button.

one feature that im really waiting for to make tHc complete (and to make it my default dash) is for it to be able to read the name inside the XBE (and Icon as well if poss !!)

i beleive this has been done ? just not released ? (not icon)
as reading the news by tHc, about all the BlackstormX stuff they put ..
"turned on my xbox (running tHc with a hack so that it reads .xbe names)"

now this would cure the problem which it creates when used along side of PxHDDLoader, where the folder names are not named
as this thread http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=262009

many Thanks, and a thumbs up for all ya doin' for the xbox scene as a whole
Mick ..

Just thought of auto temperature control (like xbmc) and auto time setting if corrupt (like avalaunch).

*fan control, guess that goes without saying if I already suggested auto temp.

One suggestion i would like to see in tHc Final would be maybe settings for interchangable screen savers like in XBMC, and if that could be done instead of the dash dimming then i would like to see the matrix screensaver implemented!!!

just a suggestion...

One other thing i forgot was the progressive scan patch. Any way to make it kind of like a toggle in the dash so if you go play it on your friends hdtv or somethin you have a better lookin dash? Its kind of a very backseat request but figured id ask.

*Another thing that I thought of that may slip into the "be real guys" section, but I thought id mention anyway, is a hide feature per xbe (or folder in general?) so that say you have a game, movie, or whatever else fits in a folder that you dont want displayed you can disable its appearance or have a password to access it? Like i said tho, it may not appeal to most and its just a thought.

Only a small function but i think it's usefull.

The scrolling of game names in the menu when a title is to long to fit in the window. Just like the scrolling of long media names in XBMC.

Also..

RSS feeds would be cool and shoutcast (with recorder?) support.

Keep up the amazing work

Is it possible to make the song that plays on boot random? I've been changing the names of my mp3's just so I don't have to listen to the same song when the dash loads.

Agreed.



i agree to

hability to play media files , like Mp3 , XMV , WMV , ogg , vob from HD or DVD ROM

hey has anyone thought about Album art that shows up like the game icons for music folders? and with the ftp now enabled Rss feeds, local city temp, even radio shoutcast type deals would be nice!

.....did not see the temp, and fan speeds untill the 1.1 release

I think a very useful feature would be to be able to force the duplex settings on the XBOX's NIC.

A lot of people, including myself can't get the xbox to auto neg at 100/full. If there were an option to force these settings in the network config file it would certainly make transferring large amounts of large files over to the xbox less painful.

Other than that, i'm already extremely pleased with all your hardwork and tireless efforts!

Excellent UnRiveled Work!

Is the THC team planning to release a THC lite .xbe with just FTP support?

This would be really cool, because I doubt I will use all the extra features in XDN, but I want a good looking simple dash that has FTP support, that is basically like Lite.

It could be called THC Medium! JK!

You know how the very first nexgen beta release has the snow falling? Yah well, that would be cool to have something like that in a hacked MS dash. Except with changable meshes.

Support for the remote would be hot!
Evox and XBMC (and the MS dash) have support, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I apologise if this has already been discussed.

DVD's from the HDD using the tHc music control panel!

Here's the vote count on that idea:
