Build 575 WIP is up.

You may have to temporarily revert to the default skin or any light-weight skin when upgrading (only when you are experiencing problem). Trying to figure out what's wrong with the live update core files.


=============================================
Before retreating for the night, here's build 574.

Thanks folks!


=============================================
WIP Build 573 is up. Not much has changed from the last public release build except for the Info Text source and a few fixes.

Please give this a whirl.

Thanks.

Change Log for those who want to know... (btw, this is a GREAT idea, dont have to check the forum to see what has been fixed etc...)



I have checked the %free of drives and seems to be working fine (see image below).


I would suggest deleting the info.xml from your music folder to check if that is fixed, but i didnt have much time to look at the previous version, so some may have been fixed.

Cheers for all your work James.

Yes, I forgot to include that. Please delete your info.xml.

I hate I hate I hate my ISP and it stupid transperant proxy with its stupid bloody cache I can't even get it

Ok Ok I finally got this working and had an odd update experience
I had to revert to the original default skin to get the update to work I was using my new PM3 True one and it gave me an incorrupt file error on compile (Video Background maybe) its the first time that has ever happened to me ?

*Fixed Right and Bottom offset of Playlist background image.
Ok I still cant get this to work is this the correct format (these are extreme figures to test it)
<Playlist OffsetX="85" OffsetX2="200" OffsetY="92" OffsetY2="150" Top="155" Left="1" Width="640" Height="370" >


*Fixed Music info database for custom soundtracks.
Nice that it now defaults to the dir name have yet to test it fully

*Changed Re-wrote InfoText source which demands too much memory causing
corruption in the display
Well the percent displays for me and I havn't seen any other errors crop up in it YET




EDIT ------------------------------------------------------------

Ok think I found a bug seems
Align="Middle"
dosn't work anymore on text items

Uploaded 574 up.

Hmn, I think "Middle" was implemented wrongly before and I corrected it in 570. "Middle" is for vertical allignment, while "Center" is for horizontal. Or have I messed it up?

Actually middle was for both I don't know why but thats how its always been =\ I awlays thought center was better but for backwards compatibilty see from the docs

Plain Center never came into it
and from your own skin MetallicAtmosphere.zip fromthe latest releases

Build 574:

I can now download preview videos straight from the dash... however i still get a blank list for the skins for xbox-skins.net, i do however get a list for AXS.

Cheers,
Stuart

can we maybe get a small addin in the next build to the skins
<RSS_SEPARATORCOLOR>0x00000000</RSS_SEPARATORCOLOR>

Ok this is interesting, If I run either of my 2 latest PM3 skins True and stats mark3 I cannot get liveupdate to work it comes up with "Unkown error the file maybe be damaged etc etc " after trying to compile but if I change to the default skin or another one it works fine.

To much memory usage on the skin to compile maybe ? I dont really know but I can repeat it over and over upgradeing from 573 to 574 Ive tested it like 6 times now

Thats very interesting.... maybe the reason why a lot of people cant update (or have problems to it)... Maybe unleashx should change to the default skin before downloading the update, applying the update then re-applying the skin that was originally loaded.

Boy what was I thinking? Do you think it's better to revert it back? I don't like it but I think I have to.

Metallic Atmosphere is correct (for that version) as I intended it to be left aligned horizontally and vertically centered.

The separator thingy is gonna be tough as it is one concatenated string, not drawn individually. For that to work, I would need to implement color coding in text items.

As for the live update, i'll see what else can be done. I an try to stop music, videos...etc, but that would be the last option.

Yes best to revert back to maintain all the backwards compatability ot the skin remember though it was center vertically and horizontly

Ah well don't bother unless you got lots of free time going

Build 575 WIP is out. Very minor update.

hehe yeah minor update with the nice feature I requested thank you now to go use it


Hrmm can we please a a option to turn it off as well as set it maybe in my blackbox skin I deliberately made the icon cover the info text so you can only see it when there was no icon see image the new option kind of stuffs up the skin

hehe sweeettt it works nice work unleashX

I changed the original images in the post I came up with a better idea

I didnt have to change to the default skin to apply this update (using PM3 Mark3 Stats) and everything was fine.

I had a friend ask if it were possible to browse the music collection without actually changing the song. Might be another thing you can add to this great dash.

On a side note, it's funny that the only 2 people who are posting here about the WIP are Aussies, where the 360 hasnt come out yet... But none the less, i still like seeing development on this dash.

Cheers,
Stuart

hrmm I didn't actually try it since he said it was only minor update

It is kind of possible to do so with the "manage tracks" and "edit" you get when pressing start button in the music manager. But yeah its not really a full browser sort ot thing to select stuff

Yeah I got to say this default Icon always showing thing is really bugging me from a skin point of view
can we please get an option to turn it off maybe on a skin level as well as a settings level even like soAnd skin.xml always overrides settings

example 2 (example 1 was on the page before)

hmmm...

ok, just a thought, if its not too much trouble, adding to the implementation of drivespace info...in adding a combined total of free space in percentage for the partitions C,E,F,G,X,Y,Z, to show freespace of the hdd...

(and i would love to be a part of the beta testing process for the WIP's, though i dont have a lot of free time, if your looking for another tester who can come back from any mistake and then recreate the mistake only to throw his xbox across the room and fix it just to make the same mistake again, im your man )

keep up the good work

I seems like an Ok idea but really whats the point of it ? it could say you still have 20% free and you try to copy something to f: and its full. Just seems a little pointless when people will always have some free space on c,x,y,z and probbaly e as well

i was thinkin about that myself...but then at the same time, i like lookin up and seeing how much of my hdd ive used...yhea 99% of people wont have a use for it...nothin that needs to be there, just an idea (ive always been one for useless little things though (impulse shopper of sorts))

For those that are playing at home...

I found a bug with the display of the hdd space. The C partition freespace is being displayed ok, the freespace is shown ok, but the total space for the partition. See the pics below.

Under the settings menu:


Under the system info:


And also, i vaguely remember this being noted before, the highlighted bit where it says Dash Version twice.

Thank you. I was wanting to see that.

Yep I got all 3 of those

BUG
Once you get past adding 11 custom sountrack folders any folder after that will have \ listed as its title name ie: from 12th folder on.. I eeven ftped over the info.xml file fixed it and stuck it back and all though the info displayed correct in the text items the "Manage Soundtracks" options listed every folder as \ after the 11th one

Just an update:

I removed the default icon now. seems pretty unpopular

The bugs posted by sr_sparky has already been fixed too.

Jezz_X, I have more than 12 albums, but I'll check this one out. What's your folder structure? Just one root and everything else immediately?

Its like this
f:\Music\album1
f:\Music\album2
f:\Music\album3
f:\Music\album4
f:\Music\album5
with unleashX set to go to f:\music to look
Oh and they all have cover art now so maybe thats it
Also I slowly added them 1 by 1 instead of having all the albums there on start
I will delete the info.xml and see if it still does it

Ok Folder structure looks like this
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a273/Jez...xbox/music1.jpg

and in the manage tracks I get (the top 4 are ms dash soundtracks)
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a273/Jez...xbox/music2.jpg

The last two albums I added were

Nickelback All The Right Reasons
Green Day - Bullet In A Bible - 2005

and there the two that wont list properly I added Nickelback first and thats when it started
I even just tried deleteing the info.xml and I got the same thing with the same albums again

Ok I figured it out It that the folder names are too long and unleashX is stuffing up reading/storeing them try renameing one to somthing long and then delete the info.xml and reboot you should see it

Oh and while I'm at it a USB keyboard dosn't work properly in the music track rename

WIP Build 577 is out.

You may experience lock up after getting the update and rebooting to validate the update file. If this happens, reboot your xbox and open file explorer browse to where the dash is. Another xbe should exist in the same location. You can test this xbe and rename it afterwards.

All reported bugs should be fixed in this build.

I got lockup on reboot after building and no matter what I do I can't run the new version at all my xbox just locks up
I'm trying to run the UXUpdate.xbe file that got created

Same thing here to. I even deleted the config.xml file and it doesnt create a new one. Also, in the Z partition, it has s debug.txt (which i am pretty sure is for ux) and it has {0} {1} {2} {3} in it.

I tried loading it with NTSC enabled, nothing.

I tried loading it with an older WIP of unleashx, still nothing.

For those who are testers, downgrade to build 570 (the current public build) and then update.

And again for those that are playing at home:

Had a problem with this. The last bit is munted... See the screen shots and the code from the info.xml (cut out so you can see the titles that have an issue).





Ignore the shifted title.. it would appear to be a problem with the mp3. Will investigate further tomorrow however.




Btw Jezz_X, you can see i changed your skin.xml to get rid of the menu buttons hope you don't mind.

Do what you want as long as people don't distribute it I couldn't care less

ANYWAY the mouse works I realize it only beta code but a couple things I notice for it is its always there, It really needs to hide after a little time of non use and maybe be hidden on start as well. Also I notice it works int he media player too which is great but you seem to have it working off the image dimensions in the xml not the actual image. In the image below you can see what I mean if I click on the transperant bits of the png image it still clicks it and int he skin below are lots of overlaps.
But on a whole the mouse works good


And yeah I get the same as sparky now for long song names the cut off bits get displayed as odd text in the labels

other than that the other things seem to work fine USB keyboard is real good now

Can you guys add the support of taking pictures by hitting a button like in XBMC? That'd be great.

You allready can how do you think we get the images we post here ?
click and hold the left thumbstick then press the black button at the same time
you will get a .bmp image in your z: drive

Hi !

Any fix for the G Drive free space problem (ng orange as free space in system info)??

If yes, which build?

Thank

Hey there UnleashX, just curious to know if you are able to test 720p?

I'm not sure if it's a Ulx problem or a fonts issue... I'll check it out and get back to you on it (should have my xbox going again tonight)

Tested out the ftp today. Worked perfectly with a couple of issues:

When using the auto-discover for other unleashx users, it isnt consistent in the search. Ie, it will discover some xboxs, then others, then a different set again... and it just takes a few times of switching between the local and remote thingo for it to pick up the one that you want... All xboxs were using the current WIP (577).

Also, i think this has been asked before:

When leaching from one xbox, can you determine the size of the files in the queue, then determine if the destinations have enough free space before attempting to copy it? That would really save some time when transferring large amounts of data.

Cheers.

yes, that whould be great! and pleeeeease implement these sizes in the transfer-window, so that one can see a second bar with the total amount of data, that gets transfered! that whould rock!

Any hope for expanded Qwix support? Boost mode in UnleashX is great, but it would be nice to get the other Qwix features supported too. Thanks for your work!

This is not the place to request features its for bug reports of the wip builds

Where can i get the full version of unleashx mines just like a simple version it dosnt have everything and well it dosnt update at all

a sample version ?
are you sure that you don't have the 572 build (newest public release) and are getting confused the the features in this 575 build?

also, you get it from the usual places

What is the UnleashX WIP?
Is there any difference with the normal dashboard?
If so, how can I obtain it?
And don't bullshit me

007 wip stands for work in progress and it is for developers and testers only (not a public release) and it has been a while since one came out so be patient like the rest of us and it will come.
