XboxMediaCenter CVS build of April 12th 2006 compiled by T3CH.
This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.
Special Note From T3CH:
QUOTE
* Since XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment, I've decided to make more than one BUILD per week.
If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see
http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...SubmitBugReport* Last build was a bit of a failure, cvs isnt always very stable. My apologies! This build should be better.
Here is the FULL changelog since the
April 10th 2006 build (last one posted on
xbins/xbox-scene):
QUOTE
- 12-04-2006 fixed: Controller thumbsticks could register left or right after first pushing up or down when the stick was rotated.
- 12-04-2006 fixed: Control.HasFocus and ButtonScroller.HasIcon had restricted ID ranges.
- 12-04-2006 fixed: Zoom animation couldn't assign different zoom amounts to x and y directions.
- 12-04-2006 changed: filenames from local harddrive are converted to UTF-8 as bioses like the Evox M8 Plus can support GBK charset
This hopefully fixes parts of sf bug: [ 1456741 ] New Language Set Case some Unicode GUI Display Error
- 12-04-2006 changed: content of zip archives is converted from user charset to UTF-8 now
- 12-04-2006 fixed: [ 1467762 ] Incorrect flash type shown on TSOP flashed boxes
- 12-04-2006 fixed: redundant vis empty albumart update.
- 12-04-2006 fixed: ttf font's wouldn't show up in subtitle font selection.
- 11-04-2006 fixed: hopefully all issues caused by the extension handling and code cleanup [10-04-2006] should have been fixed
- 11-04-2006 changed: albumart passes c_str to visualistion instead of string object
- 11-04-2006 fixed: ccx/xbmsp shares
- 11-04-2006 fixed: MyPrograms contextmenu wouldn't display launch options for xbe's
- 11-04-2006 fixed: [ 1467935 ] Unnecessary logging of ERROR: unable to load Startup.xml
- 10-04-2006 fixed: files/directories with url encoding strings such as %20 in them would fail to work over smb
NOTEWORTHY, XML and SCRIPT CHANGES IN THIS BUILD
QUOTE
- CCX/XBMSP + Trainers fixed
- Keymap.xml: no changes
- XboxMediaCenter.xml: no changes
Install notes from T3CH readme/nfo:
QUOTE
* DASHBOARD INSTALL
Thanks to a new app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now extremely easy...
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking & transfer contents of XBMC folder TO (this is VERY important) "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<RENAME_ME.xbe>> to something your bios can boot (see
http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...BMCAsDash#h44-2 or read your BIOS README) and transfer to your C partition. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you won't need to worry about this file on C.
* APPLICATION INSTALL
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking.
Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder.
* 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 savegame/settings (from E:/TDATA/0face008)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in XBMC/Albums/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!
The XBMC manual is available on The XboxMediaCenter manual has also been updated with information about the trainer feature, check it out on
manual.xboxmediacenter.de.
You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from
http://allxboxskins.com,
http://www.xbox-skins.net and
http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

Thanks a lot. I just updated XBMC to your previous build today and found that trainers weren't working. I was hoping you would be doing a new release soon since I didn't want to downgrade. So, thanks for the quick build.

That's funny, I checked XBOX-Scene to see if a new T3CH build was out. It had no listing, so I checked the XBMC FTP and sure enough a new build was out. So I downloaded it and was updating to the new build and sure enough 10 minutes later I checked here and it showed a new build was out on the main page.
But the 2 issues with it not automaticly reading the Games/Emulators/Apps and Trainers is fixed. The only thing I don't like is if you have Kai enabled you can't use trainers.... but I don't see why it couldn't simply tell where the game is being launched from...
Below is what I posted on the XBMC suggestions forum.
I was actually thinking something simple. You can't setup a kai game from under the Games/Emulators/Programs section. The only why to play a kai game is to go into the Kai section, select the game to join, then the 'play' button to launch the game. Why can't XBMC simply tell where the game if being launched from. When you click 'play' under kai, why can't it just disable any trainers for that game then launch it. Then just allow trainers everywhere else, like the Games/Emulators/Program sections. This way you don't have to keep turning kai on and off.

The temperatures may not be correctly calibrated. But it is now actualy using a temperature sensor for the CPU, it wasn't doign that before, it was simply using the gpu temp for the cpu.. How is your selfinstalled thermometer getting the temperature?
and some temp diffs at different temperatures would be good for calibration.

Apr 13 2006, 01:10 PM
Did some testing befor this went into cvs with a 1.1 and one 1.6 xbox
After +5 hours on i checked and both reported ~ the same temp (55 and 53 if i remeber right).
As said, befor this the cpu temp was not even close to right....

ya thats not true at all .. you can enter a kai arena in xbmc and than back out and go to my programs, launch the game and play system link .. you DO NOT have to hit PLAY to use kai .. you can shut off your xbox and load a disc and it will still work on kai , the engine is running on your pc, xbmc is a UI, think of it as a dumb terminal ..
think about it , you don't even need XBMC to use kai so how can the PLAY button be the "only why to play a kai game" (quoted from above, spellin and all :] ) ..
having said that , i think the way it is now is fine :]
nice build.
AmyGrrl
Apr 13 2006, 04:43 PM
yes, I know their are other ways to play on kai.. standard methoed, launch game and have the engine and ui run on the pc...... with XBMC the ui runs within XBMC and the engine runs on the pc... I should have specified that I meant the 2nd metheod. If I really wanted to cheat I could use the 1st methoed... launch a game with a trainer.. and then have it connect to the ui/engine running on the pc.... but if I'm not mistaken.... most if not all trainers have some code that makes them not function during multiplayer.... so it seems like they would need to do more to play it work the way I want. They would need to set it so that Kai can only be played from the kai section... if you launch a game from anywhere else kai would be disabled before launching the game... and then have it so that when you launch a game from the kai section any trainers for that game would be disabled... and only allow trainers to be used under the Games/Emulators/Program/My Files sections... and kai support would be disabled when launching an program from those sections....

No 2.0.0 isnt close, reason so little fixes is because there's just 2 days between builds, nothing else.

I can understand Pike's point of view. Think of it from his side. It's only been two days since the last test built by T3CH was compiled.
Whats more, this is a voluntary project where people like Pike have roles as Project Managers. Do you know how much it costs to hire an experienced project manager in commercial projects? When you download and install XBMX think of all the functionality your getting for free. It's not hard to interpret your comments and demanding.
If you want to see XBMC get to the next point release as quickly as possible, my advice to you is what are you doing to contribute to that outcome? What properly formatted bug reports have you done on sourcefore to assist the developers track down the remaining errors? If you put time into that area you would be helping them - and helping yourself get it earlier.

In the 4-10 build, as soon as I start a video, I cannot access the on screen menu, or do any commands like ff, stop, pause, basically nothing for the first 5-10 seconds. Is this problem still in the 4-12 build?

/nod! I agree. Pike can seem a bit abbrassive at first, but once you've seen all the bitching and moaning he puts up with about a wonderful product that is done for FREE, you begin to understand why the fuse is so short. It is (for the most part) a very thankless job.

My first bug report. Anyway, not sure if this is a bug in XBMC or the PM3 skin, either way, hopefully it can be easily fixed and also not cause a problem for MC360.
Running latest T3CH build (as topic) and this is what I did to notice the bug:
I edited the XboxMediaCenter.xml file (only two minor changes) to have 2 folder depth for the programs section under applications (which works fine) and to have an extra tab in applications (which makes the bug appear). Anyway, this is what it does, if you have animations on you know how the left hand side with the options appears onto the screen when you select applications from the main page, well the bottom option (in this case DVD-Game as I added my extra option higher up) doesn't come on to the screen by the animation the others do, it is just there (would be much easier to see what I mean if you recreate it), anyway it is selectable as it should be and if you back out of applications it is animated on leaving the screen, just when it appears on the screen the animation doesn't work correctly. I hope this is enough information, if not I can upload my XboxMediaCenter.xml file.

1080i works fine locally with vids on the Xbox, but as soon as I try to play a video from a shared folder, nothing happens. Changing down to 720p/480p etc works perfectly.

Hi there!
I always use the latest build and usualy I detect all bugs that are anounced here (at least the majority), but this one... I haven't yet! I used xlink yesterday for the first time with this build (I always put xbmc in a new folder and copy my custom xml's there) and started configuring xlink kai. Nothing wrong. Only some kind of "detect servers/don't detect servers" (forgive my bad english) in PGR2, inside the game. Can't be sure if "server" is the write word.
So, can you be more specific?
