um, they are separated. those are in the themes section, which are all xprs. did you mean to separate them into a different button/script on the marketplace?

P.S.. fixed the alex grey gallery. thanks for pointing it out. i don't do all the uploads, but i'll keep doing content checking in my spare time.

Like where your going with it.. the whole email thing and all.. but hell just get gmail and use rss mail feeds..

Some dude PM'd me about this so i'll stick it up, I have only tested this on 720p.. the other res's might need a bit of work..







just had 2 block out da ole details u know..

Heres a link to download the whole thing
Mc360 with MkPlace + yahoo maill

I want to use this one with yahoo mail but i have a quick questions:

Is there a mail versions for MSN?

I have a yahoo account but rarely use it as a matter of fact i dont even think it's active anymore lol

Thanx in advance!

LGC

very nice addon dfmos, the marketplace is impoving every day good work

nice job dfmos, but why does it have those blacked out lines?

i'd add it, but too much configuration for some and like someone mentioned, you have to change it for different pop accounts. you know what though? this might warrant its own topic and you might want to give a small tutorial too. (how to mod my mod )

The black lines are to protect personal/sensitive information. He censored his mail.

Yea thats right it just so happened that the only emails i had where passwords and accounts stufff,..

As for this mod i'm no expert i was kinda seing if there was an interest around for a really email type script..
that maybe someone would see my efforts and then actually what to make a much better version..
I hope so!.... As for an Msn account - dude im not sure but someone could probable compile one seriously good email script if they put there minds to it,... i only done that 1 last night just 2 see what i could do,. Peace dudes!

I hope someone feel's inspired?

Ahhh cheers manturaf now i look aain the Themes are labeled as themes

Its just BB has already said that in the long run the XPRs that are being produced just now will be pointless. Most of the XPR's i have seen are just wallpaper packs packaged differently.

I really think that choosing wallpapers will become as easy as selecting sound packs and themes in the long run.

thats a nice mod.... i'll use it on a daily basis

the wink was for knowing it was personal information haha.

as for your script, are you using xbmcmail? or is this a different script?

also, audi, i'm not sure if textures.xprs are completely out. i think the in the future those will be released which will only blades to be edited. for now, you're right, wallpapers are better, but in the future textures could replace wallpapers since it edits the blades as well.

This is a good mod. Good going main that is really sweet

All drawbacks aside, I still love the idea of the xpr packs because they allow you to change the themes right on the appearance tab. The intergration of the wallpaper packs is nice, BUT, you still have to go to System -> Appearance -> Themes and select just the blade theme? Then go back to the Guide and through 5 more screens and locate the folder your themes are in, hope they're named properly. Nevermind digging through the folders for a novice user etc. Then you still have to back out of all of the settings options to see how everything looks. I can't possibly be the only one that thinks selecting the Theme from the Appearance tab is MUCH easier. AND you can still use custom images on individual blades if you like.

I'm not at all knocking the efforts of Team BB in incorporating the wallpaper management, but I still think it has some serious drawbacks when compared to the xpr method. I know that XBMCTex is compiled with the xdk, but that issue is being worked on as well. Guess I just feel the downloading and installing of one xpr file can be made FAR more user friendly than trying to determine a "default" download or theme directory etc.

Even if Team BB wanted to keep the xpr files locked, why not release the skin itself in Skin packs, I.E. MC360, MC360 Glass, MC360 Carbon. Then allow the setting of the themed xpr files? There wouldn't be any additional work required on the part of the skin, other than using the Carbon/Glass images in the default Textures.xpr file. The rest of the skin would remain intact, so there would be no need to code multiple versions and would allow the Team to maintain their intellectual property and not have their Carbon/Glass xpr files exposed.

I dunno, I'm rambling on because maybe I'm missing something. I don't understand how it could be easier for the Team to completely code a wallpaper manager from scratch, rather than just explain how to properly set up the xpr files for easy distrobution. Oh, and on that note, if someone feels that distributing xpr files is not legal because they are created with XBMCTex, which is compiled with the xdk, then how come the skin itself is freely available for download?
</rant>

I really like the idea of the Marketplace and think you guys are doing a great job so far. I'm just not ready to give up completely on the idea of selecting my themes or packs from the appearance tab, rather than going 10 steps to travel 2. If the xpr method fails miserably, oh well, but if it finally becomes a viable option, I think the automated downloading and installing of themes will be made far easier for developers and end users alike.

for the people that already download the market place i made a mod script to browse and see a preview of the theme before you download , i hope you like it

I posted some suggestions in another thread but I'd like to post them here as well...
Here's my suggestions of some Scripts that should be built into "XBMC live marketplace"

First would be to copy what TiVo and TiVo Online Services can do.
That's:
Include a TV Guide and recording interface for your TiVo
Yahoo! Photos = My Photo's Online
Yahoo! Weather = XBMC already has it built in!
Yahoo! Traffic = View Traffic for specific locations
Live365 Radio Network = Listen to Radio Online
Fandango = Movie Listings and Trailer Previews
Podcasts = Listen or watch podcasts

All of which would be great to have on XBMC.

Some other ideas I have are integrating the Ooba Script into the "XBMC live marketplace" because it's compatible with so many "Viral Media" websites and another one is a lyric script for your music.

Some other new ideas would be to have Pandora.com, Orb.com and a chat (i.e. MSN or AIM) client

I think these are the top Scripts people would LOVE to have included with "XBMC live marketplace" on top of a trainer download script, maps (Memesis3) download, and a emulator launcher.

most of those items you listed are availabe through xbmcscripts.com or the script downloads option in live marketplace. you just need to download them and access them via scripts.

TV Guide = myTV (can't record because there is no tv input)
Radio = kmlbrowser, etc
movie listings = xmovieguide (if i remember right though, it's outdated)
podcasts = xpodder and xbox podcast
lyrics = xbmclyrics
the other scripts are great ideas and you should post them in the xbmc python scripting forum.

as for marketplace specific, i've thought about ooba and mimesis, and ooba still has a chance. mimesis doesn't have a chance because it's made with XDK. that was my original idea until i found that out. as for trainers, working on it, but the site i'm working with hasn't responded to my emails and not really sure if i want to add a trainer section to my website. an emulator launcher is sweet and i've been following that, but to me, that would be in xbox arcade.

live marketplace is similar to xbox live where you can get content for your xbox, not necessarily stream or anything related to internet. that's more scripts. i do like your ideas though and would personally love up to date traffic.


and in case you are curious, i will be shooting out an update sometime soon to fix some bugs and give a little extra

manturafs,
Thanks for the compliment.
To most people, python scripts is an unknown feature, thus they lack the attention they need to keep them up to date. I suggested those scripts in hopes they come as default in "XBMC live content".

If MC 360 is the new default skin and "XBMC live" gets integrated into it, then at least they will get the attention they need to keep them up to date and become easier to manage.


And also if you haven't read the suggestions thread, I had another one regarding Background downloading.

A "Download Manager" Script that works in the background in conjunction with the media scripts (i.e. GameTrailers, Movie Trailers, Possibly even the Gaves Saves script). So it queues your downloads rather than having you wait one at a time as you select the media you want to see/download.

Here's to my suggestions becoming a reality on "XBMC live content"!

TiOem I have to disagree also. I see Xbmc Live as a place to get more stuff for XBMC, not as a place to make running 3rd party scripts launch.

It would get some more exposure to them, however honestly you must consider the fact then every release those scripts would have to be bundled with the new XBMC, also what if the script updates the day after a T3Ch release, should they immediately release another.. etc.. etc...

If you add too many things it just clutters the simple interface that people enjoy from XBMC. If someone really likes scripts then they will probably go to the lengths you are talking about for making quick launch items for each script etc... however only really hardcore users I think would do such a thing, for most people it is too much.

Oen386,
From the looks of it, I agree that putting lot of those into one window would clutter the interface (that can be fixed), but step back and look at "XBMC live content" for a minute...

First, most of it is customizations (we can put all those into a "customize" window to unclutter the space)

Second its already is a place to make running 3rd party scripts launch..
each and everyone of those buttons is a script, ("XBMC live content"/MC360 update, Themes/Wallpapers, Movie Trailers, etc)
each of which needs to be maintained individually...

Because of that, "XBMC live content" will probably never be bundled with XBMC...but I see it as a downloadable bundle. (Making it a upgrade button leaves less worries for the Blackbolt Team to have to maintain the Live Blade, "JOIN XBMC LIVE" button could appear where "Live Content" button would be once downloaded and updated)

Xbox live is a portal to your online services...its what MS wants the word "LIVE" to mean. I'm merely defining what online services we could bundle to help define LIVE that Xbox LIVE has not. Thus the example of what TiVo Online Services offers...including a few most popular scripts that XBMC user want added on....narrows down what every user would use in front of the TV

To prepare for the upcoming release/update to the marketplace, i've added more categories to the website for content uploading. just be smart about how you format the items. the only one that really needs special packaging is splash sound. that needs to be one file named start.wav and zipped without a folder. i'll be adding these categories to the marketplace so that people have more content to download.

start uploading at www.tintense.com

Will someone work on the 480i version of this please? I should probably get a HDTV Xbox pack, so I can use my Xbox in HD...

you want a 480i version of the mail script or of the marketplace? if it's the marketplace, it should automatically scale for your screen

as for the upcoming updates, pretty much done with the coding. just have to write one major script and debug. should have a release tomorrow or the day after, unless there is an mc360 release.

The mail script. I should be getting the HD Xbox cables soon, but until then, the script won't look right on my TV. It is all bunched up.

Can't wait for the release!

You did a great work man, but I was wondering why didn't you just register a xbmclive.com domain instead of that offtopic name?

thanks! the new update is pretty much ready. i will definitely release it tomorrow unless some release comes out from MC360. but then it should only be a day delay. i'm just going to upload more content before I upload the update and final testing with those new files. there's pros and cons to the next release but the key is to be patient.

as for your question Cr4z33. good question! it's not my domain but the name and space was donated by Azin, a fellow scene member, who owned it before. definitely thank him for the space. i guess we could get xbmclive, but just too lazy. haha.

Nice one...

I finally managed to get my wireless game adapter working so now net and ftp are available to XBox and this was the first thing I put on.

All right guys. Sorry to keep you all waiting, but hopefully I worked out all the bugs. Be wary though, everything still takes time to load and install. Sorry about that. Anyway, on to the new release. Here are the changes:




I guess the big things to note are game trailers, featured downloads, previews, themed backgrounds, no more account management, and more categories overall. Lots of stuff, but only if you keep uploading content you find or create on www.tintense.com. If the features list isn't enough to convince you, here are the screenshots:



Hope you all enjoy!

looking good Manturafs, Iv'e uploaded a Final Fantasy sound pack, and started the ball rolling with a matching splash sound.

However I can't seem to connect through my xbox, either with the old or new mod, so I can't verify the files are all OK (I'm especially intrigued to see if the splash sound installs automatically).

If someone downloads both and they're working alright can they let me know because I won't get a chance to try again until tomorrow night.

Keep up the good work.

i actually can´t open any py in the mod dude
you know what happen?
are you change the xml or rss path?

or where i can download your update i can find if any way

i think what is the problem i already download the update from thge rss.php that you have , i have to tell you you did a exelent work this time congratz, but i still cant run any py in your update and i guess is cuz you have rss.php , why you dont change to rss.html , i can open the other script to a diferent path but not yours , try making a copy and name it rss.html

or if you have another way will be great
one more time congrats you did a exelent work

i actually dont like to change the mc360 logo for one yours that make all the themes useless to my point of view

warlion, the py's don't work? you might have to wait a little bit. unlike the xbmcskins, you have to wait for them to load. or do you mean getting other scripts to work? as for the xbmc splash, i think you're right and i might get rid of that section and send out an update without that modded. ANOTHER OPTION is to have label the graphic both mc360_logo.png and xbmc_logo.png in your xpr. i believe if the graphic is in the xpr, it will always override a similarly named graphic in the media folder. that might be a good default for theme designers that throw in their own xbmc logo.

and mazola, as for the splash sound, i don't think it will automatically work actually unless you hear a splash sound now. xbmc disables the sound in all their releases unless you edit the xml. i didn't add it back in because i wasn't sure if everyone wanted the sound back. but if you want, i can work on getting that on for you. it will install to the right location, but whether the sound will play depends on your setting. i'll try downloading it tomorrow.

Why don't you put a progress dialog in init. This is from geticons.py.



By the way I'm getting parsing errors trying your scripts. I'm not using the newest version though.

not well formed (invalid token) line 35, column 849.

try it now. i htink something was causing it to parse wrong, but it should all work now.

as for the dialog script, is that a progress bar for the loading time? if so, that's sweet. so i just put that into geticons.py that i have? coool. i'll try to integrate it.

manturafs i see in your getupdate.py a little problem no background


i already fix that, to this one



i olnly add some images and fix the location of some labels, this one will put the background that your theme and change depend of your theme

if some one like to download this script
download getupdate.py

i mode this fast and i forget to put the labels to the buttom

is that the old getupgrade script? or did you find that in the new release? i took it out because it won't overwrite the xbmc files automatically. i think it's the same reason why mc360 hasn't released an autoupgrade feature as well.

btw, do the scripts work for you?

i have 5 xbmc in my xbox and i install a new vercion with this update actually, is a complete new xbmc and mc360 with your complete update,
i try in the afternoon with no work thats why i asking you before,
now is workin so good your scripts congras you did a exelent work
i saw you new update i still cant understand why is calling getupdate.py i´m so confuse


and yes the script is workin fine with all the rest of the update only acouint manager is callin a dferent script , idont understand , mmmmmmmmmm i make a new instalation

btw. i forget to tell tou the instalation of your update i made it via ftp no throw the xbox

The script works now, thanks. This is a nice mod.

about the dialog, yes it's just a progress dialog. The progress bar only updates with "dialog.update(percent done)" calls. So maybe you could find a better place to put it.

At least it would tell someone if the script is running or has errored.

Yes manturafs this is the original xbmcmail.py only I have changed a few small things thats all...

Since "timo1023" requested the script again, with the 480ntsc res set up... Here it is

MC360 with yahoo mail v2 - megaupload
MC360 with yahoo mail v2 - rapidshare

Regarding Splash/Start up sound

I've managed to get it working by adding the following bold text to sounds.xml and placing the start.wav in the same sound pack folder

<windows>
<window>
<name>infodialog</name>
<activate>notify.wav</activate>
<deactivate>out.wav</deactivate>
</window>
<window>
<name>StartUp</name>
<deactivate>start.wav</deactivate>
</window>
</windows>

I'm not sure if theres a way to install a generic splash sound that will continue to work if you change the soundpack though.

If I create anymore sound packs in the future (I'm waiting for inspiration) I think I'll just add a start up sound in the pack itself.

yeah mazola. that will definitely work. as for creating a generic splash, let me take a look and i'll get back to you. i think for future releases, i might just combine the categories splash logo and media packs together since they have so little sub categories. keep up the good work and I hope you do get inspired for some more sound packs.

which file do you edit ? n/m its sound.xml

anyone know how to fix the black background? a picture was posted earlier but i havent seen a fix unless it was skipped over and i didnt see it, plus i am unable to download any of the updates i actually had to manually install it to get live on my box. .....

yeah, the update doesn't work because it won't overwrite the files. however what do you see a black background in? alla the new scripts should have a different background packaged with the installer. let me know and i can post a quick fix or new package. the only black background i know is if you use any of the old scripts, which includes the upgrade one. that is outdated and no longer a part of Marketplace.

This is awesome! thanks for the hard work!

been lurking for a long time but i needed to post that you did a great job on this... cant wait to see how it develops.

one thing though, i dont know if you missed it, but did you mean to leave the extras blade name as "extras" or did you just forget to change it to "xbmc live?" just wondering.

if you have exmark, it's meant to stay at extras to represent the main blade, similar to when you access gamesaves, the blade says games. just trying to keep it consistent.

as for developments, adding a progress loading screen so you guys know what it's loading and if it fails (instead of just waiting a long time and not knowing if it's working or not) all thanks to nuka. also if all things go well, might be able to add another feature and i'll consolidate two categories to make up for wasted space.

i was actually using livemark, kinda liked it better when it said xbmc live on the blade, hehe, looked that much closer to the real thing.

good job again, keep it up.

whoops. it should say xbmc live if you are using livemark. i'll have to fix that in the next release. thanks for pointing it out!

Hey manturafs... any thoughts on integrating a Mimesis v3 link or submenu to the Mod?

I realize that it would put some dependance on another 3rd party tool, but it would fit nicely with what you have going =)

or.. Ooo... an optional/customizable menu item that we could point at what ever convient app we have installed (dvd2xbox, mimesis)

I have done something like that. It is unfinished. I like to give thanks to every one in the Mod community for the efforts. Taking a little from here and there I was able to ad Mimesis to the marketplace where Game trainers was and some other little goodies. I also have a sub menu added. (A mod that can be found on the forum> BUMP) Which added the internet button, dashboards button, and yahoo mail button to it. I did not know if I should upload it because someone else probably would not want to do i the why I did it. But all what you have asked for is very possible.
