Hi I initially had a problem with the latest downloadable build in particular with the xbmc scripts. I thought i'd download the latest svn 957 and install it. I compiled the build without any errors. I deleted the original folder MC360. FTPéd the 957 build.
then changed appereances and noticed all the text is gone. I do see the arrows to change the options but no text at all anymore.

You either didn't copy over the colors folder or your xbmc to way out of date

I am running xbmc pre 2.1 from january, Have to admit havent been looking for a new one for some time.
tech release. Which rev should I have?

colors folder is there.

Mc360 1.3 is running without problems

You're right as always ;-)
Updated xbmc and now no problems
