w00t must go home asap.

Whoa, you're really fast with your releases...

But I've got a question: The APOD is downloaded to drives Y and Z but it never appears as screensaver in my Avalaunch.

avalaunch.xml looks like this:

CODE

<apod enabled="1"/>

Another thing I don't understand: I flashed my BIOS to bring the LED up in orange. This works with all apps but avalaunch. Here I have a green LED, although it is set to orange in idlemode.

CODE

<led idle="orange" busy="red"/>

Any suggestions or solutions?

Enough complaints now . Keep up the great work!

thing is that we were first to make the LED changes, and we didn't really expect anyone to stuff it into bios'es. And we haven't really bothered to fix it yet =)

K, that explains this weird behaviour. And it's not a major problem, I think I can live without an orange LED in avalaunch

But the APOD would still be interesting for me, donthave a clue why it doesnt work. Newsreader and SNTP work just fine, so it has to be problem with the coding?!?

Nice to see the dash being updated so quickly. I'm especially looking forward to test a new harddrive with the new G drive.

I'm experiencing lockups with this latest version, though. Anyone experiencing the same problems? I'm using an Xbox v1.0 with an Xecuter 4977 BIOS. Avalaunch is stored on the C drive and the xbe has been renamed to evoxdash.xbe. After a minute or so it will just lockup while I'm in the dash.

I have the same problem

i'm using the Xecuter 4977 bios also on a v1.0 xbox and after a short time i have a lockup

otherwise great dash !

hi there,

the rss stuff isnt really working in this version, at least for me. when rss is enabled ava freezes as soon as the dash is loaded. in the last version everything worked fine and i'm using the same network configs. ive tried allready removing 2 feeds, but it still freezes
i have to disable the rss feeds completely to make my ava work...

why is this happening ? i had no problems with the xbox-scene rss feeds on 047.2

same setup and problem

it seems to be a problem with the dns servers.

change them to 0.0.0.0 and you wont get lockups anymore.

very strange.

it sux too cuz no rss, irc, APOD

Will you guys be re-adding long file name support anytime soon? That was some cool stuff.

thanks for the update. in my opionion avalaunch is the best xbox dash atm. i have still installed 0.47.1, it runs pretty good for me (except IRC not working, which i don't use anyway) and sometimes buggish ftp-support (using flashfxp as a client). is the update to 0.47.3 recommended (stupid question, i know)?

Same here. After lots of reboots, I am quiete sure it is the newsflash entry. No problems when disabled, i.e. set to "0".

OTOH, I also get lockups when trying to activate proxy (over local squid on a debian linux) and asking for newest version in settings.

Some problems with network code?

i still get lockups after disabling rss.

try disabling other stuff like background music too

yes , the newsflash hangs it.... , I disabled it and everything were fine

It's all working perfectly fine for me on a v1.1 Xbox with X2 4977.

My T2: Extreme Edition no longer causes it to freeze up now! Whatever you guys did, thankyou!

Keep up the excellent work Team Ava!

I used the 'Update Dashboard' feature on the Settings page, went from .2 to .3 fine.
FTP commands seem to work too, plus my IRC and general network connection is still working ;]

n1 fellas

expect a more working .4 real soon =)

Real soon as in wait for it or should we move from .2 to .3 now?

I'm in no rush, love Ava as is just curious if I should update or wait since there seems to be a few issues with the news feed causing lockups.

im sure everyone probably keeps askin this but how is the work on hdd defragmentation comming on joker?

Nice! Happy to report that the built in update worked fine without killing my .xml settings, (i did have to add them manually later.. the news feed and pal/ntsc switching stuff)
No problemos or lockups here

xbox v1.0
TSOP flashed w. x2 4978
