XBOX Media Center *CVSBUILD* 2004-04-27
Xbox Media Center (XBMC)
-April 27 2004-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
I didn't go through the changelog since my last release... Way too much fixes!
Also included is a skin "MediaCenter.new" for those who, like me, got a
'small' TV and needs 620x526 skins... standard skins are off screen, so...
Same for Project Mayhem skin(.new)...
So this package includes 4 skins (Mediacenter, Mediacenter.new, Project Mayhem,
Project Mayhem.new) and the web and Python files, just in case you wanna play
with those, though I doubt you will... It's there anyway...
Not as if you weren't using broadband...
Oh, and all the codecs are there too.
See keymapping.txt for the default button mappings (edit keymap.xml to change
them).
See bugs.txt for currently known bugs and the todo list.
See at the bottom of this file for changelog.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation (as dashboard):
- Copy evoxdash.xbe and XboxMediaCenter.xml in C:\
- Edit XboxMediaCenter.xml parameter. Specify the location where you
want all the other files to reside; for example, F:\apps\XBMC\
- Copy all other files and folders to that location.
- Restart your Xbox.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration:
- To configure Stream Servers and other options, edit XboxMediaCenter.xml in
the XBMC directory (see examples below).
- XBMC now has built-in FTP (default account xbox/xbox) and HTTP servers.
Make sure to enable them in Settings -> General (requires restart).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Streaming:
- For SMB (Windows/SAMBA shares), use
smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@MyWindowsServerIP/movies
If you're in a WORKGROUP, just use smb://username:pwd@...
- Stream servers for various operating systems can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=87054
- For Relax, XBMS 0.30.6.2 / xBmsx and other XNS type stream servers, use
xns://ip:port/ or xns://ip:port/directory
(the $ROOT syntax from XBMP will not work)
- For ccXStream and other XBMSP type stream servers, use
xmbs://ip:port/ or xbms://ip:port/sharename
(see also http://dott.lir.dk/ccxgui/ if you want a GUI for ccxstream.exe)
