I compiled a version of this, but when I choose to go to the browser, I just get a black screen, I can press the start button and a menu comes up on the left, like whne you press start in the middle of a movie. But I can't do anything using the menu either

I've been trying to modify MC360 to work with this, and i've got everything, except the labels next to the sliders won't show up in the settings. Could anybody tell me what I need to fix? Here's the WebBrowserSettings.xml:

Code:

- BritneysPAIRS - 2007-09-08

you missing some of the language file eg string.xml


- timdog82001 - 2007-09-08

you mean the main XBMC strings.xml, right? I don't think that's the problem, because it works perfectly in PM3 and I just checked and it has the language strings there, even though they're not showing up in mc360


- timdog82001 - 2007-09-08

ok i finally figured it out, but thanks for your help


- shizzle - 2007-09-09

how do i compile linksbos to xbmc??


- Reab4 - 2007-09-10

You can but don't have to.
Google for "xbmc linksboks 09 08": XBMC - 2007 - 09 - 08 - rev. - 10171 incl LinksBoks.rar - Torrent
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=xbmc+linksboks+09+08&btnG=Search

There were releases on 09-01 and 09-03 I think.
I only looked at the 09-03 and found a bug where the menu would not load in linksboks.
I have the 09-08 and am seeding it (from 85.146.213.173) but still have to test if it works fine.
From previous (PIMPED) releases, one thing became clear to me as I'm running NTSC 1080i: the RAM resources seem a bit on the edge.


- CrazyIvan - 2007-09-10

Excellent! I've been looking to give the integrated Linksboks a whirl...


- Reab4 - 2007-09-11

Yesterday tried the 09 08 version.
The skin has a minor cosmetic problem with some buttons being in the shadow of the main menu.
Also the menu in the web browser doesn't open. This is due to the keymap though. I loaded an older keymap and it was probably the initial issue all along.
It seems to work fine under NTSC-720P but crashes due to RAM shortage under 1080i.

About the LinksBoks branch: Could somebody tell me if all the changes to the trunk are also applied to the LB branch? I wanted to have LinksBoks and recently added features, the python plugins for example. When are these merged (to the branch)?
Also I couldn't find a page describing why the LinksBoks branch will never find its way into trunk. I found some people mentioning this, and I suppose it's some kind of polititcal problem (Could someone explain this?). Isn't it possible to keep LinksBoks integration in the trunk, but have two different Makefiles or a Compiler flag to build with or without LinksBoks?
I'm sorry to ask here, but I really honestly searched and read so many pages and I'm quite confused. I'd really love to have XBMC with LinksBoks and I'd surely be able to compile my own, but I'm not really sure which features I'd be missing using the other branch.
The binary releases with LinksBoks integration I tried were labeled 10171 for example, but didn't contain the python plugin folders. Isn't 10171 the trunk revision? Then why are these features missing?

http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbmc/branches/
Check the latest log entries on the linksbrowser branch looking like
"updated: linksbrowser: merged trunk rxxxx -> ryyyy"
Revision yyyy is the trunk revision the last linksbrowser is derived from

If you want a mort current version, once you have a working copy of the linksbrowser branch, in TortoiseSVN you use the "Merge" command to merge https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk from revision ryyyy to rzzzz (zzzz being the current revision of the trunk). You'll probably have files in a conflicted state which you'll have to fix by hand - most are trivial, some are not Smile

blaize Wrote:flash video isnt available.

but i've been reading about Gnash, and opensource flash video player.
maybe when/if they guys working on implementing linksboks could take a look at it and see if it's do-able to implement.
Gnash isnt finished, but the current beta is able to play youtube videos.

I took a look at gnash a while ago, and imho it has too heavy dependencies like glib, boost, libmad, not mentioning cairo/gtk... (and so on, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/manual/gnash.html#codedepend), the least thing XBMC needs is more library ports to xbox for a "niche" functionality.

Also the Cursor doesnt come up when clicking one of the sticks, Do u mind uploading that keymap.xml
