"Full settings reset" - does that mean deleting the user gui settings xml file? I've done that each time I FTP the new skin over (after backing it up). Is there something else I should do?



Woa now nelly! Complete reinstall? I'm not that brave as I have a softmod and don't want to go through all that again. I just know there is some little thing somewhere that I need to blow out - but I'm a newb and don't know where to go looking.

I really want to get your latest and greatest in action! Any other thoughts?

shokka9 Wrote:yeah bro, this is what i mean, on the older Aeon (& MediaStream), when i was going through my movies, and paused on it, the plot etc would appear..

now it doesnt, i seen this screen shot and i cant get mine to show up, i know i must have something not set right..(this image is not the one i seen), you get the idea tho. Hopefully



Not sure about the backdrops in movies either? Other than this is works fine...like it.

Thanks Paul..

Paul, does this mean we'll have a release from you with cf2009's original sub menus? This is the only thing that has stopped me from using rev3, I test it but don't use it.

Also, in another thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=325012&postcount=9) you thought about incorporating a multiplex footer in showcase view. This would be an awesome addition or option to your version.

Thanks for your hard work! Much appreciated!

Can't remember when, but I'm pretty sure there was a change in Library, and I had to rebuild mine. Also, if you've at some stage gone from a newer to older release, you're .xbe might be corrupted.

Cranial Wrote:Ask me why!!! ha.

I believe it's due to the all the media wrapped up in the Textures.xpr being compressed into a format that's native to the xbox, requiring much less cpu and mem usage when rendering the images.

Disclaimer: This is just my take on it, if I'm wrong I'm sure a dev will spot it and admonish me accordingly.

paul Wrote:If you want cf2009's submenu download these patch files and overwrite your exsisting ones for now but the next release i will give you all two 720 folders then you have a choice of submenus though you would have to rename the folders. any way download here

paul Wrote:Yeh i am still waiting for the guy to finish his mod. then i will add it to the skin assuming djh's code doesent change too much to stop it from working which is why i pulled cf's mods out of my last release cos it stopped working corectly with multiplex....what a bummer

paul Wrote:I think your right just for a laugh have you tried using xprexpress to compress your textures using the highest compression setting it runs really well but the problem is it looks blloody awfull try it youl see

Cranial Wrote:Oh I have tried it... The compression artefacts are so bad it appears you have used a bunch of random images generated from radio static.

mtnman Wrote:Yep - did this (textures.xpr only, complete overwrite of xbmc with latest T3CH build including user data and skin folders, restart, etc.). Now I didn't first delete XBMC and subfolders...just overwrote with the newest version. At one point I did go from a March build to a February build. Would a complete wipe of the xbmc folder be in order? I think that's what I'll start with next.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Here is my method to do a safe update of XBMC:

1. Install new version of XBMC in a NEW folder (ex: XBMC 2904 istead of XBMC)
2. COPY your userdata folder from XBMC to XBMC 2904 (if you suspect any problem with your personal settings, don't copy this folder and reconfigure manually + rescan library)
3. Copy scripts folder and plugin folder from XBMC to XBMC 2904
4. test everything you want by manualy starting default.xbe in XBMC 2904 folder
5. If everything is working correctly, you just have to rename XBMC folder to XBMC Old and XBMC 2904 to XBMC.
5a. You will not be allowed to rename XBMC folder while in XBMC => you need to launch an other dash and rename from there.

Hope this is clear and will help you.

paul Wrote:Theres the problem always delete all except for your userdata folder unless you have not updated in over a year as like cranial has said there was a change in the way xbmc handles the library. but i am sure you will get it working

jarod71 Wrote:I tried the latest revision of xbmc as well as the latest aeon form paul, It is smoother, but I still cannot open movies woththe dvd player (not mplayer), it drops to about 5mb and is not enough to open the movie. I really want to use this skin on xbox but I am afraid I will not be able to. Perhaps the Ex from Blackbolt will work. I will stick with PMIII for now. I have a lot of 720p xvid movies and I want to keep them. wish we could get a PMIII with some of the views Aeon has, as all skins Jezz X works on runn so well on xbox.

Keep up the good work Paul!, I will experiment with coverart and poster sizes over the weekend and see if I can achieve a proper balence to get this to play.

I am on a 480P edtv.

mtnman Wrote:Now why didn't I think of that!:o Thanks for waking me up...



Thanks again for the xbmc 101 stuff. I can't wait to go tinker later today and get this working!

paul Wrote:This is how it looks on mine and did you apply the updates?

paul Wrote:It does make a difference for xbox users and to be honest i did not think it would work.
But it does Aeon Auriga now runs like a hot knife through butter on my xbox thanks for the tip
