paul Wrote:but it all really boils down to what size and resolution of tv your using the bigger the more juice it needs ie memory as it will either have to upsample all your images or downsample them this is why everybody has a different experiance with running this skin.
I am trying to find more way's of squeezing more performance out of it but don't hold your breath and i find using multiplex view is the best for memory.
If you remember from matt11601 and his thread about memory leaks I had 2 different xbox's with same settings yet one ran with more memory unused than the other. I switched the Xbox that had more memory but the memory dropped to exactly what the previous Xbox had.
The one with more memory was on a 19 inch TV and the living room Xbox is on a 42 inch TV...other than that, settings wise, everything is the same on the two Xbox's.

shokka9 Wrote:Yeah Paul, another satisfied user (on the trusty old xbox). Runs great and love the support here from all users.How did you manage to to keep the transparency using irfanview? is it just a simple setting i may have missed any tips would be helpful ta v much
Hope this doesnt end.............
Oh...Irfanview is the best thing for batch resizing images, trust me..
PS...I have a nice collection of 960*540 backdrops for rap/hiphop/rnb peoples out there. If anyone wants i will upload. Building a nice collection of games too...

I switched the Xbox that had more memory but the memory dropped to exactly what the previous Xbox had.This confirms what i have thought for long enough now your poor over worked xbox will have to upsample all the backdrops to whatever your screen resolution is i am guessing it will be at least 1280x720. i am running it on a 28" 16/9 sd tv which i think is 480? and i have dropped all my back drops down to 480x270 and i am up to 35mb in home screen 25mb in tv shows screen and 20mb in movies all fanart switched on. so my thinking is your back drops would need to be sized as closely to your screen resolution as possible to avoid as little memory problems as possible in your case ? 1280x720 but my thinking may be well off does anyone know more about this?

Yea on the 19" TV I'm at:
33-35mb for home
22-24 for TV...backdrops on/fanart off
20-23 for Movies...backdrops on/fanart off
The TV is actually 37" with 1366x768 resolution. I'll mess around with different image sizes tommorow...
I just tested Rev.5 without backdrops/fanart on the 37" and instead of 13-14mb in movies I'm at 19mb so I think I found my problem....but as long I can play videos I'm not sweating little things like being able to fast forward.
Great work and thanks Paul!!

Take a look at your log file, it will tell you what resolution it's in. I'm on a SD 4:3 big screen and it's working fine however I'm going to try downsizing fanart some more as Paul mentioned to see if I can squeeze some more out of it.
On a side note: Paul, don't stop, this is an awesome port of an awesome skin.

Interesting. This weekend I will install the new T3ch build and NOT configure backdrops and see what my memory is. If I understand correctly, not using any backdrops should improve memory usage, correct?

paul Wrote:Thanks hopefully all will be resolved in the next and possibly the last Revision seeing as i have been told by certain xbmc people that my skin is faulty and no good for xbox therfore no support so in future if you have a problem with xbmc don't say your using this skin otherwise they won't help you as somebody else on here is just finding out
Huh, i totally missed that discussion then... Though i can hardly imagine why people wanna do that. Maybe some guys are pointing fingers in the wrong direction?!?
But please keep up the good work! When Stark was announced i certainly had doubts if this skin will ever make it to the xbox... but you made it possible, thanks!
BTW: if anything needs to be tested or you need more info about my config, let me know. I'd be glad if i can help out in any way.

Is this the skin? Aeon auriga (FR-fr) this is the one I can see in installer passion skins.
paul Wrote:Well forgive me for saying this but considering i have posted in the Aeon Subforum and the Name of the thread is Aeon Auriga unofficial 'Lite' version for the Xbox so my advice would be read the whole thread please or at least read the first post. So the answer is AEON_AURIGA
BTW I didnt know Aeon auriga was a skin. I told you i was a n00b in previous post.
