Yes.

Is it also possible to make this tool more flexible so users are given a option to download from e.g. http://sshcs.com/xbmc/ or http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/.

Now it is just http://xbmc.shadowprojects.net/kricker/

If they provide zipped builds you can use any url you want already. Look in the setup.

I added a new functionality to the latest build.
if you look in your app folder you'll see a file called source.xml

inside that file you can add your own source.

<SourceInfo SourceName="Kricker-OpenGL" Default="false">
<Url>http://xbmc.shadowprojects.net/gl/</Url>
<RegEx>(XBMC|xbmc)*?.{5,6}\d.*?.zip</RegEx>
</SourceInfo>

Url: The url of the page that contains the list of releases
RegEx: the regex to parse the url of the releases inside of that page.

They may provide zipped builds but since they don't provide direct links to the builds, there's no possibilities to use the updater with it.
(erf, it's hosted on a windows running IIS 7.0 :x)

I have asked sshcs.com to provide direct links.
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/ is a direct link, I guess. I just need to figure out the regex. Maybe I will check into the mirrors as well.

- Shadok - 2010-03-26

Here's the regex for xbmc nightlies :
<RegEx>xbmc\-r([0-9]*)\-trunk\.exe</RegEx>

(should work if only the build revision number is needed.

- Bulkzooi - 2010-03-26

Thanx man!

So this one can used for XBMC nightlies:

<SourceInfo SourceName="XBMC Nightlies" Default="false">
<Url>http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/</Url>
<RegEx>xbmc\-r([0-9]*)\-trunk\.exe</RegEx>
</SourceInfo>

Here is the sources.xml with above info added: http://www.mediafire.com/?bzmyzmemnnr

I just noticed it are .exe instead of .zip. Hopefully this is not a problem.

Do you guys think it's worth it to to provide all the mirrors as well?

I'm waiting for a reply from http://sshcs.com/xbmc/. Maybe he's willing to provide a direct download link (unless he's using Win& IIS7.0)

- Shadok - 2010-03-26

Direct link or not, it has nothind to do with using IIS or Apache.
It's just that i don't like IIS Smile

- Bulkzooi - 2010-03-26

Is it possible to have in sources.xml:
<Mirror></Mirror>

So it will be possible to add multiple mirrors as fallback without adding a long list to select in the GUI. Regex are the same for all mirrors.

It is a problem, otherwise I wouldn't even provide the zipped builds Wink

It was said before but I didn't realize it. I've asked sschs.com if it's possible to switch from .rar to .zip.

- kricker - 2010-03-26

A .rar build might worked. It just can't be the installer .exe. Just be careful. Installing any current svn builds right now will most likely cause you some problems. The devs are still working on the add-ons stuff right now. If you don't know how to backup and recover in case of problems (esp. your databases), you better just wait.

- Bulkzooi - 2010-03-26

Thnx. I'll wait with updating. One more question:

My normal platform is XBOX and I use T3CH Upgrader to upgrade my installation. Now I have installed a Windows version on my desktop to check if my setup will work with Windows so I can buy myself some new hardware. So this tool will be the most important one for me (maybe Addon Manager will change this).

I miss the feature Copy Data list.

So you can point out multiple files and dirs to copy from the old build to the new build. But I'm not into Windows enough. I'll have to check this out. Maybe it is easily possible or stored in profiles.

- kricker - 2010-03-26

The new builds are installed right over the new build. There is no need of a copy files list. The T3ch updater for xbox works differently, due to the different architecture.
