[RELEASE] Gamma-X (formerly called "Xbox Net Loader") Xbox game manager and launcher

that sounds great! have a folder called backup and in it a folder named by the date... i havent used the latest additions to this as yet but certainly wouldnt mind giving it a go in the very near future.

i'll get to all the questions and requests soon. i've been busy

Quote:+ added maxconsole.com trainers browser + downloader.
unfortunately many are in rar format which you will need to
extract manually.

mayby xbmc built in function is good enough

Quote:xbmc.extract - extracts a specified archive to an optionally specified path. ! requires absolute paths !

new version 0.9991b

main things of interest:
all image thumbnails should decode correctly.
maxconsole trainers will now un-rar.
as before you can set the extract path with the options button.

enjoy.

reset those garbled images)
+ smb browsing fix for some with problems - ie. 'error:not file'
message
+ error with titleids losing leading zeroes

affini:
all errors in the form of line x col x are xml parsing errors, which means the xml file has an error that needs correcting.
i'm not sure what is causing the lock-ups. can you give me more info, like when it happens, is it on all errors... anything
also having the script back-up xbmc is a good idea. i'll see if i can get around to it.

xescher,jeffmo:
try this new version and get back to me...

ruuk

the lockups happen with any/all errors, no matter it is was xml related or not. xbmc seems fine and i can do other things, but i cannot launch xbmc update at all until i reboot the xbox. i have even tried reloading the skin and loading other skins w/o a reboot... still does not work without a cold reboot.

you should try it... just add a random character in the xml to make it fail to load... then try to run xbmc update again.


also, what do you think about the backup 2 pc idea?

affini:
i think the backup idea is great. (i mentioned in my last post that i will work on it when i can)

i'm confused about your message. you say you can still do other things after a lock-up? if so i'm not sure what you mean by lock-up (i was assuming you meant that the xbox became non-responsive). i'll poke around some more though.

it is not really a "lock-up"... just the script no longer works until you reboot.

my best guess is that the script does not clean up (close all variables and exit) when an error occurs.

zip file from ruuk website is not rorrect for me. it extract not all the folders. i copied all folders with xbmc. now it works for me.

ruuk,
no matter what i try i now get this error...

file "q:\scripts\gamma-x\xbmcupdate.py", line 179, in get_xbmc
fetch = browsers.samba_file_fetcher(list=list,total_s=self.size,loc=self.browser.path,pb​ar=self.progress,source=source,settings=settings)

self.file = open(self.local_path,'wb')
ioerror: [errno 2] no such file or directory: 'e:\\apps\\xbmc\\error:not folder'

this is my current xml... xbmcupdate.xml

i have tried changing to proper case for the folder names and also placing the \ in front of the paths. same error no matter what.

this is what the path looks liek to my pc share when viewed from other pcs: \\office\xbmc\xbmc

maybe you can put in some more debugging code so we can better isolate the problem?

thanks,
aaron
