Xbox Friendly Texutres.xpr

OK i though i would open this thread as alot of use still use the xbox and the default MediaStream Textures.xpr isn't the most xbox friendly so here is my version of the textures.xpr.

For 720P or higher Rez

Pros
More memory 4mbs more on at least all menus max i have seen is 7mbs.
All Textures files sizes reduced and 207 textures resized by 50%.
Faster.
Can have all bells and whistles turned on.
Looks like the big brother version nothing different.

Cons
Doesn't look as sharp as the stock skin.
Version 2 has all 322 Textures channels set to 32k (8 bit/Channels) more memory but quality is the sacrifice.
Crashes maybe. ( only time it has for me is when playing a video and i tried to load BBC iPlayer plugin only happened once)

Download Xbox Friendly MediaStream Textures.xpr Default ( Best version. )

Download Xbox Friendly MediaStream Textures.xpr version 2

Team RazorFish Textures.xpr


Big thanks to Team RazorFish for a fantastic skin looks great on my XBox & PC.

update: Changed Image Hosting location as imageshack is crap now to Supload.com.

Wow nice!!! They look exactly the same to me

so I just overwrite the existing textures file....and then run the LITE theme? or do i just run default theme?

you just overwrite the the textures.xpr and remove the lite theme as this is no longer needed.

Nice one Rocky5, if users can post this is successful then I'll make it a sticky

What font are you running yours on Rocky? Its running good, the odd movie I run into mem problems (cant skip through it)

Also, is it possible to tear it down even more? Or is that the max you can lower the textures?

I can try more but some don't look right when resized.

video play back is recommended at 720p as 1080 stretches it and blurs it so you will get better quality with 720p 16.9 resolution like i have for videos also you use slightly more memory now i have a few 720x352 videos and i can skip through them and there higher rez than most not HD but better than SD so try changing your video display resolution as i can skip through all SD videos and TV shows fine.

yeah its the 1080i playback thats now giving me the issue on the odd movie.

I gotto get myself some Genuine HD Cables as the ones ive got now display white artifacts all over the screen @ 720p.

Many thanks for the textures.

Tried it on both of my Xboxes:
1st one connected to a TV with NTSC mode: works fine
2nd connected to a HD-Ready TV running in 720p: Episodes do not start.

Any chance to strip down the textures even more?

I read in anohter thread, that someone converted the bitrate of the images and it is working fine for him. Would that be an option?

Thanks for this. I have the skin working fairly well on my Xbox - but a few videos are slow to start.

One thing I noticed (with debug log on) is that while scrolling through the video library, the CPU gets really high - up to 95%! Surely this can't be right! What could it be doing?

Is this a bug? Is anyone else seeing this?

Edit: I just noticed that Rocky has the same high CPU usage in his screenshots above....
