Are you running an up to date build of XBMC? If you are then I guess the changes needed to make it work haven't been ported from the main branch into the Xbox branch yet.

Either replace the folder or just copy the contents over the top of the previous version. Either should work

This release runs slower than your first one on my ATV. Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm running the official XBMC Babylon release and not the newest builds? (I just don't know how to get those newer builds). As you warned, none of the backgrounds appear, everything else seams to work fine.

I would love to use your skin as my default one but as deano72 already pointed out, for us ATV users it would be very important to have a stop / pause button on the osd whilst watching a film since we can't send those commands with the apple remote.

I'm running r20365 on the xbox and also have that feeling that this realease its a little bit slower than the previous one.

Running final version of Babylon. This skin is awesome and runs very well on my old XBOX (minus the backgrounds issue). Thanks for the hard work!

As skunkm0nkee pointed out: To get the benefits of the background loading stuff that this skin is using (and indeed, for the skin to work at all like it's supposed to work) you need a recent SVN version, i.e. something from about r20300 onwards.

The final babylon releases are not new enough.

Cheers,

Love this skin! Would like to thank you for your excellent work. Its exactly what I have been looking for, simple sleek and fast! Run amazing on Apple TV!

I Had to update my build on the xbox but man it is runs so freaking smooth now with your skin and applause for the smoothness of the backgrounds.

Memory problems on my xbox are history. XBOX is still in the game

Just upgraded to the latest SVN build of 20439. Everything is working now. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll look into adding player controls (at the very least stop/pause buttons).

For those that want to keep right up to date with the development of the skin, I try to post updates to twitter whenever I make any changes so follow me on there for the latest news. (I do post everything in here eventually but it may only be when I do a release that some developments are mentioned)

Hope some can help out a total noob, it's my first time using linux. How do l upgrade to the latest svn version if i'm running live cd version from hard drive. l have looked all over the forums but can't find an easy way to do it.

By the way skunkm0nkee, your skin is fantastic, just what l was looking for.

Thanks
