yes, i changed dbr, not that it didn't work great, but i did add more customizations. the ability to keep the cvs download, the ability to move the build folder instead of deleting it and some other changes.

i edited my other post and gave you credit for the code, that works great when you change the space to a tab.

i will be adding your code to my script. thanks

i will be adding your code to my script.  thanks

any chance i can have a copy of it?
do you update it whenever yuyu updates his script?

thanks.

[Nuka1195]

sure, it's not as refined with echo messages and it's still a work in progress. i'll pm it to you. ok

[Nuka1195]

@Ythan : i just read yuyu's credits and found out your one of the original creators of his script, which i use.

thank you

i like some of your ideas, i hope you don't mind me "borrowing" them.

i have no intention of releasing this, but i thought i would thank you.

@jgawera: i put your code in. i also cleaned up my changes if you would like to see it, let me know

and thanks yuyu, cheesyboofs and the whole xbmc development team.

[Nuka1195]

i've had a request from craxx for my script. so i've decide to post it here.

first thanks to yuyu for xbmcdbr.bat which was the original starting point.

thanks jgawera for code to find program locations and check for a valid path.

thanks ythan for the original script file and menu inspiration.

and anyone else who contributed.

i broke this in to two files one the build.bat and the other settings.bat. settings.bat is where you can change all (hopefully) script settings.

create your installation folder. (do not have cvs in any part of a folders name you create.)

copy settings.bat code and save it as settings.bat in your installation folder.

copy build.bat code and save it as build.bat in your installation folder.**** you must change {tab} to a literal tab no spaces. (jgawera's code for finding install locations will not work if you don't.)

then create a folder named programs (the folder name can be changed in settings.bat.) and put gsar.exe, cvs.exe and xbepatch.exe in this folder.

then create a folder named user modified files. (the folder name can be changed in settings.bat.) this folder contains the exact folder structure as the xbmc installation on the xbox. you do not need to create every folder or copy anything in to it if you don't want to. but if you do then you must follow the exact folder structure of xbmc installation. for example i add kai xlink's files kaid and kaid.conf to a kaid folder in the web folder. so i create a web folder in user modified files and a kaid folder in the web folder and copy these files there.

all other folders will be created as needed.

make any changes to settings.bat you like and run build.bat. i added a command switch /u. if you start build.bat with this it will run a full download and build from your settings in settings.bat and not prompt for any input.

thanks again to all who contributed.

watch for word wrap, some line need attention.

trying to compile the 2004-02-01 cvs tarball.

i get the following error:

application.obj : error lnk2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool _ _thiscall cxbfilezilla : tart(void)" (?start@cxbfilezilla@@qae_nxz) referenced in function "public: virtual long __thiscall capplication::initialize(void)" (?initialize@capplication@@uaejxz)


any ideas?

did anyone figure out how to fix these link errors? i get about a 100 of them. i went to project dependencies and checked all of the checkboxes. nothing works. help please.

here an error example:
xbmc error lnk2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual thiscall capplication::~capplication(void)" (??1capplication@@uae@xz)

everything compiles fine, but the linking does not work. thank you.

hi

i'm newbie here. and got question about aqtbrowser.py.

i was able to build xmbc from cvs source code, and deploy it to xbox without problem. the only issue is: i can not found aqtbrowser.py from scripts.rar, also kmlbrowser.py. i copy the old aqtbrowser.py and it works except no background pic. anybody know where can i get latest version of aqtbrowser.py? and how to install it?

thanks

wrong forum, wrong thread ...but the answer is; it's not in the cvs, you can find it  here (link). use support forum in the future

[YuYu]

my xbmcdbr package now has a website here check the latest package and tell me what you guys want added...

@jgawera - i am planning on now implementing your script snippets for vs.net and winrar locations. i'll put it in the nest update, as well as add you to the credits.

@Nuka1195 i may also borrow some of your ideas and add them in, at which point i will also add you to the credits also...

i am going to add a setup.bat instead of directory_setter.bat. users will be able to run that file once, then never have to fool with it, until a new release or if they want to setup different options...

please throw some ideas/ your most wanted features at me, i'm open for anything that makes sense and will not be too hard for the common person to use...

[jgawera]

yay :thumbsup:

ok, here's some ideas for features i would like.

if possible, get rid of the setup/directory setter scripts
just have one self contained script that tries to figure everything out by it's self. -- no user input.

so i just download your package, run it and i have the latest xbmc.

i personally would prefer the codecs to be in the same package. since we know we need broadband to run this, why not simplify it by having one download. i know the codecs may not change very often, but i find that i usually download both packages anyway, just to be sure i have the latest everything.

add some advanced options to help xbmc developers use your script.

- download cvs only
- build from local cvs (if i wanted to change the source)
- download build rar but don't cleanup files

if i think of anything else, i'll post it here.

thanks again for a great script.

welll, for one of the reasons you state "download cvs only", is why i need the setup script. the script should run with no user input so it may be a scheduled task, but if users want to specify something, there has to be a way for them to do that...

anyways, you are right though less user input is always good, but if they only have to do it once, i belie it's fine...

as for the codecs package being seperate, i do that in case people choose not to use my script at all and they just want he codecs package, also my isp webspace is 10mb per user account, so seperating it leaves me headroom to add new codecs in the future...

[YuYu]

ok i updated the xbmcdbr website with the latest info and changes. hope you like it jgawera and nuka1195 ,
oh and of course anyone else who enjoys using it !!

[YuYu]

xbmcdbr now has automated ftp!

check out the website for more info:
xbmcdbr homepage

look in the changelog, instructions, and batch files info sections!
it's been a long time coming but now, xbmc updating is fully automated if you want it to be !

[YuYu]

ok there are a few, meaning 3 minor errors, with my batch at the moment. they will be fixed within a couple hours.
