still in that build, but to a lesser degree. i actually rolled back to sep 9 build as I remember t3ch's Nov, having some problems, I just can't remember what.
yes ronie, that switch would be cool. I deleted thumbs view but I think it's still selectable. weird... I can't be sure what's going on at the moment though. I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to since I last posted and am trying to get my library together once and for all with ember instead of constantly scraping, very time consuming...

Strange... how big is your video collection? I have ~ 190 titles over 3 different sources on home pc/server. BTW, your problem with user pass prompt over SMB has always been around as far as I can remember. Sometimes going into a certain share over SMB will trigger it for me. For the most part, it's not a distraction to me as I'm usually in library mode and it's not very prevalent anymore for me, but I've seen the problem resurface at least a few times over the last couple of days troubleshooting various other problems. Sometiems, it's triggered when you can't connect to certain share, even default SMB info, but flaky at other times.
@ Ronie
1.transparency v2.11 run ok on r23183? I noticed the transparency skin page says 'Camelot only' so wanted your take on that. confluence works in r23183 w/ no side affects afaict, and no dvd icon (thank goodness), but nothing touches transparency for sheer usability + aesthetics on xbox, IMO.
2. does textures.xpr contain the dvd meta (or dvd flag) icon? i just started using ember media manager and seem to have dvd icon on virtually every title in my library though they are mostly mpeg4 avis, not DVD. Icon doesn't show in amber (rightfully) so kind of annoying... would just like to see if it's still there,and if it is, what's the name of the textures.xpr tool (haven't used since customizing project mayhem with chokemaniac back in the day) so as to remove it...
3. renaming View-Icons.xml had NO EFFECT whatsoever and in fact, icon view is still available and useable from view mode. any ideas? the more ram usage I can shave on xbox the better. even SMB would help greatly in another attempt to tun latest release plus your v2.11.
btw, if any of you haven't already tried ember, I highly encourage it... no more lengthy waits when rescanning library; predefined sizes for fan art and poster scraping from the get-go; a mechanism by which to control the library and keep future scrapes from bringing in 720p fan art w/o always dragging fanart over ftp, resize, then shoot back over. Also creates .nfo files for each release for all meta info. While XBMC on PC seems to handle this task better than xbox, I like having it all consolidate in a media manager which greatly speeds up library updates, as created .nfo/-fanart/.tbn take precedence over anything scraped online. Therefore online scraping is ignored other than to populate library.
Now I merely need to weed out the very few bad scrapes (incorrect match). Once that's done, it should be the last time. If it has one caveat, it's no discernible way to delete a title from amber w/o also deleting the original file. And I wanna do this sometimes because it creates dupes when looking at rarred sub files.
4. with new skin v2.11, why isn't it possible to point music wall visualization to directly to music library thumbnails?
I know I forgot something but hopefully I'll remember later. Thanks for all your effort and time in this thread. It is much appreciated.

I have the same setup as Cranial, and just to make the skin fly a little bit more
I turn off my Media flags for movies. I have about 25-27mb of free memory. With them on, Im running 14-16mb free.
