XBMC _CVS_ 666 (6th of June 2006) incl. MC360 by Team Blackbolt

This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time
the build was compiled, with just a few small additions:

+ BritneysPAIRS's ~110 choosen Milkdrop presets (visualisations: MD - BPs Selection)
+ Mouton's QuickTimeBrowser SCRIPT modded by Donno (scripts: QuickTimeBrowser-lite\)
+ EnderW's XBMCScripts Installer 1.0 SCRIPT (scripts: XBMCScripts)
+ Codecs for mplayer (system\players\mplayer\codecs\:*)

Since XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment, I've decided to make more than one BUILD per week.
If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=SubmitBugReport.
Please note: Support for skins with versions < 2.0 has been removed

MESSAGE FROM T3CH___________________________________________________________
The date 060606 brings us MC360 BETA version. And yes, it's included in this build!
!THIS IS NOT XBMC 2.0.0, XBMC is still pre 2.0.0!
The change of location for GUI settings is a big change.
You will have to redo all your GUI settings (unless you have them specified them in AdvancedSettings.xml)
Also changed is that all tags in AdvancedSettings.xml needs to be lowercase.

If you wondered what happened to XBoxMediaCenter.xml, More info here:

APPLICATION INSTALL_________________________________________________________
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking.
Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder.

DASHBOARD INSTALL (SOFTMODS)_____________________________________________
ARE NOT COVERED IN THIS README, SEE http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=406656

DASHBOARD INSTALL___________________________________________________________
Option 1. Team XBMC's shortcut tool.
It's included in the _tools folder as <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>> + <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg>>.
Instructions here: http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=dashinstallsetupv2&v=1dmv
Rename the <<SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe>>+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
Upload to Xbox.

Option 2. Thanks to an app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now easy...
Transfer contents of XBMC folder (this is VERY important since the tool is hardcoded)
TO "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<SHORTCUT by TEAM UIX.xbe>> to something your bios can boot
(see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=dashinstallsetupv2&v=1dmv#h376-2 or read your
BIOS README) and transfer to location your mod solution boots. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore,
and future upgrades you need not to worry about this file (unless you move XBMC).

UPGRADE TIPS________________________________________________________________
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
o Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build
o Delete old savegame/settings (from E:/TDATA/0face008)
o In some rare cases some of the database files in XBMC/Albums/*.db may need manual deletion
(usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!

TWEAKS BY T3CH______________________________________________________________
I've cleaned up the scripts menu, >>XBMC\skin\Project Mayhem III\pal\dialogsubmenu.xml<<
(used for all resolutions) to only show the included QuickTimeBrowser & "XBMCScripts" scripts.
If you add scripts yourself, this is the file to edit or replace.
