Showing off Coverflow on the XBMC

Apple Movie Trailers



Photos - South Africa 2006



Also got Shoutcast working all on the latest xbmc build. along with few video plugins allows thousands of movies/shows of sites like stage6,powerflv

EDIT: Installed a extra script from SVN so it does automatic updating from the website in the first link meaning no more ftping from pc to xbox

1) Downloads T3CH rar
2) Extracts rar to location specified in Settings Menu.
3) Copies old build UserData (if still located within XBMC folder structure).
4) Copies Scripts (if they don't exist in new build) - same for vizualisations, skins etc.
5) Copies additional files/folders as per 'Maintain Copies'.
6) Deletes files/folders as per 'Maintain Deletes'.
7) Prompts to create and install new dash booting shortcuts.
   Backups are always made, named *.xbe_old and *.cfg_old on boot drive.
8 Prompt to Reboot

EDIT 2: I set it up so i can use my nokia 770 tablet as a remote over wifi

Shutdown xbox
restart xbox
play a movie,music or load a picture
xbox information
and more

EDIT 3:And finally got all my music on the xbox hard drive

That Cover Flow appearance looks pretty sweet, especially with going through photos.

I gotta get that automatic updating.

As forum does not allow attachments i uploaded the latest SVN version (1833) of auto updating script (downloaded and compiled on 22nd January 08) to mediafire (So Ryan you can get the latest one as one in latest T3Ch is outdated)

Download Link

Program i use is XBMC Skin Manager  - Link

XBMC Skin Manager is a tool for simply manage your skins for Xbox Media Center, it is able to download lots of skins from official SVN or direct HTTP links, build & upload them to your xbox by FTP.Also i modded it so downloads the scripts for xbmc as well e.g. Apple Move Trailers

I had mod in the option for photos as it was there for movies and music but not photos just copy and paste some of the code to the mypictures.xml . i also like you can click on it and will fill the television screen or start a sideshow from that photo
