you will have to drop in the xbox scene discord and forum, there is actually a lot going on new hardware software and projects. would be worth checking out the usual places modcast too. There's so much going on it's legitimately hard to keep track of it all. It's a good problem to have. Lol Case in...

h.264 will play but won't play very well. Stick to MPEG4. 480p will give you more headroom for bitrate at the cost of some resolution. 720p is possible, but with more macro-blocking visible. 128mb RAM upgrade really helps for getting any kind of decent 720p content.

They are working on a cross platform dash with 3d rendering engine looks promising as a app/ game dev engine.

New Xbox homebrew on the horizon?

Metadata scrapers for shows and movies have been broken for a bit . They broke several years ago, and the issue was fixed, then it broke again. To be clear, this isn't the fault of XBMC but rather it's due to the data sources online who provide the information changing the way they provide their dat...

That looks great! Good job.

I hope this becomes a new official version. We haven't had one in 7 years.

You should reach out to Rocky5 and see if you two can collaborate. A modern build of XBMC that includes your work + Rocky's mods (XBMC4Gamers) would be a dream come true.

That looks amazing! Great work. I look forward to using it as my main skin soon.
I feel like with this, and a few other tweaks, this could be enough for a new xbmc version. I would love to see python 3 someday.

Anything you need help with? Or need a tester?

Wut?

Details?

The version of samba running on your NAS is too new for the Xbox to connect to. I had a similar issue recently trying to connect my Xbox to a Linux machine. I forget which version of samba/smb XBMC uses, but it's an old one. Maybe v1.0? But newer devices have support for older smb disabled because i...

How this approach differs in quality compared to this ffmpeg command to transcode videos: ffmpeg -i some_1080p_h264_video.mkv -scodec copy -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 3000k -maxrate 5000k -bufsize 4096k -s 1280x720 -f matroska -y outfile.mkv I was using this ffmpeg method while making my Stream...

Thanks for the great work on this, personally i hadn't heard of jellyfin but ive used Plex for years and had worked on a Plex profile for quite a while with varying results for xbox. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to test atm, but I've taken a copy and its on the to do list once i pull it out ...

(cross-posted from OGXbox.com ) I have made a profile for Jellyfin (a media streaming server similar to Plex) that transcodes videos down to a format that the Original Xbox can handle. I have tested it on a few of my own 1080p and 4K videos and it seems to work fairly well and I'm hoping to find a ...

I've tried, but didn't work. We need new_ssl.pyd compiled for Python 2 on Xbox. And if I read correctly, these .pyd files are compiled while compailing Python 2. So you can't just replace them and expect to work. Better solution would be to port Python 3 to XBMC, but that won't happen because devel...

As far as I'm aware he is not currently, all atempts have failed so far but he is still going to look into it and has another idea, windows has some limitations with pass throughh of scsi commands,it has problems with the likes of retriving smata data over usb. This was based off a conversion on Re...

I just want to say THANK YOU! While I like Rocky5 version and have used it a lot, the abillity to lock was beyond me... now I can use his to set up a new c drive, fatxplorer 3 beta to put the extra files on that I want and use, and Format extra areas, then LOCK to my backed up eeprom with your vers...

I've bought from him a few times and have always had good experiences. I'd be surprised if he just stopped replying outright. Not saying you're lying, but rather he might be busy with other stuff. How long are we talking anyways? What method are you trying to contact him through? I think the last ti...

Love this tool. I like it so much I bought a license. I want to see this project grow. Makes building Xbox hdds so much easier on modern hardware.

Hi Keith. Welcome back! There's a bunch of really cool projects going on right now. It feels like the Xbox is in like a 2nd renaissance. Kekule recently released his work on his Xecuter 3 modchip clone, "R3dux". It aims to be a complete recreation of the infamous X3 chips. https://github.c...

All we can do is try to provide help and educate them on forum etiquette. I've tried being polite explaining things and recording videos that prove certain instructions do actually work, but it's always met with hostility and total disrespect. If this dude really has been around since 2007, then he...

Spoken like a true internet troll.

Move on, folks. Nothing to see here. Don't feed the trolls.

this is an area of the xbox modding aspect that I have more knowledge on than a lot of people on this and other forums including you on this is because I've been doing this since 2007 most people are just coming around now. Oof. Just lost all credibility with that line. Not even Bunnie Huang goes a...
