I also just went through a big move and was finally able to test out this version. It seems ok, but I'm still experiencing crashing while playing video, and now small icon view seems very strange (forced downward on screen). I'm going to mess around with it more as soon as I can.

I came home tonight and started messing around with it again before I saw your post. I was getting 100% successes with all movies. I decided to try to determine exactly what change made the difference. I still had the last build of the skin I was trying before r199 as I still had that skin folder, j...

And upon further testing, I'm even more confident. Fudged around with it for hours now and still the only way I can make a video crash the Xbox is if I change a GUI setting before launching a video, launch a video while playing music with the visualizer in the background (might just be asking too mu...

I may have made huge progress...or I may be running into the same positive fluke you've been coming across, lol. I deleted the RCM plugin folder and the lyrics plugin folder. Launched a movie freshly successfully. Rebooted. Launched another movie freshly successfully. Launched another movie starting...

It's funny you should ask that because I was thinking it was a controller issue when I first noticed the problem. The controller I was using had a wonky right analog stick, so whenever I started up a movie it would start skipping forward. Rotating the stick fixed this...just needed to be recalibrate...

Gave it a go. Unfortunately it's still crashing seemingly randomly. Also tried it on a fresh version of the skin with the new changes implied. Still, no crashing when "resuming" video playback on my end. I DID notice that a couple videos I tried stuttered in the beginning as if they were g...

Sorry it's taken me a while to test the latest changes. No difference on my end. Is there a way to download a previous build? I'd like to give the first build I ever tried a shot again because, granted I didn't have many movies on the Xbox at the time, none of them seemed to lock up at all. And I di...

That's the same error I get every time. For the record, I'm Reptile. Couldn't remember my password for the site or the email address I used for it, so I created a new account, but found the password was stored on my laptop. Sorry, probably should have specified. You're right. I did more testing, now...

Still, one thing I stand by is that Resume Playback never seems to result in a crash. I'm going to play with it a lot on Sunday again and I'll enable debug logging. If it's crashing with skins other than PMIII, I'd imagine it has something to do with the the video being visible in the background? I ...

Just dropping by to say the new version of the skin is the tits as expected!

Happy holidays, guys! Drink your Ovaltine and shoot your eye you!

I finished modding another Xbox and stuck a 500 GB old IDE HDD in it and downloaded the new version of the skin. I'm not sure if it's the Xbox, the fresh install of XBMC or the skin itself, but it FLIES. Even running 720p backgrounds, there is almost no latency switching between menus (home>programs...

Someone buy this man 800 beers. (I plan on making a pretty decent donation myself if you allow it, Byron. Not just because you're knocking things out at light speed, but because you're helping me a lot in getting these xboxes out to friends in time for Christmas looking as polished as possible). I h...

The latest changes are sick. It looks absolutely beautiful and Coverflow in the music section is awesome - nice CD outline! Couple things I'm noticing: 1.) Kind of a major glitch - after disabling the rotaing CD animation, "Now Playing" info does not display properly while the visualizer i...

Awesome, thank you again. I'll grab the SVN over the weekend and give it a shot. I was downloading the new individual xml files last night, so I most likely missed something. Here are the icons for now. I might make a few other changes, but they're looking much better now: https://drive.google.com/f...

Yeah, I still couldn't find it. Do I have to add the new images in order to see the option? Again, not a rush. I appreciate what you're doing a lot. As far as the backgrounds I uploaded go - I don't necessarily want you to do anything with them - just thought some of them looked really good and you ...

Byron, you are killing it, brother. I can't keep up with you. I'm glad you're in this groove because I'm pretty convinced that this is the skin that will pretty much embalm the Xbox. The scene will exist forever, but as far as people out there doing the heavy lifting we're like the new Commodore 64 ...

Thanks, fxmech, for the Photoshop tip. And yes, the 720p images do in fact impact the RAM. The difference between 480p versions (around 100kb each) and 720p versions (about 250kb each) is around 3-4 MB, depending on how many images are loading for each category. So, I've also decided to keep them at...

I haven't had a chance to try the new version of the skin this weekend like I had planned. I did host a party on Saturday, though, and a lot of people got to see the previous version in action. I've modded Xboxes for a lot my friends and after seeing your skin they all want an upgrade lol. They're n...

As far as cloning drives go, I use CHIMP (or CHIMP-X) - just Google around for it. It's very quick and easy, but as far as I know and even against what I've read it DOES require a keyboard. It's easy to make an Xbox USB keyboard adapter, too. All you you need is a generic USB keyboard and a controll...

You are THE MAN. I can't wait to try this out. For the past week I've been on a hunt to find the perfect current XBMC4XBOX skin, even finding some after my last post, and yours is still (again, by far) the best. I actually found a link with every single one that's up to date and the only one that ev...
