Re: DVD without Remote

That would be the easiest way. If you have an dashboard like unleashx installed already you could burn xbm4xbox to disc and copy to hdd but thats much harder. If you want to boot directly into xbmc its needed to have a shortcut to your xbmc folder on hdd. Please take a look at the forum there are al...

Re: DVD without Remote

DVDX2 is a very old software for xbox which is not needed anymore (If I remember right, it was made to enable watching dvds without remote kit BUT this was many years ago now xbmc4xbox does all). just install xbmc4xbox if you have not already done. You say dvdx2 boots from dvd so your xbox is modded...

Re: DVD without Remote

@Darkchao your post doesn't make clear if you know that: an unmodded xbox with dvd kit can play dvds BUT no other video formats. If your xbox is modded (-> xbmc4xbox is installed) than you don't need any dvd kit and can play nearly any format up to 480p and some in 720p but not higher. That means we...

Re: Is what I have good enough or not?

The best movie quality without custom reencoding to special 720p profile is DVD. The second best without reencoding is x264 @720 pixel width . If you want to run hd video with xbmc I would recommend raspberry pi although I didn't test it people say it runs fluent with 1080p and needs very low energy...

Re: Update to XBMC4Xbox 3.5-RC2

You don't have to access Q-Drive. Check out where your 3.3 is installed (in most cases it's on E:\ or F:\) and than boot into a dashboard like unleashx get ftp access rename your 3.3 xbmc folder and place the new folder exactly at this place where your 3.3 install was.

Re: User Opinions: Which buttons to use in standard keymap

Thanks for your answer. If I understand correct you'd also prefer movie information as action for the black button.
I also agree with not removing it from context menu.

In fact I have an official MS Remote Kit but it doesn't work, maybe the infrared sensor is damaged...

User Opinions: Which buttons to use in standard keymap

Hey guys, as discussed here I'm not happy about the keymap settings when browsing in movies library mode. The problem is that there is only one button not used (black button) so only one function could be set to this button in this view. The function set to this button is remove movie from library. ...

Re: tv guide button controls issue

Without source code it's hard to say, but I think you're referring to an xml file. If so you can hide using "visible" take a look at Confluence Lite -> DialogKeyboard.xml seeing an example.
If you referring to python pls provide some source code or even better full.

Re: QWERTY as default on-screen keyboard layout?

Thx Dan, it seems you're right with spincontrol. I searched for examples but it seems very non trivial to find information about it even in confluence lite skin I miss the elements of the list... I think spincontrol/ex has to be feed by xbmc core or python you cannot set elements in a list. So there...

Re: QWERTY as default on-screen keyboard layout?

At least for all german users it is a big confusion having the Y button at Z position and adding qwertz support would only add 2 more buttons additional to qwerty and in skin option it would be still only one option... But if thats not wished I can let it this way

Re: QWERTY as default on-screen keyboard layout?

I dont know how to generate a "patchset". As I said the files are all from XBMC4XBOX-32955.zip and than edited to work. If you don't apply it yet I will add option for QWERTZ and AZERTY

Re: Unofficial Builds: 3.5-RC2 + Nightly [r32955]

The last 4 are from me; two of them I decided to mark high because they are (or do you want to get those trivial errors like on plugins in a final build??).

I try to get the two things marked as normal fixed by myself.

Thanks for the link, it's very useful.

If enabled qwerty will be used. I also fixe...

I'm very interested in QWERTY (or even better QWERTZ) keyboard, too. That would be much more familiar and easier to type ;)

The xbox runs fluent on dvd-movies and movies up to ~720p width not height.
