XBMC4Xbox

I recently purchased an original xbox preloaded with xbmc....... I can no longer use xbmc for some reason! Im also not even sure if ive connected it online properly (am on vigin media and connected the Ethernet to back of xbox) as it don't seem to be online! How can I check if its connected and also if its not how do I check its connected properly??
There are no silly questions if u don't know the answers!!! Lol

In XBMC. check System info > Network, if it's online, you should see Conneceted. The easiest method to setup up probably, is using DHCP.

its not connected then mate, can u give me instructions (for an idiot) on how to set it up plz?

1. What are you trying to do which you cannot get to work in xbmc?
2. What's the make and model of the box to which you've connected the xbox with the Ethernet cable?

If you're unable to use XBMC in general, then what exactly happens when the Xbox is powered on?

Hi again peeps, right I have established im connected to the net, but when I try load up [admin: read forum rules regarding discussion of certain add-ons.]... it wont load up, just stays at loadin...? Its quite an old version of xbmc is there an easy way of updateing it?

Ditto, if your journey takes you even further south on the A34.

cheers guys but need someone bit closer

It really would be best if you could do it yourself for future updates etc , I am sure we could spoonfeed you through the update process its not that bad to do really .
First thing do you have access to a laptop or desktop ?

Cheers hawsey for reply, I have a laptop mate...but like I said above im completely useless at this sort of thing lol, and worry that ure lose patience in showing me

We're a patient bunch.

Let's start off...Get your laptop, start your web browser, go to https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1 download and install the version for your laptop's operating system.

Done that mate

and I have downloaded xbmc4xbox3.5 onto me hd in preparation (may have jump the gun there I don't know) lol

Okay, let's find out exactly what you did.
1. from where did you download a new v3.5 ?
2. did you unzip the downloaded 3.5 onto your laptop's hard drive?
3. did you then use filezilla to copy the unzipped 3.5 onto your xbox hard drive?
4. if so, what folder have you put the new 3.5 XBMC in on your xbox?

I downloaded 3.5 from a site off google mate
yes unzipped it on me laptop....but that's as far as I got

plz bear in mind I don't even know how to connect me xbox to me laptop etc....patience is a virtue tho lol

Sparky , you will get there , now switch on your Xbox connected to your network and go to settings and find its IP address , something like this 192.168.2.1 and write it down , then go go your PC open up fileziller and use these instructions
