which versions of the scripts/plugins? where from/how did you install them? You should post a debug log as already mentioned so we can advise.

I do not recommend running the 3.3-dev release unless you are proficient with xbmc and willing to debug/work around issues - you can get a 3.2 stable release with the download link above.

Yes buzz has mentioned plenty of times that the nightly builds are likely to be quite buggy. If you want something stable stick to the latest stable build (currently 3.2). Fairly sure crackle isn't working but if you know of a working version on pc then let me know and I'll see if I can update on xai.

i can not say that the actuall nightly works bad!
all the addons and scripts what i have adapted works on it !
it is the build for my last Jan'sxbmc4xbox!
and crackle works and icefilms works and all the other works to!

Wuflee look on my last jan'sxbmc4xbox and fell free to copy crackle from it it works on the stable to but search on crackle will not works!

When anywhere will have up to date addons then give it no more as one solution install my jan'sxbmc4xbox and when you have a Question write is on this Thread!

http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... p?f=9&t=72

But Think this is build around a nightly build and when you work with this help to make the source better and give
errors the nobody understand when you asked to the bug Trackker!


I hope that is rigt BuzZ

I, and probably everyone else who's here to help, would recommend you fall back to 3.2 stable if you don't want to deal with the bugs which one expects in unstable software which is under test. Get it here:

It's your choice, no-one round here is forcing you to use your old X80X. But, if you follow the help and guidance you're being offered, your experience is likely to to be better than if you don't (both with XBMCXBOX, and indeed this forum). Good luck.

Instead of the stable build, I would recommend that you try Jan's build from this thread http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... p?f=9&t=72

His builds have all the plugins pre-installed and he has spent lots of time making sure they work before including them in the build. You wont need to bother with repositories or installing from zip.

There are a few of things with his build that you must adjust:
Change the skin to Confluence Lite
Turning off metadata on 1 channel
Adjust the individual plugin settings on all the plugins
Remove the apostrophe from the folder name Jan'sXBMC4XBOX (it caused a small hiccup once when setting the running the current xbmc as dash)

You mentioned some IP address issues...I personally, always go into the network settings and change it to say DHCP instead of dash (i had a small hiccup there with DVD2XBOX and network settings) and then I set a static IP address for the xbox in my router.

If you are in USA, I recommend the ESPN plugin..its what I use for sports. I must reiterate that [removed] has replaced icefilms for me...

You have to remember team XBMC dropped the xbox as a supported platform quite a few years ago so the builds are based on the old Camelot builds (before the days of "addons" and the built-in "addon installer"). It's quite amazing what Buzz has managed on his own for xbmc4xbox - since Arnova has left he is the only dev we have left. Use XAI to install your addons and Jans build would be the best option for you if want all the addons pre-installed (and it's the only way to get certain addons such as [removed]). There is a chance you may find a few bugs as Jan uses the latest nightly builds which are WIP, if you want something that's confirmed as stable then use "3.2 stable" but if you don't mind the possibility of a few little bugs then I would recommend Jans build. Before stressing out about the xbox' flaws just remember this is a 10 year old console that you can pick up for next to nothing (I've picked up a few for 99p each with games!) so it's quite amazing just what you can still get out of it. If you want a fully automated addon updater and all the bells and whistles then I would suggest either using another platform or learn some python ;)

Amen to that! I was pleasantly surprised to find XBMC4Xbox running so well on my stash of decade-old Xbox Classic (last XBMC installation was 9.04-SVN back in '08!). I'm currently running XBMC4Xbox 3.2 Stable w/ some of Jan's plugins including [removed] (1st choice), Icefilms, Tubeplus, Navi-X, etc on xTV-SAF skin. Thanks to XBMC4Xbox, there are 4 fewer Xbox sitting in the e-waste pile today!
