enabled in our CVS and is of today the default player for DVD-Video playback in XBMC. Please be patient with it, understand that it can be a bit buggy, it has some limitations, and still needs a lot of work. The basics functions for DVD-Video playback (DVD-menus support) is in there and from now on we will accept (properly formatted) bug-reports from end-users and we will do our best to help users of the player. We would also like to take this moment to ask and encourage programmers who may or may not yet have contributed to the XBMC project to step up and assist in the development of this new core for DVD-Video playback. Please take a look at the source code, its potential, and then look at the many (big and small) features that are missing or lacking, there are things that almost anyone can help with.A special thanks goes to all people and groups who made a donatation!Link to "XBMC DVD-Player made public" XBMC Forum-discussion:http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=ST&f=1&t=15597 (0 comments) [Less]

internet. XBMC 1.1.0 FINAL point release source code has now been set in our CVS! Once again we felt that we had been holding off doing any official release candidates for so long that we now consider the current XBMC CVS to be as stable as a point release should and could be, so we decided that we were ready to go final without a release candidate process. Yes, there are still a few known bugs but none serious enough to stop you from fully using and enjoying XBMC. All XBMC users (and XBMP users if there still are any?) are highly encouraged to upgrade to this stable Xbox Media Center 1.1.0 point release which is now officially the only supported version. For those of you who are new to XBMC (and/or XBMP) please understand and respect that Team-XBMC do not release nor distribute Xbox executables (XDK binaries) at all, so please do not ask us where to find/download a compiled versions of XBMC (which you do require to run XBMC on your Xbox). Please read through our FAQ and the online-manual carefully before posting/asking anything in our official XBMC Community-Forums. Know that the official CVS feature/skin freeze has now been lifted, meaning our team-devs are again allowed to add new features/functions to the XBMC CVS, and independent programmers can too.Full news and much more information on: http://www.xboxmediacenter.comThis latest release can be found here:https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87054&package_id=122530 (0 comments) [Less]

consider the XBMC CVS to be as stable as a point release should be, so we decided that we were ready to go final (gold) without a release candidate process. Yes, there are still a few known bugs but none serious enough to stop you from fully enjoying XBMC. Know that we will keep the CVS feature freeze for a few more days, just in case any huge bugs are discovered in this release (in which case we fix them then set and announce a 1.0.1 point release src). All XBMP and XBMC-Beta users out there are highly encouraged to upgrade to Xbox Media Center 1.0.0 point release which is now officially the only supported version. For those of you who are new to XBMC (and/or XBMP) please understand and respect that we do not release nor distribute Xbox executable (XDK binaries) at all, so please do not ask us where to find/download compiled versions of XBMC (which you do require to run XBMC on your Xbox).XBMC official web site: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com (currently down)XBMC official mirror site: http://www.xboxmediacenter.de (currently online) (0 comments) [Less]

, XVID, MP3, OGG, JPG, GIF and many more direct from a CD/DVD in the DVD-ROM or of the Xbox build-in hard disk drive, it can also play files over a network (LAN) from a PC via an "XStream Server" application or from a Windows (SMB) share. It has playlist slideshow functions and ability to funcion as a full replacement Xbox dashboard. These and more features enables the Xbox running XboxMediaCenter to fully function as a multi-media jukebox. XboxMediaCenter also known as "Xbox Media Center" or simply "XBMC". This project is what the active official Xbox Media Player developers has been working on in secret for the last 4-6 months. This does not mean the Xbox Media Player is dead, official and unofficial developers will still be adding new code and maintain it but the lead developers will be focusing on XBMC. Remember that XBMC and XBMP are hobby projects and are only developed by volunteers in their spare-time for free. New and big differences compared to XboxMediaPlayer:- Entire new fully skinnable GUI engine- Easy switching between skins (if exist)- Dynamic loader for multiple cores/engines- Music database with search feature- Sort files/folders by name, size or date- File Manager for DVD-ROM/HDD/Network- Virtual Keyboard- CDDB and album cover/info lookup- Movie calibration per resolution- UI calibrationThings that are not supported in XBMC yet:- DVD-movie playback- Audio Visualization- Matroska file container- Windows DLL's (WMV/WMA 9)- FTP-Server- SHOUTcast- TV-GuideNote! Normal retail Xbox's require a modchip with hacked a BIOS for XboxMediaCenter to run.
