You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from http://allxboxskins.com, http://www.xbox-skins.net and http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

just a comment; the "usual" xbmc "place" is still down, so this is hosted on the MAIN "usual place"

A note about Xbins:

QUOTE

First off, this is not an xbins support forum. The server admin is having problems after upgrading some software, thus the downtime. It will be up when its up.

Xbmc is being uploading to the main xbins server now. So please stop with the threads/posts/pm'ing mods/pm'ing xbins ops/etc.

does this mean dvdplayer is active now?..

[pike]

ofcourse not

[DJBurkey]

Well I've upgraded to this CVS and now the audio on my OGM files ain't workin.. time to roll back!

[aHorseofCourse]

Yep, same problem here: no audio on OGM files. Figure they'll fix it soon. They always do:-)
Oh, and iTunes streaming (over DAAP) doesn't work at all for me anymore. It'll navigate playlists just fine, but as soon as I try to play anything it simply locks up.

When will the DVD Player menu get activated? Any eta on it. I see progress. Thanks for that.

[JayDee]

Same answer as always when people ask about the dvdplayer/menus:

When it is ready....

This skipping bug was annoying. I filed a bug about this and it was closed with comment "by design". Well, good to see they changed the design.
Will definetly check this out later.

1080i not working for me again, all the medusa releases have the same problem.  My old versions ran fine in 1080i

Lower the video cache and you should be fine

The lovely fade-in and fade-out between the background pictures when changing between the menu items on the home screen has still not been fixed.

This feature first apperead seen in about 3 CVS builds ago. Since then its been missing/broken!!

Really hope they put that back in as it makes xbmc sleek and makes using xbmc more enjoyable!!!

While DVD player isn't active by default the developers made it a little easier again to enable it. You don't need to recompile anymore.

Maybe this indicates that we are getting closer to a public beta release. I managed to play a DVD with menus from a network share, DVD images should work as well. Good to see that menu support is coming along so well, only a matter of weeks now before the general public gets to use it if you ask me.

EDIT: For playing from network shares or images you still need to recompile.

I got a cvs copy of this and I don't think it was the tech release cause it was completly broken up. Barley anything worked.
