Xbox Media Center (XBMC) 1.0.0 Download - Media Player for Xbox

​

Xbox Media Center (XBMC) is a free and open source media player developed for the Xbox. This download is for the first stable release of XBMC from 29 June, 2004, Xbox Media Center 1.0.0. (xbmc-1.0-WAM).

New features in Xbox Media Center 1.0.0 included the addition of embedded Python, giving the ability to draw interface elements in the graphical user interface and allowed user and community generated scripts to be executed within the XBMC environment.

With the release of 1.0.0 in the middle of 2004, work continued on the XBMC project to add more features, such as support for iTunes features like DAAP and smart playlists, as well as lots of improvements and fixes.

The Read Me:

Important note about XVID - There are 2 xvid decoders available in XBMC:
FFmpeg and version 1.01 of the XviD codec. Neither currently decodes all xvid
files perfectly. FFmpeg has problems rendering videos encoded with the latest
version of the xvid encoder (these are fine when decoding with XviD 1.01), and
XviD drops frames on some files.

The default is currently to use FFmpeg for all XVIDs. This should be fine for
the vast majority of xvid avis out there. If you want to use XviD 1.01 instead,
simply copy "codecs.conf.XVID101" over "codecs.conf" in the "mplayer" subdir
of XBMC. To switch back to FFmpeg, copy "codecs.conf.FFMPEG" over codecs.conf.

You can check which decoder is currently being used by pressing the black button
while playing video and checking the "video:" information.


Installation notes:

Code:

If you have installed XBMC before, delete ALL contents of the XBMC directory on your
xbox including subdirectories, and upload the files in this package.

You can usually keep your old XboxMediaCenter.xml unless it's from a very old build.

The settings you can change on-screen are stored in /E/TDATA/0face008/settings.xml.
It is not usually necessary to delete this file when upgrading, your old settings
will be imported.

If XBMC does not start, check the xbmc.log file. You can try deleting the TDATA
settings.xml if this happens.

If you want to use the AC3 passthrough feature in XBMC (Settings -> Audio Options),
you need to enable Dolby Digital and DTS in the MS Dash settings. If your video has
stereo sound but "Output to All Speakers" is enabled, passthru will not be used.

If you cannot see the OSD (on-screen display) when you press Y while playing video,
go into Settings -> My Video -> Screen Calibration while the video is still
playing, press A until you get to the OSD calibration part, and move it into view.

The default.xbe is retail-patched in this build in order to work with old modchips.

See keymapping.txt/pdf for the default button mappings (edit keymap.xml to change them).

See bugs.txt for currently known bugs and the todo list.
(to submit patches for any bugs, see XBMC Media Center | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net)

XBMC's built-in FTP and HTTP servers can be enabled in Settings -> General.

The most recommended network streaming method is SAMBA (Windows filesharing), it
is fastest and stable.

To configure Stream Servers and other options, edit XboxMediaCenter.xml in the XBMC
directory (see examples below). Restarting is required for any changes to take effect.

For SMB:
smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@server_ip_address/sharename/dirname

"DOMAIN" is the same as your Windows workgroup name (this can usually be omitted),
the following formats may also work depending on your SMB server:

smb://username:pwd@server.ip.address/sharename or
smb://username:pwd@server.ip.address

if guest/public access is enabled:
smb://server.ip.address

See http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=233298 for an SMB tutorial

For ccXStream, MFXStream and other XBMSP type stream servers:
xmbs://ip:port/ or xbms://ip:port/sharename
(a GUI for ccxstream.exe, CCXGUI is available at http://dott.lir.dk/ccxgui)

If you're running ccXStream (XBMSP) or XBMS (XNS) on a Linux server,
you can play video directly out of RAR files. For instructions check here:
404 Not Found

For Relax (not recommended), XBMS / xBmsx and other XNS type stream servers:
xns://ip:port/ or xns://ip:port/directory

For Python scripting support, extract python.rar (included in the 02-12 build) into
the XBMC folder so that you have scripts/ and python/ subdirectories. You do not need
to upload the files from python.rar if you do not need Python scripting support.

Chokeman's Project Mayhem skin (www.chokemaniac.net) is included.
The XBMC project website is currently available at www.xboxmediacenter.de.
