Editing Evox.ini

I hope this is not a stupid question but when i load up my evox dash, the only menu items i have are ' settings,power xbox off & restart xbox'
How do i add other things like 'launch game from drive or launch dvd from drive or ms dash, apps,games and so on' ?

Any help appreciated

 

Creating new menu items is not an easy task. It sounds like you just have an old/messed up version of EvoX. There are lots of other dashes out there to try; I'd recommend Avalaunch, XBMC, or UnleashX.

 

So if I install a newer version off of aid autoinstaller that should over write the old file yeah?

 

If you didn't use it before then give it a try. AID is not completely up to date however.

In case you didn't know, you don't need an installer, just ftp a new copy of which ever dash you wish to use. Google it.

But yes, once you have a new dash, you can simply replace the older version. But I would reccomend testing it first so you're not stuck with no dashboard. Just put it in a seperate folder on C or E and run it from there, if it works then replace your old one.

BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE YOU REPLACE ANYTHING! ESPECIALLY YOUR EEPROM!!!

 

I have managed to update my evox dash but was now wondering is there a way to add "Play Music" & Play Videos" and then have the relevant stuff auto added so it opens up in the appropriate program?

I have tried

}
Section "Play Music"
{
Line "-Music On Hard Drive-"
AutoAddItem "E:\music\"
SortAll
}
Section "Play Videos"
{
Line "-Videos On Hard Drive-"
AutoAddItem "E:\videos\"
SortAll
}

Do i need some default.xbe to open up xbmc or something like that? And if so where do I add that in to the code?

 

XBMC is a great dash. It plays virtually any video and audio format and is very easy to use. You're going to have to google it. If you're familiar with torrents, there's a good version out there titled XBMC Pimped Edition. You can download the entire dash, you won't have to add anything into the code.

 

I already have that on my box, i di not know you could have that as a start up dash.

 

Yeah, you can use any dash as your startup. Just be sure to name the xbe file correctly.

 

thanks for your help, I shall see if I can get it to work

 

Sounds like, you need to make sure you,ve got a file named evoxdash.xbe in your C:/ drive.
This is the file evox looks for to display the item,s. i.e boxplorer-xbmc et,c et,c.
You need evox.ini and evoxdash.xbe in C:
Hope this helps, there are tutorials on the forums.

 

All sorted now, i installed another version and it had all the things i need on the menu.
Cheers for the help people.
