    Oh I forgot to mention it's modded... so I mean the media player that's been out since 2003 not microsoft's.

    Man you answer fast :) I found an April 1st build, Media Center 1.1.0 is that what I'm supposed to be looking for? The other thing is that I want to connect the x-box directly to my pc with no internet connection through a crossover cable, will that work? Also, does the x-box need to be in a particular screen while you ftp to it... or does it only need to be powered on?

    oh sorry about the long repost.. you're talking about xbmc.. my bad. uhh give me your email address and i'll send you everythig you need to know... actually. i'll tell you here.. just post a reply with your email address.. okay.. go to http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xbmc/XBMC_src-v1.1.0.rar?download

    choose one that is closest to you.. if you already have it then you don't need to download it.. i think using a crossover cable will work.. all you need is to ftp. have you ever ftp'd?

    I'll give you guys a reply tomorrow as I'm so busy with a papaer as soon as I'm done I'll try to somehow udpate the media player that's already in the x-box under the applications...

    KK. all you have to do is override the XboxMediaCenter.xml file, put it in the apps folder and it should work. You probably did something wrong

    magimech I am having a similar problem. still relatively new to the game. Have Xeinium and I run EvoX for my backup games. I created an Apps folder "E:/APPS" on my HD and placed XBMC folder in there via FTP. Now I don't know how to run XBMC. Gone crazy for a couple of weeks trying to figure out how to do it by reading through a whole lot of threads. Finally I broke down and joined to be able to ask.

    Hope you can help.

    if it wont show up under apps, you can also look for the .xbe file with a file browser and just run it from there... try making sure that it is only one folder deep in to the apps folder...
