Xbox Media Center (XBMC) ‘Atlantis’ released

Von der Webseite xbmc.org:

Team-XBMC is proud to announce the cross-platform release of XBMC Media Center for Linux, Mac OS X (Leopard, Tiger, and Apple TV), Windows, and Xbox, code named ‘Atlantis‘.

We’ve reached the end of over 3 months of bug bashing, and have closed 425 tickets for this release and, while there are still some bugs outstanding, we feel that ‘Atlantis’ is reasonably stable, and thus it’s time to move on and get cracking on new features.  We’ve branched for release, and will maintain this branch with critical bug fixes while we move on and begin working on new features in the main linuxport trunk.

Thanks to all in the community who have made this possible by reporting bugs and suggesting improvements.  In particular we’d like to recognise the sterling efforts of Sho who was our release manager for ‘Atlantis’, diligently handling the trac system on behalf of developers.  We’d also like to thank our new QA team of Arnova, SandmanCL and ShortySco for their help verifying bug reports and making it easier for the devs to concentrate on fixing bugs.

Go grab XBMC ‘Atlantis’ and let us know how it goes!

T3CH released a new SVN compile (rev16144 - Atlantis 8.10 Final) of XBMC for Xbox(info).
This T3CH-compile is a complete snapshot of what is in SVN at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.

Special T3CH Notes and Noteworthy/XML/Script changes:
* Say Hi to XBMC Atlantis 8.10. It might be a while until next build, it all depends on the Xbox development activity.
* Team Razorfish’s MediaStream skin updated to 0.97 see here, AMT upgraded to 0.99.7.1 rev2372, I changed to SVN Repo Installer thx to Nuka1195’s suggestion and last but not least AMT II Plugin readded for this release.

Team Xecuter Connectivity Kit v3 Updates

November 9, 2008Team XeuterNo Comments

#Zitat von team-xecuter.com:

The CK3 website has been live for a couple of weeks now and the downloads section is growing. New additions are Updated Vista drivers for the CK3 Pro and we have added the latest DVDKey32 v0.6

A host of other tools can be found there including the complete iXtreme package:
http://team-xecuter.com/ck3/downloads.htm

We have painstakingly compiled very advanced step by step tutorials which we feel are the most up to date and the easiest to follow. The current live tutorials for the CK3 are:
* Disassemble the Xbox 360
* Hitachi GDR-3120L 32/36/40/46/47/58/59 Firmware Update
* Hitachi GDR-3120L 078fk Firmware Update
* Hitachi GDR-3120L 079fk / 079fl Firmware Update
* Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943A MS25/MS28 Firmware Update
* Benq VAD6038 Firmware Update
* Liteon DG-16D2S Drive Key Dump - WINDOWS
* Swap Liteon DG-16D2S with another drive

We have many more helpful tutorials in progress so keep an eye on the CK3 website for updates.

We also have a new app for the CK3. It has a very powerful IO port query function which scans all ports both legacy / ide / sata onboard and sata add on cards. You can connect any drive in windows and run a port scan - it will tell you the drive name and exactley which port it is connected to. No more guess work. It auto detects the CK3 Pro and much more. The CK3 Tool does much more and we hope to have it released in the next day or so. Here’s a screen shot.
