[. . . ] My Programs My Programs is used to launch XBE files, real useful if using XBMP as a dashboard replacement. With XBMP's cover function, programs are easy to identify, as you can specify a cover for any XBE or Shortcut as you would for a Music/Video clip. The "Play DVD-ROM" tries to launch D:\default. xbe, this way you can easily launch games. If a disc is not present, it will then load the default dashboard. 4. 1 Shortcuts Shortcuts are used to `call' programs located in other drives/folders (Evox, or the MS Dash for example). Shortcuts can also make My Programs look less cluttered, as it will only show the files you wish. To make a shortcut file, open a text editor and edit like this: <shortcut> <path>Harddisk0\Partition1\apps\xbplayer\default. xbe</path> </shortcut> After editing the Path, save as "Filename. cut". Place the file on the application folder, it will show up as an ordinary file, but when selected it will run the specified XBE. Partition1 = E: | Partition2 = C: | Partition6 = F: Go back to Index 4. 2 Program Bookmarks Bookmarks let you have different folders for My Programs in different drives or paths. To make different bookmarks edit the config. xml like in the next example: <applications> <bookmark> <name>Utils</name> <path>f:\apps\Utils</path> </bookmark> </applications> This will bookmark F:\apps\utils as "Utils" in the side bar. 4. 3 Hierarchy Flattening Hierarchy flattening will only display "default. xbe" files and display the name associated with the XBE file instead of the XBE file names inside of the My Programs folders. Example: "E:\apps\boxplorer\default. xbe" will show up as "boXplorer" "E:\apps\xbp\default. xbe" will show up as "Xbox Media Player" "E:\apps\xbp\xbplayer. xbe" will not show up. This way, XBMP will only show the files to launch, and not every single folder inside the main folder. Before Hierarchy Flattening After Hierarchy Flattening Go back to Index 5. My Music The "My Music" section explains how to use different options under this menu. While playing files, pressing A or Select, will bring up the Control Panel, from here, it is possible to Pause, Stop, Rewind, Forward and Mute the file. To add single files or folders to the playlist, press the Y button on the controller or the Title Key on the remote To check the current playlist, go to the main Music screen, in there, select Playlist. Once inside, you can change the file order, using the Left/Right Triggers, and with Skip +/- with the remote. The side panel will give you 4 different options, Previous, Next, Clear and Shuffle. To stop the playlist, press Stop from the DVD Remote, or stop from the Control Panel (first press X). Go back to Index To save the current playlist, press "Save" it will save it as "Playlist0. m3u" inside the Playlist folder. To launch m3u playlists, simply select the file and it will start to play. Folders and filenames in the m3u playlist must match the ones on drive. Note: The playlist folder (default \xbmp\playlists) must be shared in each section (music/video) for you to be able access and launch them. 5. 2 Shoutcast XBMP now supports Internet Radio via SHOUTcast/Icecast (native or streaming via RelaX). (Note that the folder has to be shared in config. xml) Shoutcast streams can also be recorded to the harddrive, for it to work you have to specify a recording path in config. xml, the default is "e:\apps\xbmp\recordings" (via the <recordingpath> tag, note the directory must exist on your Xbox for this feature to work) To create SC files (to use with Shoutcast) with Notepad (or any text editor), create a new file called myshoutcaststream. sc with the following syntax: shoutcast://205. 188. 209. 193:80/stream/1003 first goes the IP (205. 188. 205. 193), then the Port (80), and in the end the stream (/stream/1003). XBMP also now supports natively SHOUTcast & Icecast playlists (. pls) 5. 3 Audio Visualizations XBMP includes Audio Visualization (using Goom visual effects generator).
