Interesting service. It's strange I never heard about them. I think it will be possible to implement something.

I had plans to use PyExtractor. It's Java project that is basically Unofficial YouTube API. They impemented parsing of YT HTML pages and extracting data of interest from them (i.e. link of clip, number of likes, comments etc.). If I'm not mistaken this "invidious" API is something similar? If they can return me url for videos, I can make this to work. Also if I have option to select video quality, i would hardcoded it 240p/360p and we can bypass need of PC API with ffmpeg? It could be xbox-only plugin.

Thanks. I have plans to create YouTube in some future, but that will be pain in the ass because official Kodi YT addon is very difficult to get working. You need personal access token and some keys. But I don't know when I will create that plugin, my next big project will be Skin for XBMC4Xbox which will try to replicate Xbox Series X/S UI-a.

Hi guys. New updates. I posted video on YouTube to be a proof that this isn't a fake. I have also implemented new Script for searching Subtitles but it's on develpoment branch and currently not ready for use. You can expect new update around middle of april. This is a small recap of stuffs I've done in the past few days: Refactored PC frontend Refactored PC backend Buffering of video file Script for searching subtitles (currently only OpenSubtitles are supported) Important things that have to be done in future: Implementation of moving 'MOOV ATOM' to beggining of video file (this will fix torrents that won't play unless they are downloaded 100%) Settings GUI for Subtitles script Searching TV Show torrents that represents whole season and extracting one particular episode (this will fix problem of seeders for older tv shows) Implementation of new TPB API scraping algorithm because current that I've used is offline 64MB Xbox optimisation (if possible) And last word, I have bad news for 64MB xboxes users. This script works fine in 64MB, but if you want to start playback of movie it will freeze Xbox if it's under 10MB usage of memory. XBMC4Xbox takes about ~28MB of RAM, XBMC4Xbox playback (DVDPlayer/Mplayer) takes about ~15MB which and when you open main page of this Script it takes about ~8MB. That leaves only about ~15MB for this script, and opening only two new Windows leaves almost without memory (between 0 and 1MB), and in most cases Xbox will freeze. I hope that @Rocky5 or developer of XBMC4Xbox BuZZ can hive some hints how can I reduce usage of memory. Another aproach would be plugin, but then we won't have this fancy UI.

Did you use BGA Reballing Station for taking off and putting new CPU or it can be done with just preheater and some Hor Air station?

Follow link from last post in that Topic. On that link you'll find how to install FFMpeg on Windows. After that converting is simple. Open folder where your video file is located, in address bar type CMD and press enter, and in command prompt enter: ffmpeg -i name_of_your_video_file.mkv -scodec copy -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 3000k -maxrate 5000k -bufsize 4096k -s 1280x720 -f matroska -y name_of_output_file.mkv

I have also one question. In config file there is USEUSEALLMEMORY=0. Is that typo and should be USEALLMEMORY=1 or should I leave it USEUSEALLMEMORY=1?

How to install FFmpeg on Windows You can follow tutorial on link above to install ffmpeg on your Windows. It works on Win7 and Win8. Problem is only with Win10 which I don't know why. I will try to investigate it and fix it, and also I will try to add ffmpeg so user need to manually install ffmpeg.

Yes, there is problem with Windows. For some reason it's not using ffmpeg.dll that came with build. I tried installing FFmpeg manually, but after that I get same error as described here Error: spawn UNKNOWN. No wonder that some people call windows "Windblows" or "Shitblows" On linux you need to have installed ffmpeg but most Linux distributions came preinstalled with it and on macOS you can use brew to install it. If someone can try on Windows 7/8 with ffmpeg installed and give results it could be useful. Nex two weeks I'm busy with mu studies, but after that I will investigate more on this and fix this error on Windows.

Can you tell me which movie did you try? Honesly, I didnt try on Windows. My main OS is Linux. I will try on Windows and see if there are some libs that needs to be installed separately. Node.js isn't required if streams are working on VLC and PC app is starting. From log of XBMC I would say that there are some problems with FFmpeg.

I described everything in attached pdf of first post, please read it. Xbox app is script for XBMC4Xbox which uses TMDB API to fetch and show data. When you want to watch something that's where PC app kicks in. It's offers torrent search engine similar to one that is used for Elementum addon (i.e. PopCorn uses only YTS.MX, but Elemenutm use couple of providers which offers high quality videos), torrent streaming server engine (similar to WebTorrent, but I use torrent-stream which peerflix uses) and ffmpeg which convet from H.264/H.265 to 720p/H.263 which stock Xbox is capable of playing. I'll try to explain on PopCorn Time app. PopCorn Time have to important parts: frontend and backend. Frontend is what you see when use app. When you click on Watch button, that is backend. So knowing that, you could look this app like this. Xbox app (script for XBMC4Xbox) is frontend, and PC app (PC API) is backend. I could make all of this to work on Xbox but main problem is that 99% of video torrents uses H.264/H.265 which stock Xbox can't handle. That's the reason why PC API is necessearly, to convert to format that Xbox can play with acceptable video quality.

Some guys on Facebook group had problem playing certain movies. Problem is the way how file is downloaded. Some videos are downloading from begin to start and that videos don't have problem. But some videos are downloaded in wrong order (first middle, then end, after that begging) and for that videos you need to wait to download fully complete and only after that you can play it. Qucik workaround is to use YTS releases or WEBRip releases from streaming sites like Netflix, HBO, Amazon prime etc. With this file in 80% situations you won't have problem. For TV Shows there is no problem like with movies, because almost all series came from some streaming services. But problem with TV Shows is that my algorithm for search look only for query in format "TV_SHOW_NAME SxyExy" (i.e. The Witcher S02E03). For newer series thats not problem, but for older series is problem because most older series came in one package which contains all episodes from one season and my algorithm does not find that torrents. And if it finds torrent in given query format it will return no results or will return some torrents with low number of seeders. Currently there is no workaround, wait for me to implement new search logic for TV Shows which will look for season package and extract from it particular episode.

Thanks!!

Hi guys. I am proud to release first version of my app for streaming movies and tv shows on Original Xbox. How this started, how this works and all informations you can find on attached file in this post or there Stream Movies & TV Shows. In attached file you also have in-detail tutorial how to setup everything. Currently you have basic funcionalities, but I have a plan throughout a year to implement much more but I don't make any promises. There are three main tasks that I have to do before anything else, and that would be: Implement support for Subtitles. By that I mean building addon/script for OpenSubtitles API After implementing subtitles, a HUGE code refactoring and organization need to be done because currently this is a MESS that somehow works, especially frontend of PC API And after code refactoring, I need to implement better algorithm for searching Movies and TV Shows For TV Shows most newer series don't have problem, but old series (ex. from 2010) are packed in one torrent file which represents one season, and my current algorithm only search querys im format "name s0xe0x" which for old series return no results or return episode which have only couple seeders For Movies search works good, but sometimes it gives wrong result. I will fix this in same way that Elementum addon for Kodi does. Find resulsts by name, name + year, tmdb id and imdb id, remove duplicates and sort by seeders. This seems easy but it's not. And after everything said above is done then I will slowly try do add new funcionalities to the fronted (i.e. all HTTP comands of XBMC4Xbox) GITHUB From here you can download and find newer releases IMAGES Indroduction_Setup_Guide.pdf

Does anyone know how much is shipping to Germany?

When soldering chips to motherboard I used 390C. When I was taking chips from motherboard with SMD heat gun I used 370C.

Hello to all. Chips arrived a long time ago, but first try wasnt succesfull and I give up on it. Last few days I had some spare time and I tried it again, and on my luck I made it! So I will first say what was I doing wrong first time. When it comes to soldering iron you don't need some high quality like Hakko, I have used some chinease Baku shit. The key to succesfull upgrade is high quality flux. First time I used sam garbage from eBay. This time I used some high-end flux (bought it in my country for 10$ and it's from Poland) and that makes things a lot easier. Allign chip on board, put flux, on your iron put just a little solder and easily slide through pins. If some pins gets connected just put more flux on that spot, put iron in rosing soldering flux, clean it, and try to remove connection. Sometimes it will need a few attempts, but with patience it will get removed. Now, on internet I see comments that you can mix all types of Samsung chips, but that's not true. I bought chips from AliExpress (you have link in second post of this topic) and they won't work on motherboard V1.0. Chips on my V1.0 were Samsung with last letter being M. Chips from AliExprees are ending with F letter. On V1.6 boards chips are ending with letter F. I have't tried to to remove all chips from my board and put all chips from Ali on it maybe that way F chips will work on V1.0. In the end I bought working Xbox V1.0 for under 5$ (they are really inexpensive in my country) take ram chips from it and put it on my board. Now, I have question for you. Which BIOS do you recommend for Xboxes with 128MBRAM? Xecuter X2.5035 or iND-BiOS.5003? Before this mod I was using EvoX M8+ but after flashin it back from XBlast OS I see that EvoX doesnt support 128MB RAM mod.

Thanks. I will try that when I get hands on another Xbox. I will post results.

Hello, thanks for answer. Well, I tried on four different WII2HDMI adapters and problem persists on all of them. I order two white, and two black. Two pairs are from eBay, and other two are from AliExpress. Maybe all of them are in some way defected, but I don't think so. I also tried on my BenQ 27" FullHD monitor and problem is same so I definitly know that TV isn't problem. Boards inside WII2HDMI are little differnt from board shown in your YT tutorial, but PINOUT is same. Do you maybe have a link from where you bought yours WII2HDMI?

Finally RAM chips arrived. I have SMD Rework Station, and I want to ask which temperature I should use? I have range from 200C to 450C.

Hello everyone. Today I received WII2HDMI from eBay and I tried HDMI mod. It works, sort off. A have problem witch screen brightness, it's somehow darker with WII2HDMI and I don't know why. Here is comparsion (left picture is WII2HDMI, and right picture is how it should be): Does anyone have ideas what could be problem?

Thanks for your answer. I bought RAM chips from site you linked. A will post my results in two months when chips arrive.

Hello everyone! I want to perform RAM upgrade on my Xbox but I don't know which RAM I should buy. Here is the picture of the RAM from my Xbox: SAMSUNG K4D263238F-QC50 So my question is which RAM should I buy? I found a couple of RAM chips on ebay and AliExpress but I don't know are they going to work on my Xbox. Here is the list: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32890729020.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.7efb2e0eCU8Qyr https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-Samsung-K4D263238M-QC50-128M-DDR-SDRAM-1PCS-NEW/123866715285 And, thanks in advance!
