Hmm, I've not had that happen. I know he's re-organized the repo. It used to be on google drive and now it's on mediafire. Update: Now that I think about it, it actually did happen a lot when it was on google. But, I've not had the same happen after he moved it all to mediafire.

XboxMon Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 As usual, I always have trouble installing these things. So I downloaded and created Rocky's XBMC4Gamers folder from his zips, FTPed it over to my OG Xbox's Applications folder, created a profile, ran it, it detected my games, and I got the horizontal boxart wheel of all my games with a bunch of blurred coverart and a blue background. How do I get it looking like dimfil's setup in an earlier post in this topic? I have the Resources4XBMC.rar with all the game stuff, but where do I extract it to?

It will do the same job for you regarding the games!As long as the emulators is concerned, visit the rocky5's github for xbmc4gamers and follow the mentioned link to the artwork. Download the emulators archive and from there on it is straightforward : unzip assets of what you need to the relative folder of the emulator on xbox.

XboxMon Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, dimfil said: xbmc4gamers Well, I ran the updater, copied the content of the "update-files" folder to the "xbmc4gamers" folder then FTPed it to my Xbox, overwriting everything. Didn't appear to change anything. The boxart wheel shows up (I installed that resources pack to each game in my Games folder) but I don't get that nice background art for each game I stop on. Do I have to install those manually? I just get a blue background. Edited November 10, 2018 by XboxMon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimfil Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Did you enable the resources?Did you change to appropriate view? Press the "up" button to display the view options and check... Also, did you install the artwork downloader? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XboxMon Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I posted about an issue I'm having in another topic but since I'm using this resource pack I'll briefly mention it here in case anyone else has the problem. Most of the movies (preview.xmv) play in slow motion with sometimes stuttering sound if I call up a video in the Synopsis menu in XBmc4gamers. These same movies play perfectly in VLC so I know it's not the previews themselves. Anyone else have this problem? XBmc4gamers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBmc4gamers This pack is unofficial and xmv is not 100% supported in XBMC so not all videos will play correctly. Use the official one from the downloader. No videos are included but I plan on hosting all the videos on my server so internet on the Xbox will be required. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So slow xvm video playback is typical for this resource pack and XBmc4gamers and it's not my setup after all. Thanks for clearing that up. I have a crossover cable connected to my Xbox so I can FTP stuff over from my PC (which has wifi). Can I use this to enable internet access for my OG Xbox like I can for my Sony Playstation 3?

XC-3730C Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 XboxMon, Yea, I have about 750 xbox games on my Xbox, and I have XBMC4Gamers installed as well. Most preview videos work, but some ultimately freeze the xbox to where I have to power it off and on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I like my cigar too but I take it out of my mouth at least once in a while! *groucho eyes & eyebrows* I have a modest collection of about 50 games that I ripped from my discs to my HDD. I really like this XBmc4gamers app and I wish I could replace the default boxart wheel view with a video wheel like in XVGM but the author originally wrote it for his kids so they could have multiple accounts and it took on a life of its own. Maybe someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Well I also have 30+ individual home/arcade/handheld emus, lots of homebrew, and many PC ports, other than the Xbox games. If I could figure out how to make my own proper XMV previews, I would make them for all the different emus and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could figure out how to make my own proper XMV previews, I would make them for all the different emus and such. Rocky gave me a link to a batch file XVM conversion program on reddit called Convert to XMV. Maybe he wouldn't mind sharing the googledrive link to it here. I use a program called Boilsoft Video Splitter to cut out sections from longer videos (ie YouTube). Seems like these would be good tools to make XVM files. I wonder why some XVM & WMV files play fine in XBMC4Gamers/XBMC while others don't. I even created an WMV test file since I heard that format is more compatible with XBMC and got the same choppy preview in XBMC4GAMERS.

I enabled it in settings, and pointed to the directory with MP3's, but it won't see them. You need to press "create a playlist" - add your mp3s to this list. Then "enable playback at startup." Then press "Generate random playlist." (all functions above are found in the startup options) I have my music at E/music And my playlist is located here: /E/xbmc/system/UserData/Profiles/Rooftop/playlists/music Edited December 14, 2018 by RoofTop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
