hi all.
i'm putting my second x-box in my car, connected to my navi lcd.
it'll be used for video, when i'll be stopped or when the passenger looknig at, and for this is enough the remote...
but when i'm alone it'll be used for music. i can start a random song when xbmc start... but i'll be really better if i can resume the last song and start form when it stopped.
i can understand that, since i "kill" the power, the xbox cannot remember the time... but at least the last song in the playlist or in the folder i'm playing...
ok, amplying...
the best thing at all will be:
build a system mode, whe can call it "car mode", with this:
1) modified skin, without graphic, but better navigation, grater font and a little place with the album cover, or the equalizer, or the video playing... in car you have a small lcd, from 4" to 7" usualy...
2) a system that, during playing, record in the hd the track playing, the configuration, and, second by second, the time of the track, so, when i shutdown, i always have track of my music, and when i power on, i auto-resume the song and start playing... with all the parameters i was using...
3) an additional system info. in car i can use th xbox as a pc, using it for storing info i can need in my car. witch info?
contacts, most of all with the address and the indication for driving right into their kitchen....
for who don't have a navi the map and driving info... imagine, i go on...
http:://www.viamichelin.com ? i search for a driving direction, then i save the html page and move this to the xbox. then i simply scroll down the page and have all the info i need...
text reader...
simply plug-n-play for usb connection... and copying file tool from usb to hd...
photo viewer...
3) (cooool) a sync system. i can plug my ethernet cable or, better, use my wireless lan, to sync all the hing i want: music, video, games, images, info...
this can also be used in home, specialy for who can connect xbox to small lcd video and use this as an hi-fi...
this is enough for you?!?!?
