legal reasons why they can't do it themselves, but there is no reason that a third party couldn't stand up and set it up themselves. trust me if i had the bandwidth and server power i would do it myself, i could really care less about the repercussions. lately the worst they have done is kindly asking the party to stop. not to mention it's current availibility! seriously what's the difference!

well, we all know that this will never be done by team xbmc
but what if they wrote in the code for an auto updater, that could be easily configured, and the distibution team could go ahead and set it up.

but, would you want to update xbmc on daily basis?

how does avalaunch do this? i am pretty sure that they have that feature.

**pike** · 2004-11-15, 20:01

ava only updates public versions, and there hasnt been one in quite a while...

i agree with mixman101... if the feature was bulit into xbmc, *someone* would be posting the binaries for autodl.

seriously... not like it is tought to find "the usual place" i always did think it was presumptious for people to call it that thinking they were hiding something.

i'd like to see and autodl for both binaries and skins.

dev team... if you built it, they will post it Wink

this can be all done with a python script. if people really wanted it done, they could have done it ages ago.

can that be possibly that xbmc automatally updates itself?

[email protected] · 2004-12-09, 13:18

not possilbe since xbmc cant be complied into binarys, with out the use of the microsoft xdk. they would have to be hosted somewhere.

xbmc is the best soft on xbox.
but... there're a lot of version and when you install one, you must configure all, and... 3 days after a new release comes Angry

so you've to re-configure all
is it possible to add a update fonction (as in unleashx) where you don't have to re-configure all?
it's one of little things who can change all.

there is no need to reconfigure all. no need to overwrite your xml or remove your 0face008 dir. only do that if you are running into issues. doing a fresh install is the recommended way to avoid any potential issues.

yes, you're right but if you want to add new features on xbmc, maybe we will have to change the xml. and we don't know when you add features. that's why just overwriting the xml can cause some problems (i don't know very well, it isn't my job^^).
thanks for a reply

thought i suggested this ages ago?

Rusty45398 · 2005-01-11, 19:47

ok its pretty obvious that there will be no supprt from the dev team for auto update xbmc which is understandable. but what about auto updates for the xbmc scripts?? thats something that you can just download from the website and they seem to change a lot.

by the way i know script updating was a suggestion in this post..... but why havnt they made one just for scripts?

that's a a separate discussion, please keep that discussion in this other thread (link) instead, tia
