that was the point of me suggesting it the way that i did.. an update manager, yes, that has been suggested. my difference, was that the user is responsible for specifying the url. all i was really asking for, was for the mechanism to be put in place, even if for a later date when an open xdk is created.. for now.. some people who choose to take the law into their own hands, could compile it, and share with their friends... there are "usually" places where people put a compiled version, and having your xbox download it, is not necessarily different from using flash fxp to do it. i guess my suggestion was just to make the experience easier and more enjoyable. i don't "require" an update manager, i just thought that a feature request forum would serve two purposes. first is so the users get to point out what they would like to see, and second, the developers get the benefit of added creativity... not that this particular suggestion is all that creative.. but i just thought that having the user specify where the files come from, might be enough to get us around this little obstical. if its been suggested before, apparantly people want it..
thanks for your time...

why not just create a python script that checks the version tag of the current running xbmc. if there is another version (sniped from a rss/xml info source) out there it tells you...
the script doesn’t need to be part of the official xbmc release...
someone could maintain a site with diffs as suggested or complete bins.. since there a people already doing that *wink, wink*.. and then sharing it with xbmc via some of the protocols supported.... a server with a firewalled anonymous samba could work..
another idea is to send commands via raw telnet to an irc server, get 'x clearance' and connect via simple ftp. but then someone needs to get raw telnet and ftp working.. or a program/script following some of the ftp/telnet rfc's that suits our purposes...
i know you guys at xbmc cant really approve of this, but what do all you other people think? :joker:
there could even be a completely separate program doing all of this, compiled like the rest of the 'stuff out there' and put out for public download...

since you guys are always updating the xbmc can u just do function where by users can download straight to the xbox? since we got rss feeds and so forth is it not possible to use this same method to make some download to xbox feature?

i don't know about all of this auto-update with bins stuff, but for those of you who can compile source, i am thinking about making myself a nice little auto-update from source and compile and deploy thing, that gets me the latest cvs every night and uploads it directly after building. if anyone else is interested in this let me know.
read the xbmc
online-manual,
faq and
search the forums before posting! do not e-mail the xbmc-team asking for support!
read/follow the
forum rules! note! team-xbmc never have and never will host or distribute ms-xdk binaries/executables!

i have seen numerous threads on various related sites about a demand for automatic updates. i'm new to this forum and i'm sure that this has already been brought up multiple times but updating my build every day is getting crazy i don't know what goes where and i keep on loosing things.
don't get me wrong i love xbmc we use it for parties all the time! people love it! i even use it as my dashboard.
so anyways i would defininity donate to support the cause if automatic updating could be a possiblity for the future. other than that keep up the good work!

sorry... dumb question removed.
