hey folks -
another suggestion i have been using for almost a year now:
1. i added a bookmark in my files to one of the usual (ftp) places where the new builds are located... or simply to one of your pcs that has the new build...
2. i copy the file to a local spot on the xbox using my files (say for example e:\apps)
3. i wrote a 3 line script in unleashx's menu to update xbmc (basically backup/rename existing folder, extract new zip build, copy back the essential userdata files)
4. reboot and that it... :-)
so the process for me is: copy new build zip to local hd > launch unleashx and run the update script > reboot and you are done!
this whole process takes about a minute or so and can be done completely from your couch and using your tv remote.
while i am here - big kudos for the dev's for their recent xml configuration files restructuring. it made the whole process much much simpler!
thanks,
a.
