Hey Dink as you have mentioned the beeb are using some of your programming in theirs, can't you sort of use it back?

No windows workaround at the moment... would need a get_iplayer.exe (linux centre are not hosting anymore!!) to be able to play with the get_iplayer.cgi.... (which i think would need perl and apache on a windows machine?) gonna look at it this w/e.... but i have never played with porting stuff from deb to windows so i can't promise my fiddling with cygwin will come to anything, but its an interesting project? nah... more something to play with
not that i have any clue what i'm doing!!

After I've uploaded the new version (folder not named XBMC) to my Xbox, I rename the old 'XBMC' folder to 'XBMC (Old)' then rename the new version 'XBMC'.
Move a copy of my old 'guisettings.xml' and the 'sources.xml' from 'UserData' folder to the new one and delete all files from the 'TDATA' and 'UDATA' folders in the 'E' folder.
Move fresh downloads of plugins to their respective folders for 'video', 'programs' etc.... (Example: iPlayer would be a fresh download and put into 'video' in the 'plugins' folder), then move a copy of the old 'plugin_data' (In 'UserData') folder to the new upload.
It works for me every time, and if the new install is no good, then I just rename my old install back to 'XBMC and because everything is there it works as before. (I always delete the files from 'TDATA' and 'UDATA' folders every time I change the version)

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8971
and it'll all work fine, on every platform.

I've ftpd exobuzz's folder as well as the old user data and plugins files but I can't rename the old "xbmc" folder via filezilla.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong and point me to a solution ?
Many thanks

I also have a build with some patches from the librtmp guys for linux, but currently it crashes. I was about to discuss this with the patch creator when the site went down. His patches are on trac anyway. search for rtmp.
looking at implementing the automatic hash generation stuff similar to what librtmp uses with the xbox build too.
exobuzz Wrote:Tis a bug in those revisions regarding icons. There is a fix now on svn. I need to do a new build for you. At least, it "could" be the bug that has just been fixed.

Also... a note to anyone else about to delete the Udata and Tdata folders... that's where any game saves appear to be kept ! I was 2/3 the way through GTA Vice City and now I have to start from the beginning again :-(
Ah well, it's worth it to get iPlayer back !
Incidentally, the display looks slightly different to the original version, e.g. the colours seem just *slightly* out, and it looks a bit too 'zoomed in'. Is there any chance this could be down the fix Buzz ? - or am I just putting the wrong set of specs on ?
