Version 2.2.000 - 28/02/2025
New Features:
1) Enabled PAL60 resolution selection in the Appearance menu.
2) Can now disable the transition effect when logging into/out of a profile.
(Login screen under "Background Option")
3) Custom views are now global or theme-specific.
(If a theme supplies views, they will be used even if global custom views exist, as themes supersede global.)
4) Screenshots in the synopsis window now use "listitem.Synopsis_Screenshot", so a refresh of content may be required.
5) New script to clean the "programs.db" file. This is handy if you have removed games, etc.
6) Themes can now have their own sounds.
7) Can now hide all source buttons on the home screen.
(So if you only want games, you can hide the rest, this will speed up the loading of the home screen.)
8) Added new Xbox LCD option thanks to EqUiNoX.
(https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/XBMC4Xbox/tree/xbox_lcd)
9) Added "CacheThumbnail(source, dest)" so I can cache thumbnails for the home screen.
10) Added "Use cached thumbnails" toggle to the home settings menu.
11) RSS feed added to home screen and a toggle for it under XBMC4Gamers Settings > General Toggles.
12) Added <centerleft>, <centeright>, <centertop> & <centerbottom> as position options.
13) Added support for % for positions.
(this and above it, aren't from from kodi, done my own implementation. There is no centerx etc... may do that another time.)
14) Added auto width for buttons.
15) I now update the database, update all information if coming from pre v2 builds of Gamers. I also clean the database of redundant entries.
(So there should be no more "Why are my posters like this, or my fanart has vanished etc...")
16) New context menu entries and rearranged it a tad. "Edit or Refresh" and "Set Launch XBE" if I find alternative xbe files.
(default_orig.xbe, default480p.xbe, default720p.xbe, default_p.xbe, defaultws.xbe, defaultxhd.xbe and xresizer.xbe)
17) When selecting one of the above from the menu it's store in the Database and loaded every time.
(You can reset it to default.xbe if you wish or if the file doesn't exist is defaults to default.xbe)
18) Views are split into 3 categories, "Detailed", "Standard" & "Custom". Views that rely on resources are now disabled when resources are disabled.
(This make my life easier in the long run and lets folk know what views use resources)
19) New view, similar to the Home screen look.
20) Added skin.setwallpaper so images are resized and cached.
(used to set the wallpaper now, uses the fanartheight value in the advancedsettings.xml for sizing)
21) ListItem.CurrentItem and Container.CurrentItem added to the xbe.
22) Animated fanart, ken burns kinda effect.
23) You can now configure the sizes of _resource images using the advancedsettings.xml
24) CleanViewDB added to xbe, so now views will be cleared when toggling Resources.
25) Profiles will now update the resolution when loaded or unloaded.
(If you use different resolutions for profiles they will now be correct to what the settings say)
26) Now you can access the recents (last played) from the programs menu using the (Y) button
(synopsis is now in the context menu under Information, you can toggle the old behaviour from the programs > advanced menu)
27) Power saving is no longer controlled via the advancedsettings.xml its now under Settings > System > Debugging
(If your xbox hangs due to power saving, hold the black button when you see the splash screen)
28) Random select now added to the xbe, use X when no media is playing to jump to a random item.
29) Added a few new windows to the keymap file to add functionality to a few new windows.
(_Script_URLDownloader (white button forceupdate), Custom_Dialog_Options & Custom_Synopsis)
30) Added back in navigation sounds when media is playing.
(toggle is under XBMC4Gamers Settings > Toggles)
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed the new dialog overlay from spamming (window manager) the log file when reloading a skin.
2) Fixed a typo in the Fight Club patch file.
3) Fixed right and bottom positions <right> & <bottom>.
4) Fixed the database not being setup properly when starting fresh.
5) Fixed some of the views.
Improvements:
1) Redone the synopsis window to be quicker, extended info, can also view screenshots fullscreen and fanart.
2) Made all views not scale the diffuse for folder content.
3) Slight changes to clean thumb script and remove empty save folders.
4) Changed fanart to use new "listitem.synopsis_fanart" variables.
5) Lists labels won’t always auto scroll, they now accept the "<scroll>false</scroll>" element.
6) Moved all items from the home screen to includes, so you can theme everything on the home screen.
7) Default home screen layout randoms now use a fixed list.
8) Updated the "Home Screen Items.py" script.
(Refactoring, and when refreshed only refreshes that source and loads DB into memory on initial boot. This speeds it up dramatically.)
9) Removed the Home custom search items limit, now can add as many as you want.
10) Themes with custom home screens can override the number of items parsed.
(These go at the top of your XML under the "<includes>" tag:
"<parse_lastplayed_total>10</parse_lastplayed_total>"
"<parse_randoms_total>10</parse_randoms_total>"
Note: if they don't exist or are blank, it will default to 10 for each.)
11) Updated the last played stuff in the XBE to fix random hangs when it’s accessing the DB and trying to do other stuff.
12) Redone "DialogSelect", "FileBrowser" & "DialogMediaSource" to match the rest of the dash skin.
(you will need to redownload themes, I have updated them all with the new images and colors)
13) Updated the thumbnail cleaner script to use the new thumbnail cacher function.
14) Added my old screenshot script, type site screenshot into the ftp command line box to take a png screenshot.
15) XBMC4Gamers Settings > Home Screen settings adjusted to keep Home screen stuff within the same menu.
16) Updated "XML Builder.py" to update the view ids dynamically so only what's loaded is there.
17) Updated the fanart stuff, now available on more views (where they look good)
18) Minor update to the View Options menu, fixed some niggles and updated images.
19) View files are renamed to reflect their type and what they are.
(Since I build the view list dynamically I can name then what I want)
20) New keyboard layout.
(it functions better and looks better, windows/Xbox look)
21) Now you will be asked to log off if you press the R3 button (right stick pressed) if login mode is enabled.
22) Fan min temp now sets the fan speed when you're cycling the value.
23) Decreased the imagelib kicking in to 3.5MB so this should give the best of both worlds when running resources.
24) Redone all theme color.xmls, so you will need to redownload themes for them to work properly.
(This makes colouring themes a hell of a lot simpler now)
25) TextureManager and GUILargeTextureManager now processes _resource images and wallpapers using values stored in the advancedsettings.xml
(This saves a few MB for wallpapers and _resource artwork will always be sized correctly even if larger.)
26) Redone the fanart views full screen mode.
27) Refactored most of the scripts, cleaned them up and improved them.
28) Game views now animate when opening and closing windows.
29) Fixed context buttons not showing back when not in the root menu.
30) Added new animation to the login screen when pressing A to load a profile.
31) Disabled the edit profile menu for the "Add User" profile, as this cant be renamed.
32) Now if 1080i is enabled on the system it wont reset it, it just wont use it.
(This lets games and other apps run in 1080i)
Additional:
1) Loads of QOL (Quality of Life) changes.
