Californiadad Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 When I'm installing an updated version of XBMC, do I just overwrite all the current files? And place them in the same folders?
cba.gy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 kind of, you may wish to save your sources file, rss feeds (if customised).
The-Ice-Man Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Depends if you're keeping old settings or not. You've just started from a blank hard drive right? So you're probably not wanting to save settings. So you can just delete the old XBMC folder, and replace it with the new one. If you did want to save settings, you'd just need to keep the userdata folder. All the rest should be deleted and replaced.
Californiadad Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah like you said, its a fresh HD, So Ill just R&R the folder.Thanks guys.
The-Ice-Man Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Glad you finally got things sorted with that softmod.
Californiadad Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Oh yeah, just FTP'd the newest version of XBMC, reboot and works like a charm. I'm going to install the Rapier skin for it nest. than finally going to FTP the new CoinOps Showcase emulator. and play some well deserved games!!!!!
cba.gy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Glad you got there in the end, its mostly a hands on learning experience. Its the only way to learn really. As i said before, it gives a better understanding of the file and modification structure which makes maintaining and upgrading software a more successfull task. PS. Transparency skin for XBMC. Say no more. To boot XBMC quicker browse to its media folder and delete the splash pics. And you can also slim the install by removing unused languages. Edited October 29, 2009 by cba.gy
Californiadad Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Oh Transparency, sounds intriguing. I'm looking for it right now. There was another guy here on line that built a few arcade cab's and the way his home screen was SICK. Looked like something you would see in a real arcade. Have you seen the one I'm talking about?
cba.gy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Cant think off hand, i have tried quite a few though. Its down to personal taste really. Sometimes your mind is made up by the ease of navigation through the menus. You have a lot of choice. Install loads and try them out for a day each and see how you get on.
Californiadad Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Man Coin-Ops Showcase is SICK! I love the preview movies. Just wish there was a way to get back to the dash without having to reboot the computer.
jantony Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Cba.gy how long does it take to set up Transparency, I had my eye on that for quite some time now. Looks stunning though, but a pain to set up.
