Changes since v0.7.5 Mod

• Fixed a timesync related bug that appears during media with no durations - Thanks Kick In Da D0oR

Changes since v0.7.3 Mod

• Fixed a bug which caused the PSP to autosync every 100ms while currently displaying a picture (my bad)
• Changed button to exit out of remote control to the home button.
• Optimised images and made them blit correctly (alpha when it needs alpha)
• Even though the screenpops up asking to exit the app, it shouldnt effect playback
• Was a bit late to release this because I havent much time lately to continue on the next release of XBMC RI
• So just incase I vanish off the interweb, Id thought id at least fixed a few issues.

For installation and other technical stuff don't forget to read the readme file (its the one titled RTFM.txt). And as a special bonus you can watch the XBMC Remote Interface v0.7.6 Mod in action!

trex6662k5 is back with a minor update to to his mod of Jonny2002's XBMC Remote Interface released earlier. Previously, XBMC Remote Interface 0.7b Mod v0.7 featured a lot of fixes for the rather buggy app version. But with all those gltiches firmly plugged this version fixed one more troublesome issue:

• Script crashed when xbox password entered fixed

XBMC Remote Interface 0.7b Mod is a homebrew that allows an interface between the PSP and a modified Xbox running Xbox Media Center. This provides an alternate interface to the Xbox Media Center to play films and music, display images and view file information when available (artist, track title, album title, genre, year, movie name and genre, etc) , turn off Xbox wirlessly via the PSP. Nice, eh?

Please read the readmefile for more info about this app.

PSP coder trex6662k5 has once again added more modifications and fixes to his mod of Jonny2002's XBMC Remote Interface, . Here's a rundown of what's new in v0.7:

• Index.lua is now system.lua in system folder
• Thumbnail path is now no longer fixed
• Fixed a mistype which caused the script to crash when adding a folder to playlist
• Removed that annoying sound that played everytime you pressed a direction key
• Button to play DVD (option to automatically switch to remotecontrol after pressing)
• Button to restart XBMC (By using new left shoulder button modifier)
• Fixed the play timer so it gives you a very slightly inaccurate position of musicvideo
• Fixed the issue with getcurrentlyplaying with a Time of nil
• Left shoulder button modifier
• - holding the left shoulder button in combination with others will trigger alternative actions
• - Currently (holding left trigger)
• - Left and Right (Previous and Next, (for music, videos or picutures))
• - Up and down (on shutdown button will cycle though 2 available options, restart or shutdown xbox)
• - Cross (sync with the xbox)
• Static writing which were drawn at runtime
• - Writing which remained from V0.2 in the remote control screen
• - Writing at the top of the main screens
• - Have now been moved to the background PNGs
• - A mild performace increase
• neatened code (well in my eyes anyways) and reorganised functions and made less use of variables
• - A mild performace increase
• Reduced the length of the now playing scroller which caused most lag and timeouts if it were too long
• - A HUGE performance increase

Since a few people ran into some problems installing this, here's how you do it:

Copy the "XBMC RI 0.7" folder to :/PSP/GAME. Now, the XBMC Remote Interface Mod v0.7 archive contains three folders: the first one is the "XBMC RI 0.7" while the other two are folders containing Eboots for firmware version 1.0 and 1.5 respectively. Depending on your PSP's firmware, copy the approriate folder to the same folder you copied "XBMC RI 0.7" to. It may complain about overwriting files due to same folder name but it will copy the required EBOOT over. XBMC's web interface must also be enabled for the app to work.

For some of you who own both a PSP and an Xbox (yes, surely there's got to be some of you out there), here's a cool homebrew to bring both consoles together. What this does is allow an interface between the PSP and your modified Xbox running Xbox Media Center. Jonny2002 released the first two versions way back when, during the early part of this year. But this time around, trex6662k5 added a bunch of modifications.
