[. . . ] To use localized font, place a subtitle-font. ttf file inside the MEDIA Folder, and uncheck the "Use MPlayer subs" option in General Settings. XBMP also supports compressed VobSub subtitles (rar) (Small files only (~6MB) because of memory constraints!) 3. 8 Filename Filters Under General Settings, there is an option called "Filter using video and music file name conventions". When selected, this option will change filenames to something more easy to read. The conventions can be applied to both music and video files. "dvd-dvl-star_wars_ii. avi" to "star wars ii" "Hoobastank ­ 10 ­ Crawling in the Dark. mp3" to "Crawling in the dark" Note. Everything before the last hyphen will not be displayed. 3. 9 Multi File Stacking Multi-file stacking is used to play multi part clips as a single file, this way it's not needed to manually change to the next part when the first one ends. To use this, Multi-file stacking first must be enabled under Settings, in the General Settings, and then, the filename must be XX­ CD1. avi and XX­CD2. avi (note there is no space between the "-" and the "CD#") Go back to Index Once a file is properly named, the player will only show the first part, but give an option to play the desired part of the movie (as indicated by the CD icons, top right). 3. 10 DLL Codec's Some files, such as QuickTime, Real Media or Windows Media 9, require DLL's to be played. At this moment, Windows Media files are played and QT and RM have limited playback. 3. 11 IMDb support If you have an active internet connection on your Xbox, you can access information on movies from "the Internet Movie Database" (See more in 7. 6 IMDb Information). 3. 12 Skins You can now alter the look and feel of your XBMP installation by changing its skin. You simply overwrite the appropriate files with ones from your preferable skin. To download new skins please refer to AllXboxSkins. Go back to Index 4. My Programs My Programs is used to launch XBE files, real useful if using XBMP as a dashboard replacement. With XBMP's cover function, programs are easy to identify, as you can specify a cover for any XBE or Shortcut as you would for a Music/Video clip. The "Play DVD-ROM" tries to launch D:\default. xbe, this way you can easily launch games. If a disc is not present, it will then load the default dashboard. 4. 1 Shortcuts Shortcuts are used to `call' programs located in other drives/folders (Evox, or the MS Dash for example). Shortcuts can also make My Programs look less cluttered, as it will only show the files you wish. To make a shortcut file, open a text editor and edit like this: <shortcut> <path>Harddisk0\Partition1\apps\xbplayer\default. xbe</path> </shortcut> After editing the Path, save as "Filename. cut". Place the file on the application folder, it will show up as an ordinary file, but when selected it will run the specified XBE. Partition1 = E: | Partition2 = C: | Partition6 = F: Go back to Index 4. 2 Program Bookmarks Bookmarks let you have different folders for My Programs in different drives or paths.
