【轉載】讓XBOX成為真正的多媒體播放器 - XBMC
轉載自http://www.hope.com.tw/Art/Show2.asp...056071245&L=TM
XBMC能夠讓您的XBOX機能，完全地發揮出來，成為一個真正的家庭多媒體中心。 XBMC的全名為Xbox Media Center，意即Xbox多媒體中心。這是由一群名為XBMC團隊所開發出來的一個GPL軟體，並指定給微軟所推出的電視遊樂器Xbox所使用。 Xbox為一台電玩專用的主機，但在微軟的設計之下，它潛藏著許多不為人知的功能。舉例來說，它本身有著CPU、硬碟、DVD光碟、Modem和網路卡等。玩家級的讀者從上述的組件應該可以看出來一些端倪，那就是Xbox是一個準系統的主機。所以目前有許多駭客都在發展修改Xbox的程式，而一些Linux的玩家則乾脆將主機修改成Linux作業系統，XBMC團隊就是其一。 XBMC是個強大的多媒體中心，為什麼說它是個媒體中心，而不是多媒體播放器呢？因為它不但有著播放多種影音格式的軟體功能（如MPEG -1/2/4、DivX、XviD、MP3等格式），更能夠管理Xbox裡面的檔案內容。這些檔案內容包括影像檔、音樂檔、圖檔，甚至連遊戲的檔案都可以做管理，所以它也可說是一個檔案管理中心。 到目前為止，Xbox是功能最強大的電玩主機。它本身除了有733 MHz的CPU之外，還可讓玩家自行替換硬碟（這需要有組機的經驗），而這也是重點所在。因為Xbox所附上的硬碟只有8 GB，對於一些遊戲或以avi電影檔為主的檔案，動不動就超過1 GB，而8 GB的容量對使用者來說，會嫌少了一點。尤其在XBMC的應用下，依照影音玩家的習慣，不管是儲存影音或遊戲檔，絕對會把硬碟給灌滿，所以硬碟的容量越大，也就能夠越能顯出XBMC的強大功用。 XBMC的特色還有讓Xbox外接電視的規格符合NTSC或PAL、支援（16：9）的寬螢幕、支援HDTV（480p/720p/1080i）、支援VGA的外接模式（電腦螢幕），以及支援光纖音源（S/PDIF optical）。從上面的特色看來，XBMC的重點是注重影音輸出的品質。 XBMC使用起來非常地簡單，除了控制是改成Xbox的操控手把以外，其它的都是以視覺化來作管理。雖然XBMC是個GPL和免費的軟體，但是XBMC團隊卻只提供原始碼，並不提供程式，其原因不外乎是想要避開微軟的版權問題。使用者假如對這個軟體有興趣，可以利用SDK等組合語言的工具來將這些原始碼組合起來，成為一個Binary檔來使用。不會使用組合語言的使用者也不用太擔心，因為可以使用不同的P2P軟體（如Emule、eDonnkey 2000、BT等）來下載這個軟體的完成版，或是到其它的檔案下載網站（大多為國外的網站）去搜尋這個軟體就行了。 對於以GPL名義來發佈的XBMC，使用者可以自行修改這個程式，或是加入各種不同的外掛程式，讓XBMC的功能更為完善與強大。  ＜資料來源：http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/＞

What's Up With Xbox Media Center
February 11, 2005 Xbmc Script Highlights As Xbmc news slows a bit I thought that I would take the time to highlight some of the better scripts out there available for Xbmc. These contributions are a piece of the heart and soul that is the Xbmc community. They extend Xbmc in tons of ways and in the case of the Apple Quicktime Browser, they put content where it belongs. AQT Browser The Apple Quicktime Browser was one of the first impresive scripts that really showed us that great content could be pulled from the web and placed right on our televisions.  The script allows you to browse 5 different ways: Now Playing - Lists movies currently in theaters Exclusive - Lists movies that are exclusive to Apple's site Newest - Lists some of the newest available trailers Distributor - Lists movies by their distributor (Dreamworks, Paramount, Disney) Show All - Lists every available trailer The script is pretty solid but it does have its quirks. Every once in a while you may find that the script is unable to retrieve the link to a movie's trailer. This can be overcome by finding the trailer in another section or even waiting a few days for the Apple site to change. Overall, if you don't have this script installed, you're missing out on a ton of great free content. As we move into the summer movie season, this is a MUST have on anyone's Xbmc. Gametrailers Browser Gametrailers.com has become quite a source of content over the last year. They've gone from a hacked up site with videos, to a real player with tons of traffic. It was only a matter of time before someone created a script for them. The Gametrailers script is set up a bit like the AQT Browser, except it looks a bit nicer. You are welcomed with featured content at the home screen of the script. The trailers are then broken down into sections available for browsing a bit like the AQT Browser. The script allows you to browse 5 different ways: Featured - Highlighted new games Newest - Newest available trailers Coming Soon - Highlights of games soon to be released Most Popular - Trailers viewed the most by visitors List All - Lists every available trailer Along with the different viewing options, Gametrailers Browser allows some downloading options as well. You are able to either stream the trailers or download them completely and then watch. This is for our slower bandwidth users. You are also given the option to save the trailer to watch later. Overall, the Gametrailers script is great. The website provides some pretty good content including a currently running awards show. This is another script that is a must have on your Xbmc setup. This is just a sample of what is currently out there. Skins for all scripts are of course available from Chokemaniac. Stay tuned for more scripts.

另外再稚薦一套程式，可以不用辛苦上傳檔案到XBOX就可以直接利用網路線直接播放電腦中的MP3/圖片/視訊(AVI/DIVX/MPG/RMVB...)
ccxstream is a streaming media server for xbox media center. Why use ccxstream when XBMC supports SMB? I dunno. It feels faster than SMB. I've also noticed stutters in video playback over SMB on high-bitrate videos, and I don't seem to have those problems with ccxstream or xbms. Besides, it's how my xbox is already configured, and I wanted to move stuff off my dedicated pc server to a NSLU2.  To make this all work, you'll need a modded xbox with Xbox Media Center loaded, and have installed the ccxstream package.
