The XboxMediaCenter Project

XBMC (XBox Media Center) is a free open source (GPL) multimedia-player for the Xbox™ from Microsoft. Currently XBMC can be used to play/view most popular video/audio/picture formats such as DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, XviD, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF, PNG, plus many more less known formats directly from a CD/DVD in the Xbox DVD-ROM drive or from the Xbox built-in harddrive, XBMC can also play multimedia-files from a computer over a local-network and even stream media-streams directly from the internet. XBMC can parse DVD-Video movies (with and without menus) from ISO/IMG-images and even ZIP/RAR-archives. XBMC has playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast and many audio visualizations. XBMC can in addition use python-scripts written for XBMC as plugin widgets. All these features enable the Xbox™ running XBMC to fully function as a multimedia-jukebox. XBMC has a simple anbd user-friendly user-interface, it's easy to use, it's convenient, flexible and offers a great price/performance ratio. (This, The XboxMediaCenter Project is also known as "Xbox Media Center" or simply "XBMC"). Note! XBMC is a hobby project that is only developed by volunteers in their spare-time for free. (Remember that XboxMediaCenter does require a modded Xbox to run on or it will not function).

CVS tree (and daily CVS builds)

The XBMC project developers uses a CVS (version control system) provided by SourceForge.net to keep track of the XBMC source code and changes in those source code files. This allows our developers to be located anywhere in the world and work on the same source code tree, which means that our CVS tree gets updated (with bug-fixes, new features, etc.) by our different developers almost on a daily basis. Anyone can anonymously download the latest CVS source code tree and compile it to try out the current and very latest XBMC build, (there are also individuals and groups on the internet which specialize in releasing such pre-compiled CVS builds so that people who don't have the tools to compile XBMC themselves can download and test/use the latest XBMC). Note! Team-XBMC only release source code and do not release pre-compiled builds of XBMC, nor are Team-XBMC affiliated with any individuals or groups that release pre-compiled builds of XBMC. In addition understand that CVS build can be unstable and buggy so don't complain if they hang/lock or otherwise act in an unsatisfactory way, however feel free to report any bugs you find in the very latest CVS.
