_MESSAGE FROM T3CH__________________________________________________________
Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to wait for Beta 1 to be tagged before I made this release.
Team Razorfish's MediaStream skin updated to 0.91
I will no longer include the Win32.exe that was only meant as a skinning and python development tool. Instead I suggest you use the
WIN32/SDL version based on linuxport branch. You can find more info about it here: http://xbmc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=59 (see the sticky for download).

_NOTEWORTHY SVN CHANGES SINCE LAST T3CH (according to T3CH)_________________
New this time is PM3.HD a High Def skin by Jezz X that IMO only looks better than PM3 in 720p and higher.

If you want to remove the startup sound, remove start.wav from the /skin/Project Mayhem III/sounds/ folder.

_APPLICATION INSTALL________________________________________________________
Fresh Install: Transfer whole XBMC folder to your APPS folder (or where you want it).

Upgrade: Backup the XBMC/UserData folder. Transfer whole XBMC folder to Xbox. Overwrite UserData folder with your backed up copy.

_DASHBOARD INSTALL (SOFTMODS)_______________________________________________
ARE NOT COVERED IN THIS README, SEE http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=406656

_DASHBOARD INSTALL__________________________________________________________
Option 1. Team XBMC's shortcut tool.
It's included in the _tools folder as SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe + SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg.
Instructions here: http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=As_a_Dashboard (Option 1).
Rename the SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe+.cfg & also EDIT the .cfg so it matches your config.
See APPLICATION INSTALL above.

Option 2. Thanks to an app called Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0 by JbOnE, it's now easy...
Transfer contents of XBMC folder (this is VERY important since the tool is hardcoded) TO /E:/APPS/XBMC/.
Rename SHORTCUT by TEAM UIX.xbe to something your bios can boot (see http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=As_a_Dashboard or read your BIOS README) and transfer to location your mod solution boots. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you need not to worry about this file (unless you move XBMC).

_AN INTRODUCTION TO PLUGINS_________________________________________________
XBMC has a system for Media plugins to allow browsing of remote content (Internet) using the regular filesystem approach.
Plugins are put inside XBMC/plugins// (I already do this for the one/s I include),
furthermore they also need to be installed as a source in (video/music/pictures).
You do this install by using the contextmenu choice Add New Source while in ROOT list and then choosing ***Plugins as source.
Then you highlight (not select) the folder of the plugin you want to install. It will be saved inside sources.xml for future.

_UPGRADE TIPS_______________________________________________________________
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
o Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build (sometimes you need to delete old files)
o Delete old settings (from UserData/guisettings.xml)
o In some rare cases some of the database files in /UserData/Database/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!

_TWEAKS BY T3CH_____________________________________________________________
I'm including a prepared favourites.xml that has all my included scripts. Don't handedit this file, use GUI to add/move/remove items.
