>> A new CVS Compile of XboxMediaCenter(info) has been released.
What's new/fixed (since last CVS release on 04-19):
* added: better xml error reporting.
* added: if xbmc fails to start you can reboot with the start button.
* added: If xbmc can't load it's settings correctly it will go into recovery mode:
- The screen is set to the default res for pal or ntsc as appropriate.
- Error text is displayed informing the user what happened.
- The network is initialised from dash settings, or DHCP if that fails, or static (192.168.0.42/255.255.255.0) if DHCP fails.
- The FTP server is started on port 21 and a default login of xbox/xbox is enabled with access to C: D: and E:
- XBMC will then "hang" leaving the FTP server running, users can FTP in, fix the problem and power cycle to reboot.
