After more then a years work, XBMC, the home media dashboard for the original Xbox has been released!
Version 3.5 brings a whole lot of bugfixes and improvements, most importantly, video playback.

DVDPlayer updates

DVDPlayer (The main video player in XBMC4Xbox) has received numerous changes, including having the FFMpeg core libraries updated to v1.2.8 which brings a variety of new codecs, bug-fixes, and optimisations from the previous 0.10.x version. The libraries used for DVD navigation have also been updated which should bring better compatibility with problematic DVD menus.

PAPlayer updates

PAPlayer (the core audio player in XBMC4Xbox) has received some updates since the last version of XBMC4Xbox. DVDPlayer’s FFMpeg libraries are now used for decoding of some audio formats which means some of the old out of date libraries we used previously are no longer needed. This simplifies maintenance, and brings with it better performance and compatibility. The FFMpeg libraries are now used for OGG, FLAC, AAC, AC3,and DTS.

The XBMC team also has decided not to rename XBMC to Kodi for the original xbox cause it would only lead to more confusion.

I have a softmodded XBOX but haven't done anything with it, just burned a few games to disc. Is there any posts around here you recommend I read to use something like XBMC4Xbox, or just to get homebrew running?
