Hi members,
How are you all.. hope things are well..
Ive been busy as always with the server upgrades etc etc but in the downtime i started a nice little project for our members to use and get involved with.
Ive spent my relaxation time (lol) creating a XBMC RSS browser from the entire HQ network. Thats right.. So you can browse:
- Xbox-Hq.Com
- 360-Hq.Com
- Pc-Hq.Com
- AIDeluxe.Com
Like that??? Well it has even more.. Im still scripting right now and its nearly complete for release.. wohoo hoo.. muuuhaa
If you have some .mp3 media or any other audio files just dump them into the E:\Media\Music\ or F:\Media\Music\ directory (depending what sized hdd you have) and our browser will play randomly when you start using it.
This new script is a MUST HAVE for any hardcore HQ member..
anyway, heres the full list of features so far:
HQ XBMC Browser features v1.0:
- Browse Xbox-Hq, Forums, News, Downloads, Homebrew, Games and Xbox Tutorials. You can view all text, date's it was submitting and keep up with whats new on our site.
- Browse 360-Hq, Forums, News, Downloads, Homebrew, Games and Xbox Tutorials. You can view all text, date's it was submitting and keep up with whats new on our site.
- Browse PC-Hq, Forums, News, Downloads, Games and Tutorials. You can view all text, date's it was submitting and keep up with whats new on our site.
- Browse AIDeluxe News and soon active topics.
- Plays your preferred playlist or will randomly play audio tracks located in F:\Media\Music when the browser is started.
- AIDeluxe 3 will have a new button to start the HQ Browser..
- Hope i will add even more features as i learn more and more about python scripting.
if anyone would like to beta test before the release please reply to this post and contact me

Hobbs, What version of XBMC are you using? I get the feed at the bottom of mine but can't get anything else to work. Damn, if I could only get it to work... _________________________________________________________

I can confirm that this works on the very latest version of XBMC as of 2 yesterday and it looks great and works perfectly, except for one hiccup. It won't look at 360-hq.com, as for the rest of them, it works perfect.

yup.. im sure its just dns issues..
The program itself works fine.. I just need to fix some of the xml feeders on the HQ sites which are php..
So no biggie.. I find it interesting scrolling through some of the topics etc..
I will only get better as i read up more about python.. I have a 800page book ehre.. mmm.. nice reading.. lol
you must have your DNS settings in your XBMC network setup matching your pc's DNS.. The gateway on your XBMC network setup should equal (=) your router or computer sharing the internet (ip address).
hope that all makes sense.. Ive been coding the past few days and havent been typing much else.. lol
everyone else just configure your dns and then try the script.

hey enigmah,
check your XBMC network setup on the xbox..
Make sure all the settings match those from your pc or router..
Its that simple.. Try install XBMC from the latest AID3 too..
Im using very old versions and the one from AID3 too and it works perfect..
DJB will add the HQ Browser to the next release of AID anyway and it will auto configure itself.
