No, just a different way to get to your themes, as if pushing the guide button, then personal settings then themes was too much.

When you start -anything- it stops the music. But with this new update, you can’t stop the music. Your brother can’t stop the music. Nobody can’t stop the music.

that’s a good point..
i noticed a PROGRESS BAR in the Music Player…if you can see that bar, you should be able to control it by using remote control…
if it doesn’t happen in this update, we can atleast expect that feature in Fall Update!

xbox 360 is set to update twice a year so you can expect upscaling or upsampling in next updates but DivX(most wanted feature) seems to never be supported by Microsoft…
I always wonder “WHY NOT” DivX..if they can support MP3 why not DivX…
i think they’re afraid that DivX might beat WMV format..

that would be awsome!! but i doubt it’s not gonna be UI Designs coz that is supposed to be a MAJOR upgrade to the dashboard and Microsoft must’ve showed it to us in those preview pictures…

well it can’t be simple shortcut to Themes coz theoratically it can’t come under System Blade, rite?

Let’s hope it’s UI Designs as you mentioned..

MCX?

By: Stewart Gliggin Griffin

Stewart Gliggin Griffin — Fri, 26 May 2006 20:36:12 +0000

it’s for your Media Center Extender..it only works if your Media Center PC has a TV Tuner…

hopefully the themes under the system blade will enable us to choose some of the UI designs that were rejected during the process of designing this UI (look on internet, they’re there somewhere)
I would like the sphere type design they had

Oooooooooh. Wonder what him does…

when you start MCX, it stops playing music!!

did anybody notice “Themes” in System Blade??

By: Stewart Gliggin Griffin

Stewart Gliggin Griffin — Fri, 26 May 2006 18:36:20 +0000

no wonder DirectTV blade isn’t coming…
but how many things they’ve saved for fall update? well who knows? we’ll see!!

Is DVD playback better? It REALLY sucked before! They should try and give us upsampled dvd playback… common, it’s a triple core cpu! What not enough power?? And what about DIVX support?

Oh, that sucks. Hoping for a DOAX2 screensaver…

By: YLA G

euhm screensaver is already in it.. its just a dimmer

By: Doug

Doug — Fri, 26 May 2006 14:22:17 +0000

Also, now when you launch your music in the background, it will continue to play no matter what you are doing, even launching a new game or hopping around through the blades.

Finally. Possibly my biggest complaint is having to re-select my music when changing games/demos.

Also…screen…saveeeeeeeeeeeeer? (To the tune of “Ridge Raceeeeeeeeeeer”)

I’m only confused on one thing, aside from the typical “wish they would have added xxxx while they were at it,” and thats that if they were adding ffw / rew support for videos, why not add it in the music player as well?!

By: Nino

Nino — Fri, 26 May 2006 11:58:46 +0000

Yeah me too, I guess they will since this update has been unofficially delayed a couple of times (it was supposed to be available before the E3 if I recall correctly). I assume they took that time to fix the firmware problem.

Sweet update, really liking the musci bit, and the more tidy Marketplace cotent.

Also I hope they flash all the pirates dvd-roms back.

By: Wekko

Looks like a great update. Finally they made a decent DVD/music player so you can actually use the fast forward buttons on the remote.

I’m not human. I don’t even know what weeks are. I don’t sleep, so maybe that’s the problem. I don’t even know what day it is

I just read the original news on majornelson.com.

He actually doesnt say “this week” but “in about a week”.
That´s a difference of one week

By: TobiM2000

TobiM2000 — Fri, 26 May 2006 09:48:26 +0000

Nice to hear they also improved the DVD playback…some DVD´s played quite buggy in PAL and 60Hz.

And the “Boot to dashboard” Option will be enabled from the first second

“This week”? That means today, doesnt it?

By: Studley

Studley — Fri, 26 May 2006 09:20:12 +0000

I’m looking forward to Leeroy Jenkin’s Academy

Lots of cool stuff in there that I wasn’t expecting (like automatically setting status to Away if you don’t touch anything for 15mins).

I wish the dashboard bootup could be a bit cleverer, rather than having to change something in the system settings it would be nice if it did it like Gamecube, i.e. if you hold A when you switch the console on then it goes to dashboard.
