Hi

Just got a xbox and installed XBMC as an app. Will try to make it a dashboard soon if I upgrade the harddisk and some other mods smile.gif. XBMC is a sweet program, still need to get a hang on how to use it.

The thing that is bugging me now is that the time keep reseting to 2002 after I off the xbox. Does the xbox has something like a internal battery (like a PC) and the battery has lost all it power or is this a normal behavior for xbox (ie cannot retain the time) - as I see you can get the time from NTP .

Thanks in advance.

xbox got no internal battery....
once u install the dashboard, hopefully ur xbox is connected to ur streamyx router, enable internet time sync on ur xbmc....
i cant personally tell u where coz i dont have mine with me right now...
although u already enable time sync through streamyx, everytime u shutdown the xbox including the power point, it will reset ur xbox time to the manufacturing date of the xbox, its it the bios...
u cant do anything much bout that...
hope this helps, u'll get used to it as i did, as most of all xbox v1 did...
happy xbmc-ing..
oh, get the latest xbmc with mc360 skin...
i'm using the xbox360 system blade skin on my xbmc...its cool....

Thanks for clearing things up. I think the XBMC I download was quite recent, compiled by BLINGBLING 2006-11-29 - pre 2.1 release. mc360 skin and colour schema is quite hard on my eyes (especially the fonts) so I am sticking with the default gotham skin.

Currently I haven't link my xbox to the net yet, just my local LAN for me to FTP stuff but I think should not be a problem. Now the time/date and need to sync with a NTP server seems to be design flaw (might as well just dump the set date and screen option on the original xbox dashboard altogether as it serve no purpose smile.gif)

old xbox time set will last 4 hrs or less if u switch off ur console (main switch) so if u want u have to keep it on...like 'peti sejuk' swicth off ur xbox but ur plug keep it on...the problem is if u using stepdown u 'koyak lah'....my advice is dont bother... notworthy.gif

Mine is direct 220V (HK unit I think) but I don't think I will waste electricity like this by leaving the main on. Got a bad experience with lighting, so all my console will be unplugged after gaming session.
