XBOX Background Music

Is there a way to play background music on my dashboard? Main screen and loading screen? I'm using Evox.

I know there is with UX, though I'm not sure about making it permanent. I really don't know about EvoX. Here's some guides which might help.

I don't think you can with EvoX but Avalaunch and Unleash do allow it. With AvaL, I have mine setup that way at it rotates through a bank of songs...I believe that UX works the same way.

XBMC should be able to play music on load as well. Since it runs python script,you can use this...

copy this code in a text file and save it as autoexec.py

Code:
import XBMC

xbmx.executescript('q:\\scripts\\autoplay.pls')

Now take this code and do the same,but save it as autoplay.py

Code:
import xbmc

pls = xbmc.Playlist(0)
pls.load("q:\\scripts\\playlist.pls")
pls.shuffle()
playlist
xbmc.Player().play(pls)

Ths line
Code:
pls.load('q:\\scripts\\playlist.pls')
is where you would make the changes as to where the playlist is stored. Theoratically you can launch a playlist from a network....but for now try this if you want.


Other notes...in the first line of the autoplay code the ) in the brackets means MUSIC and if you wanna launch to a video playlist you would use the number 2. Also if you don't want the playlist to shuffle,delete the line with the shuffle command.


I haven't tested this,but it looks like it should work.

How do you set UX to play music? I changed my ambient background sound, but I'd like to get some custom tunes going on bootup.

In the System section goto Settings then look for Sounds and Audio Settings.

You should then look for the line highlighted here,and direct it to where your mp3's are on your xbox. It should then be set to play tunes in the background.

Thanks guys. I will try this tonight. But how do I get Unleash as my default dashboard. Right now Evox is default. TM provided instructions on how to boot into EVOX and the original xbox dash. But unleash is only selectable through EVOX it seams. I definiteyl want to use a dashboard that will let me play background music, and make it default.

UX and Avalaunch are so much more feature packed than EvoX, you won't regret it, I don't even have EvoX installed. Since you have an X3, it should be as simple as downloading the dash you want, FTPing it to your C drive (or whereever your default dash is located), and overwriting the existing evoxdash.xbe file (you might have to rename it, I believe avalaunch is avalaunch.xbe, EvoX and UX are Evoxdash.xbe as far as I know) on your C drive with the one from the desired dash. I definitely recommend backing up your C and E drives before hand. I'm not 100% on that, since I've never changed my dash, UX came as my default dash when I got my Xbox modded. That should in theory be correct. I've used EvoX, and Avalaunch, I much prefer UX and Ava. Here's a guide for changing your default dash. One of the big advantages for using a chip is stuff like swapping HD's/dashes is very simple.

was tinkering around



@Punq Thanks for the CD tip, works great, now I have the Final Fantasy IV Sound track playing everytime I turn on my box.
