XBMC4Xbox is a free and open source media player software made solely for the first-generation Xbox video-game console. The software was forked from the XBMC project (now known as Kodi and formerly known as Xbox Media Player) after XBMC removed support for the Xbox console.〔http://www.xbmc4xbox.org/what-a-week-of-xbmc-for-xbox-history What A Week Of XBMC For Xbox History (XBMC4Xbox.org〕〔http://www.cnet.com.au/xbox-no-longer-part-of-xbmc-339303489.htm Xbox no longer part of XBMC (CNET Pulse)〕〔http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EkZVplAEykJXmYUFKb.php Team XBMC says Farewell to Original Xbox (xbox-scene.com)〕〔http://web.archive.org/web/20131208115107/http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/XBMC-drops-support-for-XBOX-1010421.html XBMC drops support for XBOX (The H Open Source)〕〔http://www.instantfundas.com/2010/06/xbmc-will-no-longer-support-xbox.html XBMC Media Center will no longer support Xbox (instant fundas)〕〔http://www.stolteclan.ca/2010/05/27/xbmc-for-the-xbox-is-dead-kind-of/ XBMC for the XBOX is DEAD! (kind of…) (stolteclan.ca)〕 Other than the audio / video playback and media center functionality, XBMC4Xbox also has the ability to catalog and launch original Xbox games, and homebrew applications such as console emulators from the Xbox's built-in harddrive. Since the XBMC4Xbox is homebrew software that is not endorsed or supported by Microsoft in any way, it means XBMC4Xbox requires a modchip or softmod exploit installed to run on the Xbox game-console, (more commonly known as jailbreaking). Binary builds of XBMC can also not be legally distributed by the XBMC4Xbox project members, so all releases of binary-builds are made by independent third-parties who compile and distribute unofficial versions of the application.〔〔〔http://www.o-sd.com/hardcoregamermag/publicPDF/HGM_Aug.pdf Review of XBMC in Hardcore Gamer Magazine〕 ==Overview== XBMC4XBox's 10-foot user interface is designed for the living-room TV, and the large icons and text in the graphical user interface allows the user to easily manage most common digital music, video, image, podcasts, and playlists formats from a computer, optical disk, local network, and the internet using a Xbox's game-controller or the Xbox DVD-Kit remote control. It also has a skinnable and user-configurable interface and plugin support. XBMC4Xbox does also just like XBMC feature; audio visualizations, slideshows, weather forecasts reporting, and an Python-based API for third-party plugins. Though it should be noted that addons such as skins and plugins for XBMC are not out-of-the-box compatible with XBMC4Xbox due to differences in their API's which means that all XBMC addons have to be ported in order to specifically work with XBMC4Xbox〔〔〔〔https://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/ XBMC-Addons on Google Code (Addon plugins for XBMC)〕〔http://www.xbmczone.com/ XBMC Zone (third-party Addon extensions for XBMC4Xbox)〕〔http://passion-xbmc.org/ Passion XBMC (third-party Addon extensions for XBMC and XBMC4Xbox)〕 Before considering using XBMC4Xbox is important to understand that the software is not an authorized/signed Microsoft product, therefore a modification of the Xbox is required in order to run XBMC4Xbox on a Xbox game-console. On a modded Xbox, XBMC4Xbox can be run as an application (like any Xbox game), or as a dashboard that appears directly when the Xbox is turned on.〔〔〔〔 Since XBMC4Xbox is an open source software program, its development source code is stored on a publicly accessible subversion repository. Accordingly, unofficial executable builds from the subversion repository are often released by third parties on sites unaffiliated with the XBMC4Xbox project.〔〔 XBMC4Xbox source code is distributed as open source under GPL (GNU General Public License),〔 and is community developed by a group of volunteering people from different parts of the world working on XBMC4Xbox for free in their spare time. The source code for XBMC4Xbox is mostly updated on a daily basis by developers in a public subversion repository.〔http://xbmcsvn.com xbmcsvn.com - Nightly Unofficial Builds of XBMC4Xbox〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「XBMC4Xbox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
