[Guest guest from lv]

hi guys, tried to use TU download after default.xex replace. but nothing comes out, is there any issues with target host?

[Gualdimar 70]

dizazter`s host is offline for some reason. hope he`ll fix it in nearest future.

but at the moment, the most reliable path is to use your own hosting

Thanks for quick answer! May I ask you to point me to the topic where is described how to deliver TU using my own hosting?

Thanks mate. Used MAMP in order to setup web server in local network and installed all required TU.

What is the second "default.rar" file with default.xex dated Nov 11, 2015 in the first post?

everything is up and running. Look for issues on your side.

*UPDATE*
starting from August the 16th IP Address will be changed, so everyone needs to redownload xex from the first post

it is, but a little bit of php coding and mysql can transform it into your own cover db. it is esspecialy usefull because of broken push to xbox function.

this scripts are just base, they aren`t ready solution.

presonaly i`m too lazy to install mysql, so i created xml files with favourites covers on my local server and used this code in cover.php:

	if (file_exists('covers/'.$titleid))
	{
		include('covers/'.$titleid);
	}
	else
	{
		//request to xboxunity
	}

So, since I would like to also do this, where in your PHP script do I add these lines?

[Gualdimar 70]

rileyil77, you need to create a folder named covers in the direcoty with cover.php

example: for GTA5 cover you should create a file named 545408A7 with a proper xml answer for fsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<covers><title id="545408A7" name="GTA V" mediaid="" filename="Cover.png" type="" mainlink="http://XboxUnity.net/api/boxart/5679" front="http://XboxUnity.net/api/boxartfront/5679" Official="1"/></covers>

and the first 25 lines of cover.php should look like this:

 

<?php
$titleid=strtoupper($_GET['id']);
if($_GET['query'] == "TitleID")
{
	if (file_exists('covers/'.$titleid))
	{
		include('covers/'.$titleid);
	}
	else
	{
		$ch = curl_init();
		$options = [
		    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
		    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
		    CURLOPT_URL            => 'http://xboxunity.net/api/Covers/'.$titleid
		];
		
		curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
		$data = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
		curl_close($ch);
		
		cover($data);
	}
}

and the first 25 lines of cover.php should look like this:

So I take it where the XML says for example:  mainlink="http://XboxUnity.net/api/boxart/5679, I would replace with example:  mainlink="http://myserverip/xbox360/cover/5679

Also a great update to the default.xex creator would be to point to the q.php.  I think it would be awesome to have weather back on my modded XBox 360 under FreeStyle Dash.

Thanks again for all your help.

More information.

Okay, so I have a problem.  Thanks, Gualdimar again for helping me out.

So, because when I use FSD 3's WebUI it crashes FreeStyle Dash when I update the covers.  I would really like this to work, but if not I'll do what a friend said to do and wipe the FreeStyle Dash /DATA sub directory and start over....  Anyway, I have a couple of HomeBrew Games that were PC Games and ported over to run on the XBox Classic by a team named AfterShock.  So, XBoxUnity.net does not have their covers.  Since I custom made a cover for the game AfterShock Pool SX, I followed Gualdimar's instructions he gave me a couple post back.  Since Aftershock Pool SX's Title ID is 07398CDC, I created the sub folder on my  server  \\mylanserverpc\xbox360\covers\07398CDC.  I used his example an created this XML since I'm not a programmer and knowing nothing about XML or PHP:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<covers><title id="07398CDC" name="AfterShock Pool SX" mediaid="" filename="Cover.png" type="" mainlink="http://mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/07398CDC" front="http://mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/07398CDC" Official="1"/></covers>

I also updated the covers.php following directions:

<?php
$titleid=strtoupper($_GET['id']);
if($_GET['query'] == "TitleID")
{
    if (file_exists('covers/'.$titleid))
    {
        include('covers/'.$titleid);
    }
    else
    {
        $ch = curl_init();
        $options = [
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_URL            => 'http://xboxunity.net/api/Covers/'.$titleid
        ];
        
        curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
        $data = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
        curl_close($ch);
        
        cover($data);
}
    ];
    
    curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
    $data = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
    curl_close($ch);
    
    cover($data);
}

function cover($data)
{
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>'.'<covers/>');
        
    if(count($data)>0)
    {
        foreach ($data as &$value) {        
            $title = $xml->addChild('title');
            $title->addAttribute('id',$value->titleid);
            $title->addAttribute('name',$value->name);
            $title->addAttribute('mediaid','');
            $title->addAttribute('filename','Cover.png');
            $title->addAttribute('type','');
            $title->addAttribute('mainlink',$value->url);
            $title->addAttribute('front',$value->front);
            $title->addAttribute('Official',(int)$value->official);    
        }
    }
    
    Header('Content-type: text/xml');
    print($xml->asXML());
}
?>

So anyone want to try and help figure out why covers.php won't grab the local cover?

q.php is for push to xbox function. but fsd has this old bug: it downloads pushed cover, but doesn`t apply it. And i can`t fix this wothout fsd sources.

mainlink="http://mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/07398CDC"  - this link should point to the full(front and back) cover, named Cover.png

front="http://mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/07398CDC"  - this link should point to the front, named Cover.png

you can check links for GTA5 from my example for better understanding.

your file tree should look like this:

/mylanserverip/xbox360/cover.php - php script
/mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/ - folder with xml files
/mylanserverip/xbox360/covers/07398CDC - xml file for titelid 07398CDC

this can happen if cover has wrong format or size
