alright so i've been surfing around trying to figure out how to get xlink kai working. i have the kai engine running on my computer, and it's saying that the xbox is connected. i see a small list of games that i have played, but halo 2 isn't showing up on the list. also, no arena's show up for any of the games. i put in my username/password, followed the online guide and everything. any idea what could be wrong?

same problem here... whenever i choose xlink kai from the "my programs" menu, i see that rotating thing in the upper left corner, but appart from that no activity is shown... i.e. i don't see any arenas or games or anything in the list.
however when using xlink kai ui on my pc everything is working fine. i can see that the orbital server is connected, the diagnostic mode says "network reachable: yes", i can chat with ppl in my buddy list, etc.
when i switch the profile from "normal kai use" to "engine only" and reboot the box, i can see that the xbox is detected and that the kai engine is connected with the uk orbital server, but as mentioned the xbmc kai ui isn't impressed by anything of that.. no matter what settings i tried yet.
i followed the steps in the quickguide pdf 1:1... but got some unanswered questions left... e.g. what's the point in activating port address translation (pat)? the help button sais "ignore this feature for now." however the quickguide's screenshots show that this 'feature' is activated.
also what exactly is the kai deep port good for? when using the kai ui on my pc i have the kai port at 34518 (yea i also tried 30k but it doesn't seem to make any difference - at least not when using the pc ui - as long as i forward the correct port on my router) and the kai deep port at 0. i already tried setting the deep port to 34519 (and 34518 and 30000 also) and that forwarding port on the router, but didn't make any difference...
so the quint essence is.. when using the kai pc ui, system link online play works hassle-free... when using the xbmc ui nothing happens.
i'm currently using cvs 11-13-2004... so i don't seem to get any debug informations on the xbox that would help me track down the problem... i just read the 11-14 announcement and will give it a try tomorrow (don't have vs+xdk at my home pc)... maybe the added debug features will give some more valuable informations about what could be the problem.
anyone else any good ideas what i'm possibly doing wrong or what else i could try?
cheers,

i reckon the features that made it into the latest cvs will help you, if xbmc hasn't connected to the kai engine (for instance if you started xbmc before you started kai engine in dashboard mode) it will offer you the opportunity to attempt to reconnect.

i get nothing in the 11/14/2004 build. i switch over to the 11/11/2004 build and the kai interface looks normal (as it should with the arenas and all), but on the 11/24 build, i get just blank with the word "weather" up top.
something's not right. help!

i've been trying to figure this out, forwarded port 30000 and everything. still not seeing any arenas in xbmc. internet is working on the xbox, can load weather and stuff. what could the problem possibly be?? i am using a linksys wrt54g, if that makes any difference.

i got xbmc+kai ui working now.
the problem seems to be the release i was using. that is "xbmc_1_1_0_-_cvs_build_11-13-2004.rar" which i happened to find on usenet.
today i checked out the cvs tree and compiled the 11-14 version. now xbmc+kai works perfectly fine for me, without any config changes... just replaced the binary.
i can now see the buddy icons, use voice chat... and even more important, i get the list of arenas and games.
you might want to give it a try... the name is xbmc_cvs_build_11-14-2004.rar which got apparently posted to my usual place by someone. you'll figure it out (or not) ;-)
i never messed around with the python scripts and webserver and neither had the time nor will to deal with the subject, so i left that three directorys (python/, scripts/ and web/) intact as they where in the cvs tree without extracting anything or so... doesn't look like there's anything left to compile so if you want to use them you should be able to set 'em up yourself. however i added the pm ii skin, because i think it's just beautiful... hope that's okay.
