==Information==
XBMC supports multiple user profiles, much the same as setting up individual users on your home computer. These individual profiles allow you to customize the environment for multiple users, allowing for such functionality as:
This page is mainly for information about Xbox game music formats but anything can be added in the general codec/nfo area :)
*Customized view settings such as skins for each user
*The ability to lock folders, such as network shares on a per-user basis
*Unique RSS feeds for each user
*Unique keymapping for each user


pap: PAplayer, XBMC's multicodec musicplayer. Has features like Replaygain, Gapless decoding & APEv2 tag support. More info [[PAPlayer|here]]  
All options stored in [[The UserData Folder]] can be customized per profile, allowing for an amazing amount of flexibility.


Currently supports the following decoders:

Selecting Profiles from the main settings window will bring you to the screen pictured to the left. In this screen you have the following options:

By scouting around, we've come to learn the following about Xbox game audio:
|
 
[[image:profile2.jpg|300px]]
 
|
Most games use these audio formats: ADX, PCM, WMA, XBADPCM.
First, you will be prompted to enter a name for your profile. Enter the name for your profile. Then, it will prompt you for your profile directory. This is where your personalized settings will be stored. Choose ''New Folder'' and add a folder with the same name as your profile. Then select the new directory and choose '''OK'''.<br><br>You should then see a screen much like the one to the left.
Many other consoles use a similiar TYPE of ADPCM format, however the code encode/decode algorithms are not identical.
The following options are available:
 
;Profile Name
 
:Change the name of your profile

====Known Developer Formats====
Most games use the XWB ( Xact/Xbox Wave Bank ) format, which can contain: PCM, WMA, XBADPCM.
 
XSB is a filename container for the XWB format.
 
Alot of Microsoft Game Studios games use WMA ( what else :P ).
 
Sega games use: ADX &/or AFS ( archive format which most of the time contains ADX files ).
 
SFD is CRI MiddleWares video Codec.

XBMC supports multiple user profiles, much the same as setting up individual users on your home computer. These individual profiles allow you to customize the environment for multiple users, allowing for such functionality as:

  • Customized view settings such as skins for each user
  • The ability to lock folders, such as network shares on a per-user basis
  • Unique RSS feeds for each user
  • Unique keymapping for each user

All options stored in The UserData Folder can be customized per profile, allowing for an amazing amount of flexibility.

Note: There are many references to the Master Code below. See Master Lock for more information.

Profile Settings

Selecting Profiles from the main settings window will bring you to the screen pictured to the left. In this screen you have the following options:

Login Screen
Enables/Disables the login screen
Add Profile
Add a new profile
Default User / any available profile name
Select the given profile. In order to edit a profile, highlight it, open the context menu by pressing the white button and choose Edit Profile.



Note that at the bottom of the screen, the currently selected profile is displayed.

Adding a Profile

In order to add a profile, simply choose Add Profile... . Note, selecting a profile name from the main Profile Screen will bring up this same menu.

Profile2.jpg

First, you will be prompted to enter a name for your profile. Enter the name for your profile. Then, it will prompt you for your profile directory. This is where your personalized settings will be stored. Choose New Folder and add a folder with the same name as your profile. Then select the new directory and choose OK.

You should then see a screen much like the one to the left. The following options are available:

Profile Name
Change the name of your profile
Profile Picture
Allows you to associate a picture with your profile
Profile Directory
Allows you to choose the folder in which your individual settings are stored
Lock Preferences
Allows you to lock many of your preferences. This is detailed below.
Media Info
Allows you to have separate information saved for your media, i.e. IMdB, AllMusic, etc. The options are
      • Separate - Profiles have separate info with full control
      • Shares with Default - Shares info with the default user with full control
      • Shares with Default (Read Only) - Shares with the default user, and is locked by the master code
      • Separate (Locked) - Profile has separate info, but you can only change it by enabling master mode.
Media Sources
Allows you to have separate media sources for the profiles. The options are
      • Separate - Profiles have separate sources with full control
      • Shares with Default - Shares sources with the default user with full control
      • Shares with Default (Read Only) - Shares with the default user, and is locked by the master code
      • Separate (Locked) - Profiles have separate shares, but you can only change it by enabling master mode.
