xmb category sfo codes

i just found out that i can hax edit .sfo's and move the relative app under a different xmb category anyhow i figured to do a list of the xmb category codes for any future homebrewers or xmb modders.

AM = Music (works)
AV = Video (works)
AP = Photo (works)
AT = TV (works)
CB = Network (works)
HM = PSN (works)


some credit to NZ Hawk, he discovered it before me.


how to add xmb music to homebrew

i've recently found i can add music to my brew.. this should work with any homebrew.
first i converted a mp3 to at3 renamed it to SND0.AT3

watch on youtube for program links
‪Convert anything into atrac3 at3 with at3 download‬‏ - YouTube
now when your done and happy ftp or copy from usb to any of your homebrew folders
example:- dev_hdd0/game/BXXX00000/SND0AT3

now exit to xmb , hover over and see if it worked

How To Add Channels to TV

Fire up your most liked ftp app goto:
/dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/xil/tv

may as well just copy the whole tv folder out, its not big..
now, on pc goto: tv/ctmp/63437280604629884/

open up: xil.xml with an editor may as well now go and open the other copy of xil.xml in: tv/c/63437280604629884/

as both need to match.

all i did was pick one of the foreign channel slots, and change the address and country code....

i.e adultswim uk

<mtrl id="1006" lastm="2009-11-20T13:00:00.000Z">
   <name>adultswim uk</name>
   <url type="1001">http://xmb.dl.playstation.net/xmb/ps3/AD..1WSfwnwPwNFaQCpP5bBETOc_/tv/rtve_02/ICON0.PNG</url>
   <url type="1002">http://xmb.dl.playstation.net/xmb/ps3/AD..1WSfwnwPwNFaQCpP5bBETOc_/tv/rtve_02/PIC0.PNG</url>
   <url type="1003">http://xmb.dl.playstation.net/xmb/ps3/AD..1WSfwnwPwNFaQCpP5bBETOc_/tv/rtve_02/PIC1.PNG</url>
   <url type="1004">http://xmb.dl.playstation.net/xmb/ps3/AD..1WSfwnwPwNFaQCpP5bBETOc_/tv/rtve_02/PIC2.PNG</url>
   <target type="u">http://www.adultswim.co.uk/videos</target>
   <cntry>gb</cntry>
   <lang>all</lang>

i now have catchupTV , youtubeXL , project free tv and adultswim uk all on my xmb..

i have uploaded my whole tv folder so dont worry you can copy the channels/icons/backgrounds i did from mine
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VA5VXTR
when your done adding channels and editing the icons/backgrounds for those channels copy the whole tv folder via ftp to:
/dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/xil/

now exit from your ftp app and enjoy all your new tv sites..
heres some crappy drunk phone pictures..



(mc hammer playout- you cant touch this .................. stop , hammer time)


EDIT:

the above method also works with the xmb's music category, i added skreemr.com ... so if my guessing right video should be fair game for shortcuts too.. also noted that a .pkg d/l can be done from this ... dont know about eboot or sfo launching

Your hard work is appreciated but I was wondering if you can help me create a way to randomize your xmb theme at boot its a pain to change manually and I have lots

sorry dude, i know squat about doing what you would want a theme randomizer... but a very good idea, i wish i could help sounds doable XD

Next job for me is i plan on having a look into xmb background music on apps/games as snes and gen emu's have just had this impemented by squarepusher2, any help/tips will be very welcome, just drop me a pm.

EDIT:

i've got nowhere editing app .sfo's for bgm , i did try a good few.. new, old, l1ght and official with now joy, also got no pm's i think now this is a worthy thing to look into as sqarepusher2 has managed to do it, goodness knows how.

on a sidenote i put all the shaders from the new snes9x into my ps3sxbeta shaders folder and they work ( .cg ) i do hope squarepusher2 picks up ps3sx next, seems the next perfect project for the super dude XD
