Help I've Broken My XBMC

OK so last night I upgraded my XBMC from a T3CH Build from about Sept 2008 to the latest T3CH build I also update the mediastream skin from 0.93 I think (might have been 0.95) to 1.0.

Since doing this I can not play any video, music works OK but no video. So I down graded back to the earlier T3CH build I was running before (did not downgrade any skins) but I still had the problem so then I tried the 2008-11-13 Stable Build and still not luck. About this point (after a couple of hours of messing about) I relised I had not changes the Skin since upgrading to mediastream 1.0.

So I tried PM3 skin and everything works OK. I tried all the skins I have and found that all worked except Aeon and mediastream. So then I upgraded back to the latest T3CH build again and still the same all skins plan video except Aeon and mediastream.

Now I have not touched Aeon and that used to work so this makes me think it is an issue with the newer versions of XBMC using more memory leaving not enough when running a high memeory skin to run video. But then I thought it can't be that and must be the memory use of the latest mediastream skin.

Anyway what I would like to do is downgrade mediastream skin to an earlier version but I can not find any older versions anywhere. Can somebody give me a link to earlier versions. Also do anybody have the same problem or any ideas on what to try next. I am happy that I can use my XBMC again with PM3 skin but I would really like to use mediastream skin not PM3.

I should really learn to stop messing with a working XBMC setup.

Help please!

No ideas?
Is there an XBMC forum I can post on?

So just installed the latest T3ch build 04/04//09 and I can use the mediastream skin again. This build seams to use less memory so all fixed :-)
