It's because the PC version has a "dummy" aka stupid player that doesn't actually do anything with the file at all - your issue is likely cropping up sometime during player initialisation.

jmarshall: just so you know xbmc_pc doesn't compile. The project has a file named emu_registry.c which needs to be changed to emu_registry.cpp.

Ta, it's fixed now.

Ok. Thanks. I was thinking I should see the same kinda calls to the player on the xbox, but I guess not.

I am trying to get XBMC_PC running but can not get any display functionality. I just get a white window. The menus are there only. The log file has these entries at the end

Is there a reason it could not create the D3D device? I have confirmed that I have DirectX 8.1 installed.

It's probably due to your graphics card not supporting the hardware stuff we use.


- smuto - 2007-02-28

try to check your colors set
- True Colors (32bit) - this one is good for XBMC_PC
- High Colors (16bit) - u just get a white window

smuto

Strange, I added another program, rebooted, now it works. Go figure.

Now I am just having trouble connecting to smb shares. It this supported?

no use your os

Quote:fixed: XBMC_PC didn't compile...

This is becoming common place.


- Asteron - 2007-02-28

Maybe we should have XBMC_PC build in Build.bat? Otherwise devs have to remember to load up the seperate project and test it.


- spiff - 2007-02-28

ideally we'd do the work and setup xbmc_pc as a target in the main project. then these issues wouldnt pop up....


XBMC freezes on startup - mikeljcabose - 2007-04-01

This is the code I used:
Code:
subst q: c:\xbmc_pc
subst t: c:\userdata
subst p: c:\userdata
subst z: c:\xbmc_pc\cache

Every time I try to open xbmc it freezes. I haven't installed the directX sdk thing. It's 228mb and I wanted to know if I needed this before I started the download. This is my log:

q: isn't mapped to where you think it is.

cd q: in a dos prompt and check that it is where XBMC_PC is actually located.

I did what you said and it still didn't work. I checked where the errors were and the files are not there...I don't get it xD
