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

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 01:48

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.

Cheers,
Jonathan

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


*Sigh* - mikeljcabose - 2007-04-02 00:19

Ok. I finally got it to load up. When ever the XBMC/T3CH logo shows it goes to black and freezes. At first I was totally confused and then I remembered I put this same build on my xbox and it did the same thing (poor xbox...r.i.p.). I'm going to download a new build and try that.

I am using XBMC PC to play around with skinning. I would like to experiment with wide icons before moving them to my XBox. I created a couple of movie folders and dropped wide icons in them. I renamed the icons to .tbn files. They still show up as generic icons in the GUI using the default skin. Do I need to scan or do anything special to get the wide icons to show up? Can this even be done?


- TheCodeMan - 2007-04-09 21:23

bump, anyone?


- jmarshall - 2007-04-10 00:23

Just clear out the thumbs cache (userdata/thumbs)

Confused I'm really banging my head on a wall here. I just got the T3CH build from April 1st. When running the XBMC_PC.exe it appears the SageTV script works. Trying it on the XBOX it does not fully work. The watch button does nothing on the XBOX, yet on the PC I see the video goes here dialog and the counter. The Pc log states :
Code:
16:56:34 M:1399848960   DEBUG: CPlayerCoreFactor::GetPlayers(smb://Pvr/recordings/TilDeath-WebbysNotHappySummerofLove-3720777-0.mpg)
16:56:34 M:1399808000   DEBUG: Playback has started
16:56:34 M:1399799808   DEBUG: CGUIInfoManager::SetCurrentMovie(smb://Pvr/recordings/TilDeath-WebbysNotHappySummerofLove-3720777-0.mpg)
I get no such entry on the XBOX log. There are no errros and it does not even show an attempt to 'play' a file.

If I am supposed to be using the XBMC_PC version to test scripts but they work differently on the XBOX, how am I supposed to figure out what is going wrong? Please, I beg of anyone, please help.
