@jmarshall, would it be a good idea to implement SDL in XBMC_PC as in the Linux port, for consistancy?

jmarshall: thanks, i'll have to try debug.

pash: I put the .exe and .bat file where the ".xbe" file was and even deleted the .xbe file, but to no avail. Sad i'll keep trying.

RUN the bat file

Mbay:

I don't know if this will help you but this is how I got it running

1. Find T3CHConfused svn compile (google for it) and download it

2. extract the files to c:\XBMC

3. copy the files from c:\XBMC\win32 to c:\XBMC\XBMC

4. run c:\XBMC\XBMC\run_me_first.bat

5. It sometimes stops after the Xbox media center logo but if I click a few times in the picture it will load and show the menu

This was never answered that I saw.

Quote:
With recent exe builds, I'm getting winsock errors with certain scripts. These work fine on the xbox. I don't see anything in the log except for the traceback.

I've searched to see what the error means, with no luck. "Winsock Error 2"
http://pastebin.ca/553394

Some of the scripts that work use the same urllib.urlopen() command, just different urls. Going back to an April 10th compiled exe it works fine. Sorry I don't have the revision.

The same script (XBMC Lyrics) will grab the lyrics online, but fail checking for updates to the script.


Is there something I should be doing for XBMC_PC?

In reference to the above post, could someone test Apple Movie Trailers on the PC and see if it will download the xml files and create the database.

Just grab it from http://xbmc-scripting.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Apple%20Movie%20Trailers and do a fresh run.

It no longer works for me and I don't know if it's something on my system.

Thank you

Hi,

I can't seem to get the xbmc_pc.exe running. Here's the log:

I wasn't too sure what to do with the <fontset> tag in PM3. I tried deleting the <fontset> that had xpr fonts attached but that didn't seem to help.

My specs are as follows:

WIndows XP SP 2 PRO
DirectX 9, June 2007
2.4 Ghz
496mb RAM

Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance.

Using the XBMC-SVN_2007-06-17_rev9336-T3CH build on the PC and the latest SVN of the Apple Trailers I appeared to have a successful run. It downloaded the xml and created a full database, but I see nothing on the screen whatso ever. I never encountered a winsock error though. I got these erros in my log:

Thanks, the error message probably wouldn't show, I added some extra error checking here.

That error means trailer==-1, my fault. I can't tell though what genre you were in. If it's newest (the default) then it sounds like it didn't create the database.

I do believe I was in the 'newest' genre. I can however run the test again anyway you like.
