I'd have to agree with this. I'm switching to XBMC from Meedio, which I've used for about 18 months (using the HTPC for something else). I tried MP on a number of occasions and didn't like it. It used far more processor and ram than Meedio and didn't run nearly as smoothly as XBMC.

That said, I love being able to run XBMC on my PC just for development stuff. I've been able to tweak my settings and environment on my PC and will probably start writing a few scripts as a result. Thank you so much for making this possible.

Hello,

great to have this. I tested a bit around... Big Grin

But it would be great, if there where a possibility to show up the python debug console, even if a script hangs...

Maybe a option in the menubar:

Python
->Console (shows up the python debug log in w32 style)
->Restart (restarts python engine)

This would help very much...

cheers lolol

im having troulbe using the pil inside the enviroment?
keep getting:
importerror "the imaging c moduel is not installed."

but i've added all the stuff i use on the xbox

feature suggestion:

Have the program check if E:, F:, Z:, P:, Q: exists and if not subst them to the correct folders

- diagdave@msn.com - 2006-11-21 13:35

found a fix for my problem copy a _imaging.pyd from a windows install of PIL.

Blittan: The code is in, but I found it unreliable. See IoSupport.cpp if you want to play with it (I just use WinExec to run subst)

Cheers,
Jonathan

not a C programmer, unfortunally..

but if you feel up to it, make it an option to enable/disable subst from the software?

great work,btw!!

XBMC offers, in my opinion, a better user experience. And it would allow, at long last, for high definition video playback.

so YOU go ahead and do it.

we have given you our opinions on doing a port. accept it
