Some help please.
Used this to update the code on my Windows 7 box and now the XBMC UI seems to revert to 4:3 in windowed form. When I set it to 720p mode (full screen), the UI still looks 'stretched' and can't seem to find any settings that will fix this.

I've backed up my Userdata folder prior to this and restored it after the upgrade. Any ideas?

Remove the guisettings.xml, which resets the skin and gui settings and then try it.

Why is it that this updater report XBMC version r23739 but XBMC itself reports r23658. It has been like this a very long time.

Not sure mine both show the same version number. Kill the update.xml. This will make it the tool download and install the newest version again. See if that makes a difference.


- StarChild - 2009-10-16

Deleted update.xml and updated again. And no it didn't solved the problem. I believe more that it is XBMC that doesn't report the right version number, or that the compiler person forgets to update the version number.

XBMC pre-9.10 r23739-gl on Win7

If your getting the updates from the tool, then they are coming from me. The version shows correct on my dev pc, but not on my laptop. There it shows the same as yours. I'll need to check on that.

EDIT
So it appears to be something with the update tool. If you update using the .exe installer the version shows properly.


- StarChild - 2009-10-17

Sorry, didn't notice your name. It seems that it show the version of the previously update.
But the zip file contains an older version then the name of the zip file says.
Unzip http://danielpatton.com/user-accounts/XBMC-updates/XBMC-Rev23805.zip, without the XBMC Updater and you'll see that XBMC reports r23796 (The second latest version from that web page.) So maybe it doesn't need to be this program, but the zip file.

Does your XBMC says r23858 now? Or does it say r23851?

@kricker:
I tested with a clean install from the executable gl version. It's the same problem there, if install r23973 XBMC reports r23944, and if install r23944 XBMC reports r23912 and so on.

XBMCUpdate has to effect on the version number that is reported inside of XBMC. the only version that it has control over is the version that is displayed in XBMCUpdate itself and it comes from update.xml and that version is extracted from the zip file that is downloaded from the server.

so if for any reason the version reported by XBMC isn't the same as you see in XBMCUpdate it could either be that version of the xbmc that was last downloaded didn't match it's file name or for some reason xbmcupdate is unable to update update.xml and that's why its showing an outdated version.

@kay.one: Exactly my point. In that last test I didn't even use the updater, just compared the filename with what XBMC reported in the gui, so it can't be the updater.

EDIT: As this is not a problem with the updater I'll post this in 'Third-party SVN builds' thread instead.

Yeah, I haven't had time to look into it yet. But it's merely a reporting error.
