XBMC doesn't start on Mac Mini PPC - svassie - 2010-09-03

Hi, I'm looking for some help.

I have a ppc mac mini and I'm trying to get XBMC to work. I downloaded the 9.11 version for ppc and installed it by moving it to my applications folder.

I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and when I open XBMC it sort of starts in the dock and then exits. Here is the output of the console log and the XBMC log:

Any suggestions you have will be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance.

you might try the Dharma beta, see http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/osx/ppc/

Thanks for the suggestion davilla.

I tried that but I got the same result. XBMC starts and then quits.

Here is the console log:

and here is the (as far as I can tell) relevant line from the XBMC log:

23:44:57 T:2692204576 M:382128128 FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to create window

before that line everything seems OK and after that line XBMC uninstalls the items it installed at the beginning.

This may seem stupid but could this have anything to do with the fact that I'm accessing this PC via VNC? I can't see how it could be but I'm sure that the more information you have, the better.

Thanks again

Stewart

Ahh, yes. You need a real display connected to get a hardware accelerated opengl window. XBMC will not run if there is no physical display present. You can fake a display with a special adapter.

I have a 'Apple DVI to Video Adapter' on my Mini hooked up to my tv. I still get the bouncing icon then it disappears.

Thanks!

Hello and sorry for my English...

I have the same problem with Mac Mini 2010 connected to a HD TV with the Apple HDMI to VGA in 1080i...
But if I switch the Mac resolution to 720p, XBMC start and run fine.

In 1080i, XBMC start but quit immediately. Same issue with Plex.

Tested with OS X 10.6.5 pre release.

Please start a new thread, your problem has nothing to do with this one "XBMC doesn't start on Mac Mini PPC", you are running Mac Mini 2010. Also. post xbmc to a pastebin site when trying 1080i.

Oops! Sorry.
