Please post the code through PM.

Cheers!!!

Harry Muscle Wrote:I'll share a little secret with you ... don't use SlingboxSDK, try SlingboxLib instead. I can't right now but later today I'll post more details about it. Just please leave my inbox alone

Harry Muscle Wrote:Got some good news for those that have been waiting to try this but didn't want to go thru the process of compiling, etc. Here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=468BLANO you can find a compiled version of XBMC for Windows. It's based on GIT commit 4b398fe55699325a2e8ae7ef880abb167de2890f (which if from February 11, 2011 @ 6:27:20PM). Only problem is that there's currently no nightly builds (with installer and all the support files, etc.) available officially. However, I believe you can get your hands on some from about a month ago here: http://sshcs.com/xbmc/?mode=DLC&FA=XBMC&FT=PC&FB=35744&TF=rar (or just go to http://sshcs.com/xbmc/ and follow the prompts) and then just swap the exe file that I provided in the first link. I haven't actually tested that combination, but unless something major was changed on the skin or other support files it should work I presume. Maybe whoever is the first to try could just report back and let everyone else know. If I had more time I'd try it myself, but it's either that or continue working on the changes requested by the mods to get this officially into XBMC.

Thanks,
Harry

P.S. Since XBMC has moved over to GIT my latest posted patch is a pain to apply, so if there's anyone who wants to compile the latest and greatest version of XBMC from GIT with my patch, I can make a copy of it available designed for GIT. Just ask and I'll upload it.

P.P.S. For those trying this out and not wanting to read the ticket on how to add the Slingbox ... basically just add a new source in the format of:
sling://username: password@slingboxaddress: port (username has to be either administrator or viewer)

I gt the option to watc Slingbox but then I get the spinning wheel for 20 secsonds and nothing. Log file shows a loop of:

I'll investigate the FFmpeg more tomorrow. Seems there are similar error messaged on the PVR development threads. Windows64 if that is relevant. Slingplayer itself runs fine.

BTW would it be possible to use the Slingbox-ID rather than the IP Address? That would make it easier to access remote Slingboxes
