I know that I am behind the times using XP but Happy with it and don't want to move forward..anyway.. I have installed Eden and it is working fine but every script fails.. I can download addons so I know the connection is working correctly, but when I try to start a connection it fails..
I suspect that this type of problem has been posted before but my frustration is over the top with the dynamics of other things.. Is there any default addon that will check to make sure that all systems are go and is there any help documents that might assist me in finding a solution to this.. I just don't get it.. I am not just an ol fart who don't know nuthing..but this xbmc is not very intutive. either I have become to stupid to live or I am missing some thing
Thanxs

Sry 4 some reason my reply last night did not post.. I know that the newest version of this XBMC will not run on XP.. I am using Frodo 12.2 made the mistake of calling wrong name
Went and added the addon to upload the bug file and the script failed..so I gonna have to find another way to upload that file..
As to this XP win 7 - 8 drill.. No I will not move to a system that I have used and sucks.. IMHO if it aint broke don't fix it and it seems that M$ and the world thinks upgrades are better.. more times than not they cause trouble.
We Just wanted to cut the cord from our Cable Co and had a PC that could be dedicated to that use... I guess this is just another case of 1st worlders thinking that the rest of us just should march to their tune.. SIGH
Thanks for your help

I know Win 8 has had a lot bad press and a lot of people don't the updates for touch so can understand you saying Win 8 sucks, but I don't understand you also saying that about Win 7 which I've used since it's release, but if you're happy then fair enough.

agreed, win 7 was a major bump up from XP, even with my outdated hardware. overall the system became much more snappier. i can't vouch for windows 8 though.

We still can't help you. If the add-ons don't work then they don't work. Most add-ons will not be updated for v12 Frodo. Thems the breaks.

It depends on the add-ons. Some of them come from sites that are changing all the time, so it's a cat and mouse game. Sometimes they work for years without any changes.
Your best bet is to find which add-ons aren't working and try to contact those add-on authors. Most add-ons have support threads, either here on xbmc.org or elsewhere.

it seems that there is something missing here.. Its not just one or three add on not working.. its everyone.. that say fail like PBS.org now this one says fail to connect... but when I try to run ANY script it fails..
I have posted the log file to a web site the link is here already posted..
I guess in this barn there is no Cat.. and these mise just play..
Thanx
