XBMC_PC Win32 GUI Development Environment for skinners (skin developers)

SleepyP:
It could be, but it could just as easily be something else. Enable full debuglogging via advancedsettings.xml to see if there's anything else available in the logs.

mbay:
It does not require the .net framework, nor does it require service pack 2. All you need is directx 8 or later.

And yeah, I ported it - glad you like it

Cheers

I am getting nothing but freezing issues no matter what combination i am using.

Would it be possible for someone to map out how it should be set up on the pc?

Currently the folder i have containing xbmc is located on my desktop. The only thing i havent done is


subst q: c:\xbmc_pc
subst t: q:\userdata
subst p: q:\userdata
subst z: c:\xbmc_pc\cache

Honestly that's where i am lost which is where i am sure to be going wrong. Any help would be greatful.

Have you read the readme that came with it? It sums it up quite well I think - if not, please let me know which part you didn't understand.

Have you executed the script that was named "run_me_first.bat"?

Open a command prompt and type "subst" to check that the drives are mapped.

Cheers,
Jonathan

What should i be seeing once i run subst?

Also what should be the layout of the folder xbmc is in?

once you run the bat file you should see 4 nnew drives in explorer and clicking on q: should take you straight to the xbmc dir
Also if you guys are running vista it just may not work its not been tested on it

You may have problems if you already have a p,q,t or z drive.


the above shouldn't require any changes. This also deletes the subst after you exit xbmc_pc.exe.

Just save it as xbmc_pc.bat and put it in the same folder as xbmc_pc.exe. Then run it.

jmarshall: Ok, I compile my own build of the exe and grabbed the one you compiled, my question is, how did you disable the fps/free mem?

and I have notice some issues when I switch between apps, I will minimize it and bring it back up and when i click on it to reactive the mouse it treats it as if Im right clicking.. is that something Im doing wrong or something else?

dont compile it in debug mode compile it in release mode

How do I un-map the drives that the bat maps?
