[RELEASE] XBMC Skin Manager (Open Source Python Software for Windows)

Hi,
Try to use debug mode by passing d as program argument. If you start the program by command line, it should be something like that :

Code:

python xbmcsm.pyw d

i've tried it on vista x64 and selected amped to get downloaded and built. unfortunately it told me xbmctex is missing.

also it tells "unable to install amped" and now the status is "waiting" (progress bar is filled about 3/4) since 5 minutes and there seems to be nothing happening.

my advise would be to tell ppl they need xbmctex and where to obtain it for windows. just to get it more proof for n00bs like me..

edit: the interesting thing is: amped got installed AND textures.xpr had been created.

hi,
thanks for reply. I already tried that, still no checkboxes and no ouptut. Neither on the console nor in the .log.

@freaksworth
No idea, sorry. But, are you behind a proxy ? (not detected by SVN)

@azido
This problem happens only for amped or for all skins ?
If it tells you explicitly that XBMCTex is missing I think the problem comes from BAT file.

I have the same problem, was a solution found for this? Thanks

Here's a working patch to make this run on OS X if anyone is interested. It basically just replaces checks for "Linux" with checks for... not "Windows" or "Microsoft" where it wants to use Windows-specific calls.
