gasparo:

xbmc is programmed in c++. yes, newer versions of the xdk will work fine.

the procedure is generally to start hacking through the source and seeing what you'd like to work on, then getting stuck in coding a patch. you can ask questions etc. via the forums. once you've done a patch (or three) and it's decided you'd be a valuable asset, you'll be invited to join the team + be given dev status etc.

one thing that you may wish to look into is the xbmc skinning project xform. this is coded in c# and it would be fantastic if you'd be able to help with that - it is the major thing holding people back from making skins. see the front page post on xbox-scene for more info.

ofcourse, it's your time - you're welcome to work on anything you like!

cheers,
jonathan

i saw that everyone is using visual studio.net 2003 to compile xbmc. does anyone know if newer version will work?

hi! visual studio 2005 has been released now for some time. does the new xdk integrate into vs.net 2005?? and if so, what does this mean for xbmc? will it still compile? visual studio 2005 is entirely different from vs 2003 even the runtimes are completely different...
does anyone know if its possible to use vs.net 2005 with xbmc?

[elupus]

i'd be very surprised if it did work.. the xdk required an update when last vs came.

[Caldor]

ive searched and couldnt find anything on this.

ive applied to vs 03 the visual studio .net 2003 crystal reports security update. the compile seems ok but i dont want to submit bug reports if my config isnt on the baseline others are at. any issues?

[elupus]

haven't done that, but i'm sure you are fine.

are there instructions on what types of things are done to port the latest mplayer release into xbmc?  i'm interested in having xbmc play dvr-ms and i've read the posts that said to check with the mplayer group for support.  my interest is that if mplayer supports this format, what needs to be done to import this functionality into xbmc?
being a newbie, i tried to search for the information in this forum, on google, and in the docs directory for xbmc, but was unable to find the information.  any help would be appreciated.
(by the way, i'll do the work if i can get a handle on where to start).
