Builds fine now on OSX (used current Xcode project file)

BUT: I have a fast running XBMC window w/o skin now (means open, empty window, but reacts upon "close" etc. No Content)

I built skins, TEX, after all built successfully, I built XBMC.app (which is ~102MB)

Could anyone help with that, please?

Not to be a smartass or anything, but I reported the patch being broken before it got committed to SVN, that's why I was commenting here.

some fixes and improvements are done on the windows support thread, i've put the changes in a new trac ticket with the diff and they seem to work fine, could this be put in the main SVN ?

thanks

On the other hand, the "already watched" stuff it's impossible to emulate through an external program and I think it would be nice to have it implemented.
I guess the cases where one "plays by mistake" a movie and stops it right away are far less from all the normal use (TV Series even more, probably) where all the "spoiler free " functionality gets compromised.

so based on this I can set launchplayer to run zoomplayer with auto-resumes and a quit function to bring me back to XBMC

Is that correct?

Ask in the support thread, this is for developers. I'll be happy to help you there. Smile

So is this supposed to be working on Linux? I get log output saying advancedsettings is recognized, but CEXTPlayer never shows up...
