[Mac OS X / ATV] Third-party SVN builds of XBMC for Mac (unofficial and unsupported)

davilla Wrote:Any problems with the new build changes?

A few but they weren't to hard to sort out.

Hi,

Can somebody compile and post a XBMC build for Mac with TuxBox Client fix ?

The patch is available here (dreambox.patch).

Regards

New build
rev17911

Im looking into it now. As for a timeframe expect to hear something in 2-3 weeks... it all depends on how busy I am.

Thanks again. This build is working perfectly. Special thanks for putting up the .rar version ;-)

Many thanks as always Tsf42m !! Installed this morning from my Windows system

RE: question from KevinSartori ... here is a re-post of the steps I use to update my aTV from a Windows system every time:

- use WinSCP to move the downloaded XBMCNEW.dmg file to /Users/Frontrow
- then SSH into the ATV using PUTTY, then ...
sudo bash [enter password]
sudo hdiutil mount XBMCNEW.dmg
scp -r /Volumes/XBMC/XBMC.app /Users/Frontrow\
sudo mv /Applications/XBMC.app /Applications/XBMC_OLD.app\
sudo mv ~/XBMC.app /Applications/\
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /Volumes/XBMC
rm XBMCNEW.dmg
cd /Applications
sudo chown -R frontrow XBMC_OLD.app
sudo chgrp -R frontrow XBMC_OLD.app
sudo chmod -R 755 XBMC_OLD.app
rm -R XBMC_OLD.app
sudo chgrp -R admin XBMC.app
exit
exit

Hope it helps ....

Hi Tsf42m, thanks for the builds I'm running into trouble with your builds and the music visualizations (it keeps crashing when I try to run any of them.) I posted a thread about it, and davilla said the following:

Quote:a quick look shows the xbmc binary and ProjectM.vis using the symbol

__ZN16CSpecialProtocol13TranslatePathERK7CStdStrIc E

instead of

__ZN5CUtil13TranslatePathERK7CStdStrIcE

using

nm build/Debug/XBMC | grep TranslatePath
nm visualisations/projectM/

I think your external libs/codecs build is stale. When building from svn always;

make clean
autoconf
./configure
make externals more_libs

then build from Xcode.

Also, when I try to launch XBMC using the remote (by enabling 'always on'), XBMCHelper shows it trying to launch "XBMC" and not "XBMC.app"

What build are you running?
I have had no problems with visualizations and haven't heard anything from anyone else.
You might take a look at XBMC's userdata, you may have to clean some things up.

I have never tested this.
Has anyone else had problems with this?
Ill look into it and let you know.

New build
rev18298

updated to SVN 18298 ... thanks again Tsf42m
so far so good

First, thank you for compiling and making the SVN releases of XBMC available for the ATV!

I have installed SVN 18298 (clean update from 8.10f). The ATV is at R2.2.

All works EXCEPT I cannot scan a network folder that contains TV shows. This worked well using 8.10f but not at all with 18298. I see an info window on the top right hand side saying scanning, then compressing but then the TV Library folder is not present. I have tried importing the library, which I exported before upgrading. Doing this, I can see the TV Folder but get a error message 2 missing share when I try to access the folder.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Suggestions?
