here's the log. Sorry, but i;m not very xbmc literate...just recently got into it

again, appreciate all the help

Are you downloading my PCInstaller or the Win32 rar file?

If you are downloading the installer, I made it to install into it's own folder and add it's own links to your start menu as I did not want my installer to step on the toes of the official installers.

If you ARE using my installer, then you need to open your start menu and select XBMC From SVN and then launch the desired fullscreen or windowed link from there.

If you are NOT using my installer, then you need to make sure you are unrar'ing to to say your desktop, open the new folder and you should see another folder called BUILD_WIN32. Open THAT and you will 1 more folder called Xbmc. Open THAT, select all, copy, then go to your C:\Program Files\XBMC or C:\Program Files(x86)\XBMC [or whereever you installed your XBMC to] and then paste the new files, overwriting any files that are there already.

Then launch XBMC and see if your problems went away

There have been a few issues over the last year where people using the installer were unsable to see any video and I have never figured out why. The easiest fix to this is to install the official installer from xbmc.org install it, copy and past all the files into the XBMC from SVN folder, then re-install my installer. This has also been shown to be a good work around for that issue.

anyway let me know if this does it for you.

OK, so I'm running XBMC nightly build 22118 on Windows 7 RC 32-bit. My laptop has a intergrated Intel video driver with the latest Windows 7 drivers.

Here's my debug log:

I initially tried playing a file without the "enable debug loggin" toggled, then I went and toggled it and again, no luck.

A brief history...

1. I only run into this problem with the nightly builds, not the official release.
2. The reason I want to use the nightly builds is because it's the only one that works with the Aeon "Auriga" release.
3. I also tried using an external player (using the little mod found here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=43511)


Hope this is a little more detailed.

Thanks again

PS. Tried both nate's and althekiller's idea, no luck

EDIT: Did not see the above post by Questor...please ignore above until I try this out.

SOLVED

What TheQuestor posted worked!

Don't know why or how, but I'm satisfied.

Thanks for everyone who helped!

Glad it worked out for you.

I'm guessing the issue here is the same I am having (thread here)

Your debug log is stating it cannot open avutil-50.dll and I'm betting your intitial install only had version 49 of this dll.

Maybe the method used above either reverts it back to using version 49 (which the official release seems to come with) or somehow manages to get version 50 from somewhere

I carried on digging. The reason your suggestion worked is that the nightly build installer comes with system\players\dvdplayer\avutil-49.dll but the nightly build patch "Windows Archive" comes with system\players\dvdplayer\avutil-50.dll.

Guess it's just a case of updating the installer to package the correct dll avutil-50.dll).

ok now it go Thank you!!
Edit: sorry wrong post...

Curiously, does anyone else notice that the "media" folder on the nightly build is now called "mediza"?

any1 got a newer win32 dx build than camelot alpha2 for me?

I haven't found any precompiled svn builds since 24368 from http://www.xbmcsvn.com other than the official Alpha2 on the site which is 24542.

Time to setup the SVN repository and see if I can compile it myself.
