Hi-

I have a very old mac mini, so I recently downloaded the new XBMC for PowerPC. After installation, I've attempted to open the program and have yet to get it to successfully open. The program crashes almost immediately upon my clicking on the icon. I've looked everywhere to see if somehow my computer doesn't meet the necessary Memory/HD requirements, but it doesn't look like it.

I'm by no means an expert in any computer-related issues, so I could have done something stupid. Below is the crash report that I get. Does anyone have any ideas?

Which OSX are you running?
You need at least 10.4

[476429]

It looks like you are running XBMC from the disk image. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, but you should probably drag it to your Applications folder--just in case.

[caryatid62]

I put it in the applications folder and got the same thing. As far as the operating system goes, I'm running OSX 10.4.11.

[476429]

Have you tried the universal fix-all--restart the computer?

I always say, "When all else fails, restart the computer." Not that it always works.

crashing in GetGLVersion.

pastebin the xbmc.log, there should be enough into there to get a better idea of what is going on..

icky "GL: Critical Error. Could not initialise GL Extension Wrangler Library"

It's like OpenGL is seriously borked. Any idea what version of OpenGL it might be running ?

Looks like 1.4.7 (I think-I'm looking under "Frameworks" in Software)

Need to get Beenje to comment on this, he's the ppc expert

[Beenje]

Very strange... Must say I have no idea...
I'm no expert, just the only one working on ppc :p

Which mac mini do you have?
Anyway, if I remember correclty, all PowerPC Mac Mini have a ATI Radeon 9200.
That's what I have (1.25GHz G4) running 10.5.8.
But it should work on 10.4 as well.

There are no ppc nightly builds. I could make a recent debug build available so that you could give it a try.
We don't use GetGLVersion anymore :-) But I'm skeptical. Looks something is wrong on your machine...
Nothing special about your installation?
You could try a clean OSX re-install...

Is your monitor set to 'Millions'? otherwise OpenGL won't work.

Just to confirm it does work on our daughters G5 (PPC) with 10.4.11

[caryatid62]

Monitor is set to millions.

I'm wondering if the problem may actually be in my monitor, which is an old Dell (probably 7-8 years old). In going through my graphics settings, I noticed that both Quartz Extreme and Core Image aren't supported. I'm going to pick up a DVI to HDMI cable and try it on my new tv monitor and see what happens.

[Sle7enUK]

It will be your card and not your monitor, don't think it's up to the job unfortunately but if you post full specs to make sure.

There are some old hacks for PCI ones to enable QE/CI but not sure if will work with your version but it is probably OpenGL issue rather than QE/CI.
