T! Svn r260

Thanks!!!

there's really not much to compile.
you can just download r260 from svn and use it right away.

Thanks. Can you please let me know how to. In Ubuntu directly over terminal would be perfect. Thanks!!!

svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Transparency!

Thanks. Shouldn't that give me the very latest built instead of R260?

Btw, is it as easy to get the very latest (unstable, not recommended) XBMC built? What would be the command? After downloading, would I still need to install it?

oops, yeah...

svn checkout --revision 260 http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Transparency!

downloading the xbmc source would be just as easy, but you'll have to compile it yourself.
download instructions for the xbmc source here:
http://xbmc.org/download/

compile instructions are included in the source (see the README.ubuntu file)

Brilliant, thanks a lot!!! Worked out very well. Just a couple of (new) questions. Your help is appreciated:

1) What should the right location for the skin? I now have /home/user/xbmc folder, but also /home/user/xbmc/xbmc, /home/user/.xbmc, and /usr/share/xbmc.

2) Is the "add-on" folder now the right one to copy the skins to? Any naming convention?

3) Any idea where plugins go with the latest built?


Thanks for your help!!!

it depends on what version of xbmc and transparency! you are using.
if you run the latest available of both (post add-on merge) this is how it should be:

1) on linux, the right location for skins is /home/user/.xbmc/addons
2) there's no "official" naming convention, but skin.transparency is what you should be using.
3) plugins should also be installed in the same directory. (/home/user/.xbmc/addons)


but...since you explicitly asked for T! svn r260 i assume you are running a pre-addon version of xbmc.
if that's the case the above doesn't apply.

Thanks for your quick message. Got everything working with pre-addon, but now actually compiled from SVN to get my hands on the very latest T! skin as well. Love to see how the new DVD covers look like.

So, I compiled successfully XBMC from SVN (built R29769) and it runs. However, I don't get T!. It downloaded well and I have added to "/home/user/.xbmc/addons". I don't know why, but it doesnt show up in XBMC. Also; I am confused aobut the "/home/user/xbmc/" folder and not sure whether I had this one before?

Any thoughts?

standard procedure: enable debug log & restart xbmc. post the debug log to pastebin. ;-)

oh, i don't have a "/home/user/xbmc/" folder, so no clue as to why you have one.

I am doing a full new install now from scratch. Will take a bit, but should have everything worked out then. Will keep a debug log if the issue remains. I guess that I must have screwed up something when I compiled XBMC from SVN. Can you take a brief look at below whether this looks right? Compared to the one in the WIKI, I had to add "sudo" before "make install" and also had to change directory to "/home/user" before running "./bootstrap".

Thanks for your help!!!
