Sorry for being a real newb, but i'm lost.

I renamed default.xbe to xbmc_pc.exe

made a bat file with the following:
subst q: c:\xbmc_pc
subst t: q:\userdata
subst p: q:\userdata
subst z: c:\xbmc_pc\cache

(yes those are where my files are located)

The drives show in windows explorer.

I open Q: and go to XBMC_PC.exe and double click. The cmd box quickly opens and closes.

What am i doing wrong?

cheers lolol

What would be the point of fully porting xbmc to windows? As kraqh3d pointed out there is Mediaportal..

I just like the feel of XBMC much better than MediaPortal...I don't know why, XBMC just seems better for some reason.

I'd have to agree with this. I'm switching to XBMC from Meedio, which I've used for about 18 months (using the HTPC for something else). I tried MP on a number of occasions and didn't like it. It used far more processor and ram than Meedio and didn't run nearly as smoothly as XBMC.

That said, I love being able to run XBMC on my PC just for development stuff. I've been able to tweak my settings and environment on my PC and will probably start writing a few scripts as a result. Thank you so much for making this possible.

Hello,

great to have this. I tested a bit around... Big Grin

But it would be great, if there where a possibility to show up the python debug console, even if a script hangs...

Maybe a option in the menubar:

Python
->Console (shows up the python debug log in w32 style)
->Restart (restarts python engine)

This would help very much...

cheers lolol

im having troulbe using the pil inside the enviroment?
keep getting:
importerror "the imaging c moduel is not installed."

but i've added all the stuff i use on the xbox


- blittan - 2006-11-21

feature suggestion:

Have the program check if E:, F:, Z:, P:, Q: exists and if not subst them to the correct folders


- [email protected] - 2006-11-21

found a fix for my problem copy a _imaging.pyd from a windows install of PIL.


- jmarshall - 2006-11-21

Blittan: The code is in, but I found it unreliable. See IoSupport.cpp if you want to play with it (I just use WinExec to run subst)

Cheers,
Jonathan

not a C programmer, unfortunally..

but if you feel up to it, make it an option to enable/disable subst from the software?

great work,btw!!

XBMC offers, in my opinion, a better user experience. And it would allow, at long last, for high definition video playback.

so YOU go ahead and do it.

we have given you our opinions on doing a port. accept it
