I just downloaded xbmc yesterday and can't seem to get it shutdown. I am on windows xp.

Thanks

We need to see a debug log. Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, and restart XBMC then wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Close XBMC and if it hangs just kill it. Now run XBMC again, then close it and again if necessary kill it.

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Note that the release version of XBMC, v10.1, is about to be replaced by v11.0. I would try the beta 2 of v11.0 from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/win32/ because that fixed a shutdown problem that we found in v10.1.

thank you

I followed your suggestion and downloaded/installed 11.0 beta 2. Same problem.

The log you will find here is from that version.

That log is from v10.1. Note the first line of the log:

Code:

NOTICE: Starting XBMC, Platform: Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 build 2600. Built on Mar  8 2011 (Git:e9e9099, compiler 1500)

Also you haven't enabled debug logging.

Are you sure you are running Eden beta 2? It's easy to tell because the default skin, Confluence, has changed from a vertical layout to a horizontal layout.
