Hello all,

I've been trying to get one of the newer SVN builds to work correctly so that I could fully use the functionality of newer skins (Rapier, MediaStream Redux) but every single build I try has it's own set of problems.

Now, I know these builds are unsupported, but can anyone give me some advice?

The builds that I have tried are and ran:

23451 - Always runs windowed, but works...however skins won't install because it says they require a newer skin version...


22528 - A recommended build, but it does not play anything (music or video).
The error log contains mostly:

ERROR: exception in CApplication::FrameMove()
"WARNING: Win32DllLoader::ResolveExport - Unable to resolve: MADCodec.dll mad_frame_init"

ERROR: Unable to resolve exports from dll special://xbmc/system/players/paplayer/MADCodec.dll
ERROR: exception in CApplication::FrameMove()

ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - failed to load ffmpeg libraries
ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer


SO, my question would be which build is "stable" enough to use for these new skins? Or how do I fix the above? Or, do I just keep trying builds?

Sounds like you've been using bad builds or aren't installing them correctly.

None of those problems should have ever been an issue.

I wish that were the case...

I have been installing them via full installers, not updates. Before installing, I uninstalled the previous version and manually deleted the XBMC folder within documents and settings/etc..

EDIT:

Build 22856-gl seems to work okay for me, but the taskbar is always showing. If I hide it, then I just see my wallpaper where it should be :/

EDIT:

Erp, nevermind. "We require skins 2.10 or higher" - oops - skin was stacked in two directories skins/rapier/rapier
