- Loaded Gun - 2006-11-19 Yes and i have no clue exactly what to do. - Nickman - 2006-11-19 Wow this is great work.. Now maybe when i have time i'll start making python scripts again I love that this is so quick and responsive. MediaPortal is SLOW on my computer. - pygmyrhinovirus - 2006-11-19 Since I already have drives Q, P, and Z mapped on my PC, I thought I could run this in VMWare. I can confirm that even though VMWare claims to support DirectX 8.1, dxdiag in vmware says otherwise. The exe runs fine, I get audio but no video, and the log shows no errors Quote:15:55:02 M:334163968 NOTICE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - pygmyrhinovirus - 2006-11-20 I'm dumb, I had not enabled 3D support in vmware. Right now, with 3d enabled I get the XBMC splash then it crashes. I'll play with it a little more and reports back. - pygmyrhinovirus - 2006-11-20 Why can't one edit their posts here? this is what it gives me in vmware with dirextx enabled and installed Quote:16:36:50 M:374546432 NOTICE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - jmarshall - 2006-11-20 norellid: Do a full debug log. It may give more info. You can set it in advancedsettings.xml - jmarshall - 2006-11-20 Don't bother (you were updating at the same time as I was It's due to the non-power of 2 texture usage. Will chat with elupus next time he's around and see if I can get a fix into SVN. Cheers, Jonathan - Coolgamer30 - 2006-11-20 I've just tried a new build with the fix for the non powers of 2 textures, but it still crashes right after the splash. Here is the log file: Code: 21:21:36 M:147902464 NOTICE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- XBMC PC. What's missing? - ashlar - 2006-11-20 Hi! I fully understand what prompted the creation of this build, so this is not a "whiney" message to get a fully working version. Being not a technical guy, though, I'd like some explanation regarding what's missing and what would be needed to make this complete. Both from a technical point of view and from a man-hours point of view. The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to understand if there is any chance of group-paying a programmer to complete the job (keeping it open source, not that it'd be up to me to decide, but that's what I'd plan to do). Thanks for your time and answers. - HarshReality - 2006-11-20 Its missing the media/data streaming crap. It wont be complete as JM made a shell for development purposes only and has stated clearly it will never be a full function clone. - jmarshall - 2006-11-20 ashlar Wrote:XBMC PC. What's missing? 1. Full network support. 2. Better threading - it all runs in one thread basically (like xbox) and the menu stuff is hacked in just by adding Sleep()'s so that it doesn't chew through the processor. 3. Video playback. Basically the output side of it needs redoing. Our codebase is almost completely setup for xbox in mind. mplayer + dvdplayer should run as soon as that is done. 4. Better audio playback. The current hacked version of paplayer was simply to see how painful it would be. 5. Support for directx dll's (and other dll's). This is needed for vis and screensaver stuff. 6. Voice support if you want Karaoke + voice over kai (the rest of kai already functions) 7. There seems an issue with the curl dll - I'm pretty sure it worked when I first ported things over, but it seems to be complaining now (and adding the export it was missing didn't seem to help). That's probably enough for starters. Others are free to work on it in any capacity they want - that's the joy of opensource. I'm personally not going to bother doing much more on it.

And bear in mind that I'm not saying necessarily that somebody from the XBMC team has to do that. I'm just curious as to how much work would the things JM listed be. One week full time? One month? Approximately, at least. - ashlar - 2006-11-20 Clarification (it's strange you can't edit messages): nobody on the XBMC *has* to do anything. I was just trying to convey some concept but maybe I chose the wrong words. They are all volunteers on their free time, which is enormously appreciated. I wouldn't even dream about supposing they *have* to do something. - ultrabrutal - 2006-11-20 There is a PC build of XBMC version 1 something.. It does require you to install your codecs manually, but it works pretty good as far as I recall - kraqh3d - 2006-11-20 You're right. That port of XBMC morphed into the Media Portal project. |
