Hello, I'm new to XBMC. I got it to work but for me to open XBMC, I have to restart my laptop then open XBMC immediately. If I don't open it immediately, after restarting my laptop, it won't open at all. I just got Eden Beta if it helps. Thanks.

We need to see a debug log for a failed start.

In XBMC enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging. Close XBMC and try and run it again, and presumably it will hang. Kill XBMC.

If you're using Windows 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.

If you're not using Windows see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_File for how to get at the debug log.

Thanks for the reply. After I closed XBMC, it never opened again. I'm not sure if I did this right . . . http://pastebin.com/CC4crdpU

That log is from the last time XBMC ran successfully.

I wonder if XBMC is failing to exit. After you've rebooted and run then closed XBMC, look in Task Manager to see if there is a process called XBMC.exe still running.

There's XBMC.exe *32.

[jhsrennie]

Aha, XBMC.exe*32 is XBMC. What's happening is that XBMC is failing to close properly. Then when you try and run it again it won't run because it's already running.

The easiest fix for this is to uninstall XBMC and install the Eden beta 2 instead (from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/win32/). There were a few bugs in XBMC v10.1 that could cause the effect you see, and they have been fixed in Eden.
