Hi I'm using fedora 11,

I installed xbmc from the rpm's at fedorajunkies. I encountered the following problem:
http://www6.frugalware.org/index.php/XBMC_Legacy_Instructions

So I moved the /usr/local/xbmc/languages/English (US) folder to /usr/bin/local/xbmc/languages/English
and this allowed xbmc to run without any labels on the buttons. The wiki then suggested replacing strings.xml from http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...hrev=14934 which results in the following error:

Code:

216 WARNING: Trying to access old style dir: D:\media\media\Textures.xpr

any ideas? I've tried compiling from source, but that's proving to be problematic as well.

thanks.

Intersting. Could you do a "head" on the file and ensure that it indeed does contain the strings header?

Also pastebining a full debug report will be what the devs want to see, they don't like snips.

Hi,

Sure no problem.

Here's the pasebin for the xbmc log after I start xbmc

http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266358/


and I did a head -n 30 for the strings .xml. There were two strings.xml
on sourceforge one 700K and the other was 17k. I tried both.

I see. You're downloading the file in the wrong fashion. You're not actually downloading the file. What you need to do is:

Click strings.xml (The mouse over will say "View Revision log file").

Click "download" near the top of the page next to "Links to HEAD:"

That is the strings.xml.

It should get you up and running.
