As usual no support ... and so on.
for file share without all the hassle of megaupload you can try even
http://www.mediafire.com/
free, fast, simple.
I've passed to it from some time as megauplead was very annoying with the 1 file per time + waiting time
WiSo: it worked perfectly!!!!!
MKV, h.264, WMV, DivX all fine :)
Continue like that :) Outstanding!
When I choose scripts it hangs.
here the logs:

great work, i am really excited about this
One question: SPDI/F out does work? is it managed from the host operating system?
sorry to ask but right now I'm not able to get it connected to the amply :) but before buying cable and so on... :)

Works for me. I just selected digital under audio settings. Of course it was working in Windows priot to trying this.
On the windows version i'm pretty sure it uses Direct Audio (as in DirextX) which scales or passes though what ever windows has set too
hopefully someoen is able to help
ive been running xbmc on linux and thought id try the windows version
this is what i did.
Copied over my linux compiled working install to my windows box
installed the sdl.net
copied the glew32.dll to the root of my xbmc folder
i then dloaded the the file at the start of this thread and ran it
bingo xbmc loads up
now i go to play a movie and nothing happens at all.
if i click on a movie or audio file its as if i didnt and im able to just continue browsing the file menu
is there anything i did wrong? the linux compile is form teh svn about 3 days old from today

Awesome! Thanks! Video playback is working great with this one. I'm still testing it with the 2008-02-10 T3CH build.
I'm not sure if this is specific to me or not but the music library isn't working with this one. It only has "playlists" and "search" listed in the menu. I tried rescanning but no luck. I also haven't bothered scanning any video items to the library yet so I'm not sure if that is working or not. I know there isn't any support here so I'm not really asking for a solution, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem?
Also, does the library database get stored in the usual \XBMC\UserData\Database directory or should I be able to find it in in "C:\Users\[myaccount]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\UserData" (Vista, I think it's "C:\Documents and Settings\..." under XP)?
Wow, full colour on my ATI card.
AVI's playback fine but MKV's don't like digital audio - they run at twice the speed and with no sound.

I'm having the same issue, on both an older XBMC-PC compile, as well as the one from this thread. Also installed sdl.net and copied glew32.dll into the folder, XBMC loads fine - just no response when I try to play a file.
So I'm curious to see if there's a resolve.

I get this with an AC3 avi file. Non AC3 seem fine.

Take a look at the "10 Steps to XBMC on Windows" thread on how to gt it running.
nice build but in this version is "rarplay" broken
rarfiles dont open by klick on it
thanks crazyivan. i redid everything and followed that guide. itseems i had pretty much done all the steps by myself already.
i did make some more progress though
now the file will play however i get audio and no video. so soomething is happening. so the audi is playing but teh screen just goes blank ( black )

I tried the SVN from Today 10.3.2008 ! Video just works fine with a little bit lag on mkv Files.Audio Plays good.But when Audio Plays...i can feell some Lag...you can feel it when you move your mouse.And the Time from mp3s runs faster when playing mp3 Files.
In Tech release i was able to stream from FTP...in SVN it doesnt work.
thats what i can say =).... but dont stop this good work !!!
Another questiion (littlebit offtopic)
When xbmc is loaded (Fullscreen) i Press my StandbyButton ( s3 ) to finish it.When i wake up my system from Standby the XBMC.exe or xbmc is minimized.
Is ther a Way or registryhack where the Aplication is maximized when i wakeup from standyby ?
cheers !

Video is still broken for me. I updated to this new version and the latest t3ch build and video still does not work properly. I get a clear picture in the top left side of the screen and then artifacting on the rest of the screen.
I am using:
OS: vista ultimate sp1
Video Card : ATI AIW x1800
Video Driver: 03/05/08 latest driver from ati
Video Out: DVI to Westinghouse 1080p monitor
Mp3s seem to play fine through a mapped network drive

I’d like to thank all the devs working on this I love XBMC. There isn’t anything any were near as good for windows, VlC and foobar 2000 come close but having one app for all your media need would be amazing. I can’t wait to give this a go unfortunately; I’ve followed the steps and keep getting the same two errors which crashes it on start up. I realise there is no support from the devs my problem is as follows if any user have a solution I’m all ears.
C:/Documents and Settings/Kerry/Application Data\sources.xml: Line 0, Failed to open file
XBMC/language/English/keyboardmap.xml: Failed to open file at line 0
http://pastebin.com/m1f9dc005
I’ve tried all 3 releases and it’s the same errors every time
I tried to place the sources.xml manually in C:/Documents and Settings/Kerry/Application Data\ but I could only find it in older t3ch builds and it this just changed the error to “sources.xml is malformed” I couldn’t even find a English keyboardmap.xml file. I searched the branch and trunk source code as well as the t3ch builds the only reference I found was in the Linux source code and that was a German keyboardmap.xml
I’d love to know what I’m doing wrong as know else seem to be having this problem if anyone has come across this and knows how to rectify please share the wealth.

Which version are you talking about? There are a few different builds floating around.

I get the same issues with this download, if i run the download that still uses run me first bat file, it works great.. That version still works best for me too... the one from the initial "10 Steps" post. Video playback works great in it. Library mode works great too. No visualizations for music but that isn't a big deal and SMB isn't working but that is no problem since you can just map all your shares to a disk drive in windows.
C:/Documents and Settings/Kerry/Application Data\sources.xml: Line 0, Failed to open file
Did you tried deleting the directory C:\Documents and Settings\Kerry\Application Data\XBMC completely? Not sure if it helps you with the build from the 9th but it helped me out after spending too much time with debugging.
It is great that XBMC is being ported to Windows, and I am having no problems at all using it... It just works! Keep up the good work guys!
I hope at one point Mythtv will be available to Windows as well, hence bringing PVR functions to Windows through XBMC... Then it will be a string solution indeed!
I one issue with opening .img files, and play the contents. Issue was fixed when I copied the libdvdcss-2.dll file from the XBMC\system\players\dvdplayer to %windir%\system32\

It's enough to copy it to the XBMC root directory.

libcmyth is linked to the windows build an the function should be available. But I could be wrong. Have no chance to test it and didn't look that deep into it.
Have had fun playing with the current Win32 releases over the last couple of days. It's amazing how far along it is already.
I've had success with the 10 steps and the Win32 exe from this thread on my Shuttle SD11G5 with Geforce 6600GT and a custom built Intel D201GLY2 mini-itx board with SIS Mirage 1 on-board video. Video playback is spot on, IMDB lookup is working and music playback all good. GUI is great on the Shuttle and just a little choppy on the D201GLY2.
Fantastic progress, looking forward to more releases.

I wanted to mention that using the download link on the 1st page, video plays just fine for me. I'm using x64 Pro. Granted i know SMB doesn't work just, other then for now you have to manually edit it, posters mentioned, it works fine that way. Overall everything is working just fine.
ok i got it to work looks like the version on 09/03/2008 was my problem.
so i tried 02/10 build that i saw someone was using in this thread and movies played with the exe from this thread.
:) pretty pumped look forward to its continued progress so when i build my mates HTPC i dont have to put linux on and confuse the heck out of him :)
where are the gui settings stored now? its not in the userdata like before and I screwed up a res setting and I can't undo it now. data is stored somewhere other than the directory sine I tried a fresh folder with the exe and still had the issue

Yep, this is getting confusing without knowing what version you are using :). It depends Darpz. With Art's build they are stored in the userdata folder at the same location as your exe. With Wiso's latest they are stored under <system drive>:\documents and settings\<user>\app_data\XBMC....
Tested this and it works fine on the 03-09 t3ch release for me. Amazing to see how well it's functioning. Also, thanks to the poster above who mentioned the libdvdcss-2.dll fix as well. I was having a problem with that and assumed it was due to the early nature of the project rather than an easily fixed problem causing the issue. (And I'm an idiot for not trying that)
Thanks for your work on this, Wiso and pretty please keep at it :)

Thanks, but keep in mind that more people work on this. I just post the build to see how it works.

Understood. As you're the only dev that I'm aware of posting in here this was directed towards you. I extend my thanks to the rest of you as well :)
weird colours problem sorted but another problem now. My mobo (asus m2a-vm) has hdmi and dvi. When I launch xbmc in ful screen using the hdmi to hdmi cable the screen is blank. Its fine though when using a dvi to hdmi . Even when i exit XBMC it still blank and i have to rebbot to get the sceen back. Any ideas?
