Some questions

[Morph]

Hello and thanks for a great forum and a great program!! I have been using XBMC for years and I have been looking at these forums as well. Now I see that its possible to run XBMC under w32

I have downloaded the newest version of XBMC (xbox) and tried out the .exe that is provided with that one. Is this the same as running the "XBMC for W32" or is this two different programs?

If so, where to download the W32 version? (I have tried the link in other post, but seems like I have to register to something? )

I understand that the xbox version is not to find "in public" beacuse of XDK or something? Is this the same with the W32 version?

Hope that someone can answer this "stupid" questions. Keep up the great work

here is the link to the down load.. you don't need to register, just wait 45 seconds and then it will work..

this explains the two other files you will need and how to make it work..



Yeah baby!

Here's a link to the SDL runtime file installer and GLEW files that I needed to grab to get it to run:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cs-...1&big_mirror=0

https://sourceforge.net/project/down....5.0-win32.zip

I created an XBMC directory, dropped this executable in there along with the glew32.dll, installed the SDL runtime, downloaded the latest T3CH release and put the contents of its XBMC directory in my new one. Moved the run_me_first.bat script from the T3CH win32 directory to my XBMC directory and ran it. XBMC starts and runs. Is there anyway to make it go full screen? F11 doesn';t seem to do anything Will play with it some more.

Thanks ArtVandelae!! Having the three major OS's covered can't help but make XBMC even more popular.

How should I edit the run first batch file if I already have a drive P: Q: and T: on my computer?

Add a -fs behind the Exe File should do the trick

For now I don't think you can do anything as those drives are hardcoded into the XBMC. Reading other threads it seems that some work is being done towards changing it, but since we stuck with the build from Feb 2nd (I tried to compile newer SVN trunk myself but failed miserably ) you have to run this batch.

Windows profiles are more or less support via a patch on SF. Unfortunately the recent svn doesn't work in full screen even with Arts patch. I contacted him about this and he said the build was a kind of a hack and full screen needs to be implemented in some clean way to commit it.

Thanks for answer, the links dont work ?
Still I am wondering, is it the same program. XBMC for Windows and XBMC for XBOX (T3CH) ?

I have managed to get the xbox version running in windows with the provided .exe. I`m confused

No problem getting fullscreen here:

Can you play Videos with this Version ?

I get this:


Black and White Playback both on my Laptop and Home PC.

The source is a NTSC Movie with 23 FPS

As I understood by some of the Dev's the T3ch release uses a different method to built the Win32 Version...

Maybe we are just to early ;-)

[dpassent]

Well t3ch version is DirectX version. You cannot do proper full screen on it. You can only max the window that XBMC renders. The SDL version of XBMC PC build uses SDL library which is OpenGL library (that under Win32 actually wraps around DX but it's not important for the explanation) and you can run proper full screen in it.

Morph: Did you understand what WiSo wrote? We have older SDL build (from Feb 2nd I think). We have Feb 29th today and what WiSo wrote is that we can't build PC SDL version from SVN right now because it breaks. So we stuck with this Feb 2nd build.
