Tonight's Build (Rev.12482) Loads but stays at a black screen.

It shows the XBMC logo, then goes to a black screen and sits like it's frozen.

D4rk introduced a common profile handling for all three ports. Platform dependent paths can be activated by passing -p on the command line. Without -p it uses the XBMC binary directory for all things. I have to remove the second mapping of T: because this is what causes you problems.
Anyhow cleaning your profile will have the same effect

Could you give an example of the command line argument?

Thanks

mmh there's a little more broken. Have to check it.

So fixed in recent svn. Command line options are -p for platform directories (user\App Data\XBMC), -q for quite mode and -fs for fullscreen.

And the build can be downloaded from?

Source? From the SVN repository. Currently nowhere for self compiled versions like djdafreund's.

I know CI that it's nowhere to download. I was rather poking with my finger at WiSo (doing great job BTW). I was wondering if building some kind of weekly win32 build would be a big hassle. I tried to build myself but I am totally lost in developing, I am more like a infrastructure guy. Is it big PITA to buld win32 port now? If it is - I can understand that we gonna get win32 builds once in a few weeks. If it's not - some kind of regular build schedule would be beneficial for development of the linux/win32 port. I would do it, but I am lame ass in dev enviroments as I said before

It was actually freezing when using -p actually, but it sounds like something was fixed since then in the SVN. So i'll build another one in a minute and run it again. Thanks.
As far as regular builds, i wouldn't mind uploading mine to a designated acceptable place for others, so more users can help troubleshoot and debug stuff. I build them every other day or more anyway.
I'd still like to get help on a Build.bat compatible file, like you can build for the DX version, instead of having to load up VC2003 and 'Build XBMC', then also use Build.bat/PC DX version to get the updated XBMC directory files. Currently it gives an error when trying to run the original Build.bat due to some files not being found. I'm not good enough with that area to fix it for proper usage.

WOW what a massive list of SVN updates for 04-05-08!!!! Nice to see!!!!

Update- Yes, it's working again now (using '-p' of course)!!! Thanks for the fixes. That did the trick.
