In your dock, does an XBMC icon appear?

[Sugar Ape]

Yeah it's in the dock, when I click on it the icon jumps up and down once then nothing happens. It's really frustrating me now!

[DJLJ]

ok, that seems like it is quitting. Can you go to Applications->Console, chose to clear the console and then launch the app again. Paste the output in here.

After I deleted it and clicked it again this came up:

 

30/04/2013 17:03:06.404 XBMC[922]: CPSGetCurrentProcess(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

30/04/2013 17:03:06.404 XBMC[922]: CPSSetForegroundOperationState(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

When I click the icon it just bounces up and down once and nothing happens. I found what looked like a solution here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?pid=1375254 but it didn't work after I set the audio to stereo.

Also getting constant crashes at startup under Mac OS X 10.6.8 32 bit (Mac Mini), reverting to 12.0 resolves this issue.

I’m on Mac Mini OS X 10.8.3 and same crash issue. 12.1 crashes before opening. Console shows:

 

23/03/13 10:10:19.639 PM XBMC[310]: CPSGetCurrentProcess(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

23/03/13 10:10:19.639 PM XBMC[310]: CPSSetForegroundOperationState(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

23/03/13 10:10:20.345 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[153]: ([0x0-0x30030].com.teamxbmc.xbmc[310]) Exited with code: 255

 

So looks like there is a problem with 12.1 and reverting to 12.0 fixes the problem. I'd try that one instead.

Thanks for that, I got it working about an hour and a half ago by installing a nightly build Index of /nightlies/osx that someone recommended on a forum. To be honest I don't even know what that is, but it worked anyway!

 

I just don't think the new version is compatible with my Mac. Fuck knows why. Cheers for trying anyway.

If you can't get on with XBMC, you might want to give Plex a go.

 

Get Plex!

 

It has very similar functions to XBMC (devs branched off from main XBMC project) - but has a server and client approach. So you can get clients on anything - iPhone, Android whatever, and also can access the server remotely, so access your media at work, or mobile.

Out of interest, how are you getting on with this?

 

Now I've cancelled Sky, I'm thinking of getting one

After a few teething problems it's pretty much perfect now.

 

Really easy to set up, I've got the TiVo box, PS3 and Mac plugged into the AV received with a HDMI lead and one HDMI lead from the receiver to the TV and that's all the wires sorted.

 

Had a bit of a problem installing XBMC on the Mad but once I sorted it then I've had no problems. Watched the full series of The Americans, some episodes of Elementary and most of Bates Motel all in HD without any issue and a few films like The Place Beyond The Pines.

 

The quality of the footy isn't great on it, but it's free so you can't complain really. All in all I'm happy with it.

Cheers. Sounds like the perfect set up
