No playback of anysort! (dvds, avi, etc.)

Posted on Thursday 11 March 2010

  • ok, so i just got my xbmc up and running. only problem is, it won't play anything. if i click on an avi for it to play, nothing happens, same thing for dvds. anyone wanna try to help me on this? :help:


  • don't mean to be unhelpful, but...

    1. have you read the manual?
    2. if you don't have the manual, a 10-second search will point you to it.
    3. once you have read the manual and tried to fix whatever it is that is wrong with your setup, and it still doesn't work...
    4. post the log file here so others will have a chance to help you.
    5. you will know how to post the log file once you've read the manual or done a search.

    no-one can help you without more info. lots more info.

  • i believe that the "parse" error means you have mplayer in the wrong location. in new builds, it goes in xbmcroot/system/players/mplayer. in old builds, it was in xbmcroot/mplayer.

    there was an interim time where both were supported. if you have a video option of "use alternate mplayer", then you have one of the interim builds.


  • bump... anyone know what could be going on here?


  • well, here's what i got off the log file... p.s. there are actually two log files, one named xbmc, and one named xbmc.old needless to say they are identical.
