Hi folks, I'm having trouble getting the XBMC MythTV PVR add-on working in WinXP. Googled that the problem was addressed in v1.6.8 of the cmyth plugin, so I followed this guide and successfully built v1.6.9 of the plugin on my laptop running Win7 x64 Home Ultimate. I transferred the new plugin to my HTPC running (32 bit) XP Pro SP3. However, on execution I ended up getting runtime error 126, similar to the error 127 I encountered with v1.6.6 and v.1.6.7 of the plugin:

1.6.9

At this point I just need a push in the right direction. There seems to be a library incompatibility here but I'm not sure how to approach it. It will be very difficult to build this package natively on the XP system, so is it even feasible to build this for a different target on my Win7 system?

TIA for any help!

Try compiling on the target machine. Compiling for 32bit target on a 64bit machine will be difficult unless you have cross-compiling properly set up.

Currently there is no 64bit version of XBMC for windows. So building on your desktop should work, and that's how I tested it as well.
Please make sure that you select the "RELEASE" build configuration.

Also make sure you have the correct version of the MS VC++ redistributable package installed on your htpc.
But I think you should have that if you installed Frodo from the official installer and did not uncheck that part of the installation.

If you can't get it to work, download http://www.dependencywalker.com to your HTPC, run it on the addon dll, export a snapshot and upload it, then I'll have a look.

I also tried to compile the latest version of MythTV Plugin for XBMC with similar results. Version 1.7.10 I think.

I then compiled 1.6.8 and it works. Finally I can run XBMC with the MythTV PVR plugin on my XP computer.

you cannot run version 1.7.x on Frodo. it only runs on the latest builds from master. the PVR changed, so the add-on is no longer compatible.
