I’m building KODI on VS2017, I’ve followed all instructions, the project builds fine but when running it silently quits without warning (or anything in the logs).
I (painstakingly) traced this issue to reading the Home.xml of the skin, specifically when TinyXML is parsing it.
Edit: I’m not even sure anymore, it seems like sometimes it’s Startup.xml, sometimes it’s Home.xml, sometimes it’s the one it processes after both…
Things I’ve tried:
Changing the file’s encoding (I think the problem has to do with that?)
Building with VS2015, latest updates (with all the build steps from the start)
Switcing to the master branch (initially I had garbear’s RetroPlayer branch)
Asking for help in #kodi-dev. Kodi [rechi] tried to help me yesterday and today but we obviously didn’t get anywhere.
Noone else from there has responded.
I can get you logs from our discussion for extra info on the issue, or you can just ask me.
If you want to help me reply here or contact me on Freenode, handle is “Vel0city”.
Thank you.
