XBMC for specific FAQs about XBMC running under Windows, Windows computer hardware, and Windows operating-system squestions.

How many win32 ports are available

There are two existing Windows ports of XBMC

  • XBMC.exe (build from the linux branch, using SDL/OpenGL)
  • XBMC_PC.exe (build from the xbox trunk, using DirectX)

About XBMC.exe (SDL/OpenGL)

The SDL version is the Windows future of XBMC. The codebase is under development and and is the base for the Linux, MacOSX and Windows ports. This FAQ will ONLY deal with the SDL version!

About XBMC_PC.exe (DirectX)

The DirectX version is only for skin and python development. You won't get support for it since it is only adapted to reflect the skin and python changes.
