Hi guys,

I'm new to MediaPortal and also new to the source. I have pulled the latest code from svn and, after some trial and error not being able to compile some missing projects, have a folder with the following directories:

Common-MP-TVE3
DirectShowFilters
mediaportal
Tools
This all compiles fine and will begin to run up.

When I run it up, I initially get a FileNotFoundException on "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.xml". I continue from this until I am greeted with a "MediaPortal Configuration" dialog. I select "Standard mode" and click "Continue".

It then reports "MediaPortal Configuration has stopped working". When I attach the debugger to the separate configuration process that was launched, it appears a load of files are missing. I don't have the list on me at the moment, let me know if you need this (I'm secretly hoping this is a common stumbling block for new developers!).

It's worth noting that I haven't gone through the process of installing MediaPortal as an application on this computer yet. I tried that once and still couldn't get things to debug nicely, so I uninstalled it again.

I'm here asking for advice on how to start.

Thanks in advance.

Adam
