Hi Guys,

Firstly, this isn't a question about compiling or anything like. I have no problems there, it's grabbing the source code itself that I'm finding a pain.

I'm wanting to have a look at the XBMC code to see if I can make sense of it and possibly help out with bug fixes sometime. However, I'm having a bad time of it getting hold of the source code as I've never used the CVS system before.

I've got my hands on TortoiseCVS, and have used the settings I've found on the Sourceforge site and Frodo's post on the XBMC.de forums, but I can't seem to connect. Lots seems to have happened in regards to the hosting on Sourceforge since Frodo's post too, so I'm not too sure what's still right and what's wrong.

I've got three main questions:

1) When it asks for a password, supposedly you leave it blank and just press enter. I do this yet it keeps asking for a password.

2) I read on the XBMC forum that the module should be 'XBMC', and not 'xbmc'. However, the Sourceforge page says it should be all lowercase. Anyone got an idea as to what it should be? I've tried both uppercase and lowercase and have yet to get it working, so I'm sure it's something else, but I just wanted to check this.

3) I've read that it's been all change regarding the path to the files on the sourceforge servers. Still, I've been using the path that Sourceforge says to use but I'm in no luck either.

This here is a link to my current configuration. If someone could have a look to see if they can see any immediate problems with it I'd be grateful. And if you see anything, can you tell me exactly what I need to change to?

Thanks

Ahhh, I think it might be the Server Shell bit that's wrong as I believe that's for developers.

I tried using the "Password Server :pserver:" option instead, however it says 'no such user'. Then I tried to change the username to just 'anonymous' but it also said 'no such user'

Getting closer, but still not there.
Any help is still appreciated

Hi Jaydee,

Thanks for your response, but that link was the thread I was talking about when I spoke of Frodo's post on the XBMC.de forum.

Using those settings, and the ones on the linked Sourcepage page, just don't seem to be working for me. It keeps saying that there's no such user, and that login was rejected. Here's the error message:

[email protected]:/cvsroot/xbmc co XBMC

NOT

[email protected]:/cvsroot/xbmc co xbmc

or just

[email protected]:/cvsroot/xbmc

Settings in General tab:

Auth: Pserv
Path: /cvsroot/xbmc
Host adress: cvs.sourceforge.net
Username: anonymous
CVS Root: [email protected]:/cvsroot/xbmc

I tried a anon checkout and guess what, works 100% with the settings _Frodo_ gives in the thread i posted above.

Thanks for your help, but no need to get sarcastic.

If you'd read my posts correctly, you'd have seen that I'd never disputed that Frodo's settings were wrong, I merely said that I couldn't get them working and wanted to know where I was going wrong.

If I can't get it to authenticate then fair enough, but the sarcasm was a bit immature.

Thanks anyway.
