I can emerge xbmc > 12.0. When I want to run it I get a black screen. (running it from KDE) Nothing else is happening. Also xbmc 12.0 refuses to play mms streams. To solve this I do: -cp xbmc-12.0.ebuild xbmc-12.2.ebuild (this solves the black screen) -ad --disable-external-ffmpeg \ to the src_configure() -> econf section of the ebuild. (this solves playing mms streams) -ebuild xbmc-12.2.ebuild digest -emerge xbmc So it seems that: -the changes in the ebuild from 12.0 to 12.1 broke xbmc (at least on my system) -external ffmpeg brakes xbmc (see also bug #466718 for another way external ffmpeg breaks ffmpeg) Simon
you must post `emerge --info` as an attachment to all of your bugs you should also post the output from running: emerge -qpv =xbmc-12.0 emerge -qpv =xbmc-12.1 emerge -qpv =xbmc-12.2 many USE flags have been added with newer ebuilds, so it's likely your system disables features that you otherwise need/want
