This seems to be some weird problem that people are having...
For some people it doesnt work and for some (including me) it works.
Maybe this is a bug in PCBSD or something?

Yeah, I tried it twice on two different machines. No go. Curious. :?

We have been discussing this same problem in the [PBI Bug ?] [0.82] XMMS thread. I don't think we have reached a conclusion as to why this is happening.

I was wondering if someone for whom the installation was successful could check the MD5 sum of the working XMMS .pbi file and post it. The one I have (that doesn't work) is:

MD5 (XMMS1.2.10-PV1.1.pbi) = 3a0b3d08a46b13df73495664c103b64b

I also tried to install XMMS, but nothing happens :?

Ok, looks to me like an issue with the PBI itself rather than the system or PBI Installer. I've mailed the maintainer with a view of getting to the bottom of it and I'll let you guys know :wink:

The same thing happens for me with Skype... it just refuses to install.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I never installed xmms... Beep player is working fine

I have XMMS installed successfuly just a few minutes ago.
Here is my MD5 (XMMS1.2.10-PV1.1.pbi) = af68c000fe1b352ba7adb38b619f4f53

XMMS starts normaly - but i got a question - is it a bug or a feature that xmms pbi goes without mpg123 or any other engine to play music? As i remember the XMMS cant play music as a standalone tool... So maybe it'll be better to include the "low-level" sound files playing engine to the pbi of xmms to play music out from box?

regards, Gorthaur.

P.S. I can run XMMS but I cant add music files to the playlist - they arent appear.

I'm having the exact same problem as the post above...XMMS installs fine, but you can't add any music files to it.
