What I wonder is how you were able to install these packages without getting dependency problems. I had to force install some of these packages myself.

Hey Guys,

Is it possible to share the build scripts for the ubuntu and xbmc live specific packages.?

I'm able to compile xbmc from source but then I need to hack the /etc/event.d/tty1 and .xsession to get things working on my xbmc live system.

It would definitely help if you could post the build scripts to make my owne xbmc-standalone (xbmc_*-jaunty1_i386.deb, xbmc-skin-pm3-hd_*-jaunty1_i386.deb, xbmc-common_*-jaunty1_i386.deb, xbmc-web-pm3_*-jaunty1_i386.deb) and xbmc-live packages instead.

The command I'm using right now to build my own packages is:

Code:

sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=no --pkgname=xbmc --pkgversion "1:0.svn.r`svn info | grep Revision: | awk -F": " '{ print $2 }'`-0.0ubuntu1" --default --pakdir "../debs"

ernham, If you figure this out it, It would be great if you could write a how to. I have been looking for a way to compile from SVN and still use xbmc live.

I had a quick look at the buildlog and it seems that they are using a more advanced build meganism located on /home/buildd/. Would be very nice to have a more detailed look at this!

I just went though the last few pages. I want to downgrade to 22528. I run Ubunti minimal with XBMC (may) updated to 23422. In 23422 video_ts playback is broken, and I need a newer version than may to run mediastream redux.

I saw two posts, first this:

and then later this:

Do I need to do both, and in this order?
I tried yesterday but got messages/errors about current installed version being newer and dependencies, so I assume I must somehow force this. I'd appreciate a helping hand. Also the xbmc-live in second code part confuses me as I never used xbmc live. It could well be that I shouldn't need to do this.

Hehe if you aren't running xbmc live or XBMCbuntu, then you won't need the second part.

Post your errors here, we might be available to help ya.

However are you sure you will need downgraded packages?, latest svn build is:
9.04.3+svn23539-jaunty1

Hopefully the video_ts problem is gone now?

so if i run Xbmc Live (9.04.1) / May 25 2009 (SVN:20654) and want to upgrade.. I typ all lines?
In Xbmc Safe mode?

when i type "sudo dpkg -i xbmc-common_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc-skin-pm3-hd_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc-web-pm3_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc-eventclients-common_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb"

this happens...


when....


The i Pkill Xbmc and Pkill Xorg... but that did not help




EDIT:

Now o i did
Apt-get updte
Apt-get upgrade
Apt-get -f install
apt-get install xmbc

and now i have a svn from 6 sep. and Unknown SNV ver. =)

So I figure it is working now?

Anyway I can't understand why you people don't wanna run the latest SVN. I just installed it and i have no problems with it, at all.

Doesn't the latest SVN still have some issues?

I really like some of the other skins and some of the new features (like additional VDPAU settings etc.) but am looking for somethign stable (the wife has to be able to use it without complaint).

Hi,

the only issue I still have is broken/garbled subtitles (SSA/ASS ones) with VDPAU (often use in animes).

I'm running svn version from october the 10th on jaunty minimal ubuntu install (no gnome/KDE).

See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=4...post416398 for more info.

regards,
Typhoe

working and working !!! hummm...

I dont know what svn ver i have but....

I want i good stable that runs Showmix perfect.... and they say it svn: 22516

so i want to downgrade to that !!!!

I managed to downgrade finally. Collected bits and piece everywhere from the forum and forced an install., I gues probably some steps are not required, but it worked. This is what I did:

I know what you mean guys, XBMC crashes a bit too often these days.. But some older SVN versions are even more unstable then the latest one. After all you can't expect the SVN versions to be completly stable.

kees667, i did exactly like you except i used apt-get remove xbmc instead of install.... wierd huh...

At least it works :-) Wanted to post here in case someone else could use it.

Now running 22528 but an ISO file doesn't work. I need r23534. I am a little confused with all the versions. I saw this guide here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=54350 which uses


will that get me a recent build like 23534 ?
