XMBC, FTP, and cannot connect - kainalu - 2011-07-18 Hello All, THis is my first time posting here, and I have a problem that I can't seem to get google to help me with. I have an FTP server (local) serving out my movie collection, complete with NFO files and all. When I try to update my clients, XBMC insists that I sit there and lean on the yes button in the dialogue : Unable to connect to server, would you like to continue scanning. The frequency that this appears leads me to consider that there may be a problem, as it is near impossible to actually get anything done until the update is complete. Being as that I want XBMC to simply do it's job until it is finished, and all the data is local on the server, is there a way to instruct the program to do so? Instead of clicking yes 80-90 times in a 10 minute window, perhaps I can tell it "always yes?" Thank you for having a look, and Thank you for the absolutely cool program. - Ned Scott - 2011-07-18 if I were you I would want to figure out why the problem is happening in the first place. However, we can't help you at all without a debug log http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42708 Windows http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=47124 Mac http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34655 Linux http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=92480 iOS - kainalu - 2011-07-18 INFO : Server : Core I7 3.06GHz, 6GB ram, Gigabit network.

Sure would like to fix it for good, but a rock to put on that yes button would do too. - kainalu - 2011-07-18 I realized I didn't have debug on. Here is a much more complete file, with plenty errors. http://pastebin.com/CqdkNkiw - jhsrennie - 2011-07-18 Curl error 9 is "access denied" e.g. DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(09B0F0C0) ftp://[email protected]:21/Movies/Alexander%20%282004%29/ WARNING: XFILE::CFileCurl::CReadState::FillBuffer: curl failed with code 9 If you ftp to your server as anon and attempt to cd to /Movies/Alexander (2004)/ does it work? FTP is well down on the list of best protocols to use with XBMC. Can you use SMB instead? JR - kainalu - 2011-07-18 I switched from using SMB for other problems, that were much more inconvenient. Now that I know the exact problem, I can try to find the root cause behind the server rejecting the connection. If it is not easy to fix, is there a way to simply tell XBMC to press on, and stop asking if it should continue? A "yes to all" button? That would be the easiest fix, as simply telling it to continue will actually allow it to connect and continue. EDIT : Forgot to answer your other question : Yes, I can perform all file operations. I frequently use Filezilla to shuttle stuff around. |
