2 points:

win7-32 confluence

A scrolling metadata line (eg. on BBC radio streams), if long, extends beyond the box border on the right

I don't see any times under the playing line

Radio streams don't have times.

Will fix the line being too long...

It's all to do with the way xbmc rather dumbly handles settings...

@sdsnyr - could I get your log file - but yep I think that will be a user permissions issue...I will improve the handling and raise a notification in this case.

Which log files do you need? Just xbmc?

I will post them when I am back at that PC tomorrow.


- bossanova808 - 2012-02-23 06:38

Yep, just xbmc.

I will probably do 0.3.1 before then if I can work out WTF is going on with unicode at all the various ends....

I think pastebin is having an issue, so I am having trouble uploading the log. Not sure how much it would help you though, since it says:

14:36:19 T:140387473164032 NOTICE: XSqueeze0.3: chmod +x the Squeezeslave binaries - success

Yet the file is still not marked as executable.

hmmm ok that means the system call is not raising an exception which is....odd.

os.chmod gave me permissions errors, so I (on advice) changed that to os.system - which may return ok even if the actual command fails. Guess I'll look into it but I supect it will only affect users with funny users - that said, by definition, your xbmc user must be able to write to where the binaries are, right? Can you switch to that user and manually try 'chmod a+x squeezeslave' for me (i.e. I know your actual user account can do it, but you run xbmc under another user right?)?

That was on my work laptop, which I only had XBMC on to play with xsqueeze the other day.... I will create an 'xbmc' user on my Linux Mint 12 box and see if that makes a difference.

Well, on Mint 12 my normal user had no trouble with the add-on... add-on updated and chmoded the file without issues... must of been something odd with my work laptop. I may create a virtual machine of Ubuntu 11.10 this weekend and see if I can duplicate the problem, just to rule out an OS specific bug.

Thanks again for the great work you are doing on the add-on.


- bossanova808 - 2012-02-24 08:23

No problems - you should ahve got a pop up message when you ran it anyway, and I don't think there is much more I can do in this area.

I will pause for a bit on the add on I think, just to give it time to spread and for people to use it, and whil I consider the next step (library/playlist side, basically).

0.3.2 out, major new feature is unicode is fixed (assuming you use a skin with unicode support)
