Thanks Tom, helpful.

Please excuse my stupity, but I am trying to get the xbmc-server portion working. What I've done, created a directory under the cloned one called "xbmc-server", copied the 'xbmc-server.cpp' from post #108 and 'Makefile' from post #85 and I am now recompiling with the usual. I'm assuming this will produced the minified server binary?

Edit: realized it was the spaces in the Makefile causing issues

Re: xbmc minified as a server? - Tom. - 2012-11-02

From the looks of it, you just cd into that directory and run

Code:
make all

Not tried it myself though so could be wrong

RE: xbmc minified as a server? - Bootlegninja - 2012-11-02

This has gone beyond infuriating.

Now there's a missing separator on line 12. I have absolutely no idea in hell what that means.

xbmc-server makefile

Code:
SOURCES := xbmc-server.cpp

LFLAGS += -lxbmc -L..

# Objs are all the sources, with .cpp replaced by .o

OBJS := $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)

all: xbmc-server

        include ../Makefile.include

xbmc-server: $(OBJS)

    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o xbmc-server $(OBJS) $(LFLAGS) $(LIBS)

# Get a .o from a .cpp by calling compiler with cflags and includes (if defined)

.cpp.o:

    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -c $<

All I wanted was a quick and easy tool to scan the library on my NAS. Not weeks of feeling stupid and f**king up my OS.

almost there dude, make sure that you have tabs before the $(CC).. not spaces.. and make sure u copy Makefile (will overwrite existing, so backup) and xbmc-server.cpp in the xbmc tree and type "make all"

thank you. Although when I do make all, it essentially says nothing to do. I named the makefile make_xbmc-server and ran make -f make_xbmc-server all and it finally compiled fine.

My gdb output was small so It's getting posted here.

RE: xbmc minified as a server? - joelones - 2012-11-02

you need to enter "bt full" after "r" to get the trace, question why would you need xbmcVideoLibraryScan if you can run xbmc as a server and accept library updates via json?

RE: xbmc minified as a server? - joelones - 2012-11-02

So, I ended up with MyVideos72 again not 68, thought this was the hash I had to checkout to

Code:
xbmc@margerie:~/.xbmc$ sudo apt-cache policy xbmc

xbmc:

  Installed: 2:12.0~git20121006.1450-[b]af30ed9[/b]-0quantal

  Candidate: 2:12.0~git20121006.1450-af30ed9-0quantal

  Version table:

Code:
git checkout af30ed9

error: pathspec 'af30ed9' did not match any file(s) known to git.

guess i'll just go by date

So I went back to Oct 6 (git checkout 228f93a), but the ./configure --enable-shared-lib is bombing:

Quote:...

Edit: Nevermind guess something funky happened. Compiles now.

(2012-11-02, 17:22)bladesuk1 Wrote: a headless server is what most people want from this: a way to have access to the media library, to update it, to be able to send notifications to it via sickbeard, couchpotato, and so on. it's for people who have multiple xbmc clients around a home network, and want some way to centralise that library. by necessity, that involves a mysql back-end database. that necessitates the database library updates, and the functionality of searching, scraping, updating and otherwise manipulating the media library, as well as the code to access this functionality e.g. the json interface, the http communications layer, and so on. in actuality, that's a massive chunk of the functionality of xbmc - pretty much everything except the gui front-end.

it's probably also worth pointing out that frodo is currently in active development, so you're complaining about something not working when one of its dependencies is being actively worked on at the moment. to use your car analogy, they're still building the wiring loom, and you're complaining that you can't listen to the radio. i don't think that's a fair criticism.

having personally dealt with the developers over an extended period of time - particularly with reference to this actual piece of code - and having been involved with this particular server mode discussion from the beginning (given that i *started* it: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=105449 and later http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114612 with some actual code as an alternative solution) i won't stay silent in the face of that because they've been helpful, responsive, and actually given us what we've asked for at each and every step of the way, and even built something that wasn't in their priorities into the mainline code for us. all it took was some effort from a bunch of us to put together a working patch to give us what we wanted.

fyi, robotica's 'method' is the same as vajonam's eden patch (890) - which is a rebased version of my initial code (542) (including plenty of helpful fixes from Odon who i've noticed in this thread too - hi again!) that he pulled together and cleaned up while i was dealing with some stuff offline. for the record, that's got even more of the xbmc application gubbins in there than the library solution because it's nothing more than a couple of inline code switches to disable elements of the gui based on a startup parameter. as it stands, there are some elements of the gui still enabled in the eden-server codebase because the xbmc scanners were relying on the gui being present. it's nothing more than a very nasty hack to the eden codebase - albeit one that i'm proud of, as it was my first effort at contributing to xbmc, and many people out there have found it useful. what it is not is an elegant, viable long term solution to a headless xbmc server.

as an aside: my point in mentioning my two kids was not to lessen your own situation or denigrate your experiences, but to point out that we had something in common. i'm not getting into one-upmanship contests online because it's a pointless waste of time, but while i appreciate being a single dad is tough, you're not the only one with difficult personal circumstances.

anyways, i'm done. i've said all that i think needed to be said, and hopefully it's been at least a little bit helpful.

Dude I couldn't even be bothered reading your whole laddi da, Considering you don't know shit! and you haven't even bothered making sense in regards too many off my statements, let alone the title off this thread.... HEY IF PEOPLE WANTED THIS OR THAT, then make a bloody thread about this or that.... Dont come on my thread that specifically said "MINIFIED" and getting a big head because your code knows best, then telling me what everyone else wants.... Look a few posts above you, and see the problems arisen just because off unneeded shit in the code/application.... Get ya head outta your ass! i've read vajonam's code and seen what he's done... Also robotica's method would be nothing like vajonam's patch ya fool....

"i don't think that's a fair criticism" and no its not... because you just can't accept being put in your place ey, or you just dont like too be wrong, Its a logical analogy. You could use anything in this world in conjunction, so stop boxing ya head in.

Ill tell you once and once only. DONT try and insult me again and my understanding off the application, or trying to use your father hood too relate (because you just have no idea!). The reason im like this now is because you have just gone on and on and on... WHEN I F***en said posts and posts ago that i'm ok with the lib direction, I just wanted too throw my opinion in the air, not a geek battle, nuff said!

And you know what pisses me off more, the fact that you turn around and say shit like "for the record, that's got even more of the xbmc application gubbins in there than the library solution because it's nothing more than a couple of inline code switches to disable elements of the gui based on a startup parameter" I ALREADY KNEW THAT.... YOU HAVE NOT READ OR ATLEAST UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING I WROTE ON THIS THREAD!!! And im not even gonna bother explaining anymore... No where did i say eden-server was the way too go, nor did i like it.... NO WHERE, NO WHERE AT ALL DID I SAY THAT!!!! I saw how dirty it was with conditional statements with scoping out gui related actions. SO I ALREADY KNEW THIS!

OH "the json interface, the http communications layer, and so on" rightio, so where are the other 250MB coming from? We all know. everything needed for the server, would be max 10MB period!!!!!

also do yourself a favour, and dont reply too this anymore. Otherwise your just asking for an endless, pointless battle.

I only get the notice and debug errors for audio in the log during initial startup. My xbmc.log is currently 30M as it's been running now for several months this way. Scrolling up through it the only information in it is in regards to library updates, cleanups, etc.
