- kurfitz - 2009-08-15 Hi all! I have the same problem as buzzer with pm3.hd skin locking out the other skins(Aeon,Mediastream). Have uninstalled and installed xbmc (latest svn)several times, same problem all the time. - vikjon0 - 2009-08-15 I am pretty sure that is not related to my setup. At least I have no idea how to solve it. Please post a debug log here: http://www.xbmc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=52 - yaagshimash - 2009-08-15 Hiya, got my ASRock ION 330 setup with this guide - grats. I'm having a painful issue though. Each time I shutdown/restart into Ubuntu, I lose my 1920x1080 resolution (regardless of what it is set and saved in the NVIDIA X settings) and it defaults back to 1024x768. I've tried "sudo nvidia-settings", saving to xorg.conf but still the same issue - as soon as you reboot, it reverts back to 1024x768. Is this just a bug? Grrr.. - vikjon0 - 2009-08-16 Hi, I think it must be related to the TV. I don't have this problem at all. New HD TV. I have seen other threads about forcing the resolution etc. e.g. creating a edid file and load that in xorg. I really know nothing about it since it worked from scratch for me. - buzzzer - 2009-08-16 kurfitz Wrote:Hi all! This morning i looked into my skins and i can choose all installed skins. I donĀ“t why, but now it works (after several restarts too). - vikjon0 - 2009-08-16 This is the .asoundrc I am using now with spdif pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 #periods 128 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } - poserdonut - 2009-08-16 vikjon0 Wrote:This is the .asoundrc I am using now with spdif Any chance you could explain these settings and why you use them? I'm running my asrock with spdif passthrough and I get sound dropouts, could this solve my problem? - vikjon0 - 2009-08-17 Quote:Any chance you could explain these settings and why you use them? Give it a try. I am using it to avoid shutter/spikes when changing from one mp3 to another. - pistachio - 2009-08-18 I've gone through this howto. It's great. I want to try this and hope it will work for me (zotac 9300 itx + E5300) 'cause I couldn't get my pc work after a few days pain. Before that I want to make sure that all these are on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop x86 instead of x64, right? - vikjon0 - 2009-08-18 Yes, it is on 32bit not 64bit and it is on 9,04 yes - vikjon0 - 2009-08-18 Quote:I'm running my asrock with spdif passthrough and I get sound dropouts, could this solve my problem? With XBMC SVN from aug 11 and alsa 1.0.20 it works fine without any .asoundrc settings: default iec958 - poserdonut - 2009-08-18 vikjon0 Wrote:With XBMC SVN from aug 11 and alsa 1.0.20 it works fine without any .asoundrc How did you upgrade to alsa 1.0.20?

Try this from the xbmcbuntu guide: Quote:sudo apt-get install wget I did it like this: Quote:sudo apt-get update - pistachio - 2009-08-19 Thank vikjon. I'm getting closer following this guide. My setup is zotac 9300 itx with hdmi connected to tv and vga to lcd monitor (primary, I think). I just can't get my tv work without connecting the lcd monitor. After running xbmc the first time on the lcd monitor, I set up dual monitor in "separate x screen" mode and start xbmc using "XBMC_HOME=/usr/share/xbmc SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=1 /usr/bin/xbmc". xbmc can play video (no sound) on my tv. I skipped the xorg fixes part as it created other problems. Now, my problem is the hdmi audio, no sound at all. I have tried hdmi, plug:hdmi, plughw:0,3 for audio device. What am I missing? (I already tested the connections in XP and hdmi audio worked.) Any other tools for troubleshooting? Please help. Edit: I forgot to set the user and password as xbmc/xbmc during installation. Then, I adduser afterward and did the policy kit section as well. But I couldn't set the password to xbmc as it's shorter than 6. Does the user 'xbmc' and password 'xbmc' matter? Can it be run as different user? Thanks. - poserdonut - 2009-08-19 vikjon0 Wrote:EDIT: Did you test without upgrading alsa? I didn't..interesting to know. I will try to upgrade to a newer PPA version of xbmc and see if it changes anything before I try to upgrade alsa. Will report back when I've done it. |
