xpo_dk Wrote:Hi there,
I've just installed the file from the first page of this - and it rocks! Thanks a lot!
Only thing I can't figure out is why XBMC suddentley is so slow loading movies. In macOS XBMC load a movie in seconds - now we're talking 4-5 minutes...
My movies is stored on a timecapsule - everything is connected "with wire"...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for this cool thing!!!!
You can try this http://gigaom.com/apple/public-safety-advisory-how-to-downgrade-from-time-capsule-7-4-1/. It seems to have improved performance for me, but I was not having waiting times like yours, I just had timeouts...

How long does it take you to start a movie when selecting it?
Guess you're connected to the timecapsule thru a router - meaning with wire?

Hi! Where and how can i configure wireless card settings?
For wired network it is:
/etc/network/interfaces
and comment out
auto eth0
and add (replacing with your details)
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.120
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
P.S.:
I was talking too fast
With above settings i can not set static ip. What am i doing wrong.--------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
# comment out "auto eth0"
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.8.8.56
netmask 255.255.252.0
gateway 10.8.8.56
auto wlan0

Thanks Bandit_kaine for your great guide! I think I've actually got everything running on the internal disk! I do have one question regarding last step:
In system info > storage information it says:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 2.4G 1.6G 636M 73% /which makes me think that it's not actually using my whole disk.
if I do:
Code:
sudo parted /dev/sda printI get:
Code:
Model: ATA FUJITSU MHW2040A (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 20.5kB 210MB 210MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot
2 210MB 236MB 26.1MB hfs+ Recovery atvrecv
3 236MB 38.9GB 38.7GB ext3 primary
4 38.9GB 40.0GB 1108MB linux-swap primarywhich seems ok, right?
So my question is, am I using the whole disk for xbmc storage or not? How can I be sure? I want to enable DDS images and don't want to run out of space!
Edit: I noticed Moonwalker's post that said:
moonwalker Wrote:I had to use the next two commands too to make it all happen on my internal drive.
resize2fs /dev/sda3
tune2fs -j /dev/sda3
would that be what is missing? and would that need to be done while still booted from the USB?

ehhh...running this image is most likely done on an apple tv with the crystal hd stuff, so without a wireless card...?

Why didn't I think of that before!
I plugged it into the TC and wrooommm - up and running!
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Yesterday I screwed my Crystalubuntu instalation, so I burned my pen drive with pin87a's image.
I've opened a terminal to my apple tv and I wrote
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgradeThen, I wanted to update to xbmc RC1 so I've added ppa info and wrote
Code:
sudo apt-get install xbmcOn System>System Info I see that is RC1 but the problem is that I've lost
"broadcom crystal hd" as render method on System>Video>Playback.
Can someone tell me if I cannot upgrade to RC1 or if I have to run some kind of script to enable crystalhd on rc1?
Thanks

Modeline for Sony Bravia KDL-46HX800 - kkillebrew - 2010-11-29
I'm wondering how to get this TV to 24p in XBMC (ATV Linux). The TV EDID (and sony specsheet) lists:
(--) NVIDIA(0): --- EDID for SONY TV (DFP-0) ---
(--) NVIDIA(0): EDID Version : 1.3
(--) NVIDIA(0): Manufacturer : SNY
(--) NVIDIA(0): Monitor Name : SONY TV
(--) NVIDIA(0): Product ID : 64769
(--) NVIDIA(0): 32-bit Serial Number : 16843009
(--) NVIDIA(0): Serial Number String :
(--) NVIDIA(0): Manufacture Date : 2010, week 1
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPMS Capabilities :
(--) NVIDIA(0): Prefer first detailed timing : Yes
(--) NVIDIA(0): Supports GTF : No
(--) NVIDIA(0): Maximum Image Size : 1440mm x 810mm
(--) NVIDIA(0): Valid HSync Range : 15.0 kHz - 70.0 kHz
(--) NVIDIA(0): Valid VRefresh Range : 58 Hz - 62 Hz
(--) NVIDIA(0): EDID maximum pixel clock : 150.0 MHz
With a refresh rate of 58Hz - 62Hz how do you get 24p from X or XBMC?
When you play a 24p source in a 24p Blu-ray player the TV switches to "1920 x 1080/24p" and says so on the screen and when you hit the Display button on the TV remote. Yet no X modes other than 60hz will work. The message 'Invalid Source" is displayed using 24p modelines.

Yep - the resize2fs is what's missing. It should be able to do it online (booting from the internal drive) - just don't bother watching movies at the same time because it'll gring the machine for a little while.
The tune2fs afterwards is to remove the journal from the drive. I (personally) wouldn't bother about that.

brilliant! thanks for that. That did the trick and took about 5 min. I now have 33G available on the drive. Maybe Bandit_Kaine can edit his post to add this crucial step. I can confirm it works perfectly.
Edit: I should mention that when I first rebooted I got file system errors and had to run fsck to repair them. But subsequent reboots went fine.

Well can someone please help me with setting up static ip address. No matter what i do it always gets the ip from router DHCP.

You need to upgrade to at least r156 of the CrystalHD firmware/library/driver:
Code:
svn checkout --revision 156 http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk crystalhd-r156
cd crystalhd-r156/crystalhd/linux_lib/libcrystalhd
make
sudo make install
cd ../../driver/linux
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe crystalhd
cd ../../../../
sudo rm -rf crystalhd-r156/Then just reboot and the option should be available in XBMC again.
