illiac4 Wrote: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.
Assuming you want all the same services and addresses provided by DHPC but just want a static IP:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces assign static info here
sudo apt-get remove dhcp-client
reset the network or reboot
Not playing any videos - maartenst - 2010-11-29
Hi,
somehow I can't play any videos.
This is my xbmc.log:
http://pastebin.com/TTKEBYLZ
Can anyone please have a look at it, I'd like to be able to watch something else then tv again ;-)
- illiac4 - 2010-11-29
Well actually i wan't to manually assign the ip address, do not want to use IP from DHCP.
It does not work. I have entered the command sudo apt-get remove dhcp-clien but it said nothing to remove because it was not installed.

Change the line in interfaces from
iface eth0 inet static
to
iface eth1 inet static

Thank you very much. I was blind and did not see that it is eth1 and not 0.

no 1080p - Flow01 - 2010-12-02
Hey there,
i used the minimalised Disk Image by pin87a and it worked just fine until i upgraded to rc1 and crystalhd 156 following these instructions:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=571919&postcount=668
Now, 1080p playback is very choppy. 720p works just fine.
Here is my log file:
http://codeviewer.org/view/code:14a2
I even tried a work around for the audio errors: switched to analog audio out - no effect.
Any help please? Smooth 1080p playback as in pin87as image would be really nice.
Thanx.

Why don't you just revert to the previously installed xbmc version you were happy with? Unless you've cleared your apt-cache you should still have it on your drive....
ls /var/cache/apt/archives/xbmc*
will list all versions of xbmc previously installed with apt-get.
then you will need to select the version that you want to go back to. You will find 5 files you need that correspond to the version you want:
xbmc-bin_VERSION-hardy1_i386.deb
xbmc-data_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb
xbmc-skin-confluence_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb
xbmc-standalone_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb
xbmc-live_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb
then you will need to run the following (make sure you substitute VERSION you got from the above step):
Code:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
sudo dpkg -i xbmc-bin_VERSION-hardy1_i386.deb xbmc-data_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-skin-confluence_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-standalone_VERSION-hardy1_all.deb xbmc-live_VERSION-hardy1_all.debYou can grab any rev crystal you want by issuing (sub the rev number you want for XXX)
Code:
svn checkout http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk crystalhd-rXXXthen just use the standard mak/install procedure:
Code:
cd crystalhd-rXXX/crystalhd/linux_lib/libcrystalhd
make
sudo make install
cd ../../driver/linux
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe crystalhdNow all you need to do is choose the versions you want to go back to. Don't forget that older xbmc builds probably won't (although they might) work with the newer revisions of crystalhd - if you're going really far back, then you'll need probably experiment with which driver will work with an old build. Plus you'll maybe have to remove addons.db if your addons stop working properly - xbmc will regenerate it according to the way it used the file at the time.....
.... I would personally update xbmc to rc2 first with crystalhd r161... I found this works pretty well on karmic - probably the same on Hardy as well. If not, just follow the steps above anyway to get back to where you were happy....

The directions you followed will download the latest trunk version of crystalHD, not r156, and then place it in a direcory called crystalhd-r156. This is okay though because the most current versions of xbmc-live via apt-get and crystalHD (r174 as of this post) are very stable with 1080p 60hz if you stay with the confluence skin (low memory use) and disable "adjust display rate to video" under System->Video->Playback. I have three ATV's all configured like this from pin's minimal image, two running from the hard disk and one from USB, and they are smooth, stable, and fully functional at 1080p and with files as large as 9gb. Running at 24p is okay sometimes, but over all can cause system hangs and jerkyness in my experience.
Also if you've used parted to mod your USB stick or to transfer the image to hard disk be sure your swap file is mounting by running free -m. If it's not then edit /etc/fstab and hard code it in with /dev/sdx paths instead of the UUID.
Hope some of this helps.

Assuming you've removed the internal wireless N for your crystalHD card you'll have to install the USB image on your internal hard drive to free up the USB port, or try a usb expansion device. Then just get a linux compatible USB wireless stick.

RC2 and crystalhd 176 didn' t work.
Going back to the old version right now.

Great

A real newbie question ....
I copied the image on the first post to a USB stick (Windows usbit program). A Kingston traveller 8GB.
The ATV won't boot from the stick. Is there a pre-requisite to make the usb stick bootable ?
Thx
PS: It's not an ATV issue as it has been patched with anthoer pen drive using atv usb creator
- Sam.Nazarko - 2010-12-06
How won't it boot? - be more specific.

Sam.Nazarko Wrote:How won't it boot? - be more specific.
I just copied the img file which puts two partitions and a swap file on the stick.
Then I simply insert the USB stick in the port and reset the ATV.
I get the Apple logo, then it asks me to restart or factory reset. I select restart and it boots from the internal HD into AppleTV OS instead of the USB stick.
Do I need to add something special on the USB stick to make it bootable?
- Hudson_Hawk04 - 2010-12-06
with your usb image tool did you remember to restore your image? I forgot that a few times myself. I have also been reading that generally the atv does not really like flash drive over the 2gb mark.
