You can please all of the people some of the time. etc I'm pleased - thanks pin87a I'll try this over the weekend. - da-bitsch - 2010-06-12 frumpy_uk Wrote:You can please some of the people all of the time. You can please all of the people some of the time. etc hehe - i wrote nice tutorial - legato23 - 2010-06-12 frumpy_uk Wrote:So how exactly are you going about connecting to your shares? Or to put it another way, are you able to add your share as a source in e.g. Videos/Movies/Music etc?When I browse SMB, XBMC will show 'working' on the bottom right, but nothing happens. After some trial and error it finally works. Now I add a location with the following syntax: smb://xbox:xbox@servername/videos As this takes some time with the default apple remote, I continue adding locations by editing the sources.xml By the way.. I noticed that opening a certain .iso will take like minutes to open and start playing. I think I read about this before, that it occurs in a certain nightly build.. Hopefully this wil get fixed in the future. PS: What a great performance it has now, compared to running on osx!! - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-12 Yeah SMB browsing can freeze on 'Working' in 28256 - why don't you just enter it via sources.xml instead of typing with aTV remote? Might include a newer SVN version after exams, world cup. - sraue - 2010-06-12 Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Yeah SMB browsing can freeze on 'Working' in 28256 - why don't you just enter it via sources.xml instead of typing with aTV remote? Might include a newer SVN version after exams, world cup. this problem still exists in actual svn versions, here is the ticket: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8840 and here an thread about this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=74267 it seems it is unclear where this issue comes from - andy204 - 2010-06-12 just wanted to say that i added another mirror. the file is hosted on an european university network uplink. Full Image Minimalized Disk Image -andy - garyi - 2010-06-12 Can this thing be restored in disk utlity or not? I have tried the reduced files size one and the main one. The main one fails with invalid argument and the reduced one says it has to be scanned first which I do and it immediatly says cannot scan invalid argument. I have 3 macs, tried on all three. All running 10.6.3 The first page tells how to do it with terminal, but the instructions are not complete and assume skillz in terminal which some of us do not possess. pin87a's guide to install alongside aTV OS - frumpy_uk - 2010-06-12 Wow. So cool! Whenever I do anything like this I always think I'm going to break something, but it all went pretty smoothly. One problem though - the network is broken again...! Its finding the correct DNS server 192.168.0.1, but not getting an IP address. Very minor feedback on the guide : is it worth pointing out that one could use nano instead of vim? I'm sure its subjective but I find nano much easier to use than vi or vim. In the later stage of the guide, there is an instruction mixed in with the code. When you're in the midst of all this copy & pasting it's easy to miss. I'd suggest changing it to something like Point atv-bootloader (on usb drive) to new internal drive install
Code: Code: sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sdb2 Change root to /dev/sda5. Unmount. Code: sudo umount /media/atvboot - Sam.Nazarko - 2010-06-13 I prefer nano too, but each to their own - frumpy_uk - 2010-06-13 Any thoughts on the network problem? Its finding the correct DNS server 192.168.0.1, but not getting an IP address - same as the 2nd version of pin87a's image. - pin87a - 2010-06-13 frumpy_uk Wrote:Wow. So cool!

Its finding the correct DNS server 192.168.0.1, but not getting an IP address. Thanks for the feedback. I edited the tutorial. Not sure about your network issue. Since you already had linux on the drive did you delete your old linux partitions before copying the files over? If you exit XBMC (from within XBMC) when it drops back to the console do you see any error messages from the boot process? Can you boot using the regular usb image, mount the internal linux partition, and check the logs? Code: cd You should see something like this: Code: Jun 12 09:57:20 AppleTV dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <null address> on eth0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67 - jodeman - 2010-06-13 brock_gonad Wrote:You don't have to mount the internal HD to copy the image over. I used this command sucessfully; First two steps went perfect, but then I get this error when making the partition read/write: Code: xbmc@atv:~$ sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2 tmpmnt Any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks! - pin87a - 2010-06-13 JDizzy Wrote:Alright, loaded up the Minimal image and all went well. Presuming that you want the internal drive mounted read/write you can create a mount point and add the following to /etc/rc.local to have that drive mounted at startup. (not sure this is a good idea though since from what I've read Linux support for journaled hfsplus isn't so good at the moment. You can mount it read only (safer) by removing the fsck.hfsplus line) Code: sudo mkdir /media/atvmedia Add to /etc/rc.local (right before the 'exit 0') Code: sudo nano /etc/rc.local Interesting catch on the flac thing. As far as I knew xbmc used internal decoders for everything, but i guess not flac. Surprised it wasn't automatically installed as a dependency of xbmc when installed from the PPA. Installing libflac will fix that. Code: sudo apt-get install flac - pin87a - 2010-06-13 jodeman Wrote:First two steps went perfect, but then I get this error when making the partition read/write: Should probably be doing: Code: sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2 - jodeman - 2010-06-13 pin87a Wrote:Should probably be doing: Thanks! That fixed that. Now, with the next step, I get this error: Code: xbmc@atv:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 tmpmnt If I run 'dmesg | tail' I get this: Code: [130366.883141] Stopping BCM70012 Device Sorry for being such a pain! |
