So after realising the usb was not in hfs format and is probably the reason why i can never mount the usb or see the plist i reformatted it on windows (thinking it was something to do with the way mac format usb drives) and then dd pins image onto it. Then when i log in on root root and do 'blkid' the usb drive doesnt even show up, all it has are the sda*, even though when i do ls /dev/sd* it comes up with sda, sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, sdb, sdb1
HELPPPP!!! This is driving me insane!
- tooshna - 2010-08-14
I can't believe it. I got it to work...
It was nothing to do with telneting or sda changing etc. It was all to do with writing the image onto the usb drive. I had a feeling this may had been the cause when trying to mount the flash drive did nothing. So I went onto my windows machine, restored the image to the usb and voila! Pins image seemed to have a few problems with it. i.e. trying to play a movie and just getting a black screen, plus the volume buttons on the apple remote skipped the movie forward when it did play. but i have to say everything is so much smoother! I will try out sams image soon and see which one i prefer then write it to the internal disk. I felt like i was going insane there for a while. stupid dd command doesnt woork properly in terminal on the mac for some reason or the usb doesnt agree with it i dunno, but it all seems to be working ok now. touch wood, fingers crossed!

I managed to upgrade to lucid. I lost the hdmi audio output, wich I never used, but I gained the latest yavdr repositories: I use the atv as a pvr (TiVO like) device.
By the way, the latest xbmc build lacks the crystalhd support.
Did someone notice this issue?

Everyone. It's not compiling in because of a library issue. If you check the log here, you'll find this:
Code:
checking for libcrystalhd/libcrystalhd_if.h... yes
checking for libcrystalhd soname... no
configure: WARNING: Unable to determine soname of libcrystalhd library
configure: WARNING: libcrystalhd support disabledHopefully it'll be back soon. The latest version with CrystalHD is 31718.

Thanks for the quick reply.

No problem - just fending off children whilst waiting for the wife to be ready...
If you want, you can try compiling it yourself. Instructions are here. I'm going to have a look at this later, after all if you make a mess of it, it's just a case of restoring a USB image...

Just a couple of questions.
1. How do I get internet connection now that only XBMC exists upon boot?
2. How do I enable the library, atm the option is greyed out. Is that because my movies are on an external hard drive? Is there a way to get them recognized and be added to the library?
3. I know the ssh password and username is xbmc, but is the server name still appletv.local?
4. It seems to play all video files fine apart from my full dvd rips. I can click on them but then i am only able to access the video_ts folder and play a file from there. shouldnt it play the whole folder as a DVD like the xbmc i used previously on atv? Why is that?
Thanks for all your help guys, really do appreciate it. I'll be donating some moneys soon.

im using sams image, i can resolve to IP address for media server but not a server name like \\SERVER etc.
Is there a way around this so that I can use the same library i use on all my other XBMC installs.
it just searches and searches and searches ...it detects all the names of other computers on the network just wont connect unless it resolves to ip
a fix? besides editing the library to point to all ip addresses.
- defiler - 2010-08-14
Do you have a WINS or DNS server on your network? For connecting to an SMB share, WINS is the traditional lookup method, but it should fall back to DNS if thats not available.
If you have neither, NetBIOS over TCP/IP should be able to resolve the names by referring to the Master node, but that can take up to 25 minutes to find (normally finds it withing 12 minutes in my experience).
If that's not working, if you can't be bothered with that wait (and I can't blame you), and you can't get WINS (nmb service in Linux I think) or DNS set up, the simplest option is to make sure any server machines have static IPs, and put them into the /etc/hosts file on the ATV.

yes, it got cleaned up.
- seven20p - 2010-08-14
sam, what does this mean....something new coming to replace it?
- defiler - 2010-08-14
It means that the repository was in a mess. They seem to have cleared out the whole lot, but some libraries have been rebuilt and put back in, so the rest will follow in time.
I don't imagine it'll be out for more than a few days, because:
a) The developers need people to test the builds and provide feedback.
b) Most users are technically incapable of building from source (which is only fair, and why there's a build repository in the first place).
c) The maintainers don't want to sit and listen to "but I can't get the latest version!" for longer than necessary.
I think the problem is that there are some fantastic new features promised for this release, so people are loathe to step back to 9.11. Of course, we're also gradually approaching a final release, so builds will probably be coming in quite steadily once they start up again.
So you have a choice. Either check back each day to see if new builds have appeared, or grab the source and compile your own.
Good luck!
Edit: Finally got my ATV running again after screwing my partition table. Going to allocate the rest of the internal drive for workspace to try building the current source. I'll update with the results if I manage to get it built.
