vengeance Wrote:Ok, I realized I messed up a bit, posted in the wrong thread as this was when I was trying to play from the launcher version of XBMC. So here are the details using the stripped image by pin87a:

Media Info
http://pastebin.com/QQu0G0Jt

New dmesg
http://pastebin.com/cK31pBB1

New xbox.log
http://pastebin.com/qSPGCKVS

I put the futurama episode I'm using as test on the USB too so that I could make sure it wasn't any issues with my network. The system just hangs and the only way out it to pull the plug. All non HD works.

davilla Wrote:XBMC version is SVN:28256, you will need to update. I don't think that version is very compatible with the new driver/lib/firmware. There were lot's of hacks going on back then.

vengeance Wrote:Ok no matter what I did to update the image it was still showing the old SVN, so I switched to Sam's which I was able to update easily enough but I still have the problem with. Here is the updated logs:

dmesg
http://pastebin.com/pckeVTCG

xbmc.log
http://pastebin.com/gERL3mx8

Here is the xbmc.old.log that might help as it has way more info in it.

Mediainfo is the same as still using the same file.

davilla Wrote:I don't see any video playback in xbmc.log. What was your problem again.

One thing I do see is

DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(libcrystalhd.so.1)
23:09:10 T:3044861792 M:187441152 DEBUG: Loading: libcrystalhd.so.1
23:09:12 T:3044861792 M:152174592 INFO: CrystalHD: device opened

But new driver loaded. Unless you forced a symlink, you have new driver talking to old lib using new firmware. That's an incompatible mix

driver, lib and firmware are paired, you can't mix/match them.

PPA should have XBMC linked to new driver API now, that would be libcrystalhd.so.3 in xbmc.log.

frumpy_uk Wrote:Hey pin. Thanks for these instructions. I'm using your build (co-exists with the ATV OS on my internal drive. After following these instructions, my ATV does not start xbmc automatically in linux mode - it goes to the tty1 prompt. What's the best way to fix that?

cheers

pin87a Wrote:Those instructions won't work any more since the SVN PPA was cleared out. I think the PPA is working now so you might be able to install a newer version from there. I had to do a sudo apt-get remove xbmc-data to remove everything and then a sudo apt-get install xbmc to re-install though. To have xbmc load on startup you can just do a sudo apt-get install xbmc-live (ignore the polkit warnings. they only show up in Hardy, but everything still works fine).

tooshna Wrote:Well thank you for all of your help guys, I've just about got the system working the way I want it to. There are still a couple of problems however.

1. I don't seem to be able to copy a file to the hard drive over SSH. I have checked the permissions of the folder where I am trying to copy the file to but it says that everyone has read and write access. I am logged in as xbmc if that makes any difference... It comes up with this error when I try... http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/6762/sdsdffsd.png

2. I am still unsure about how to get the SVN repo installer so that I can download plugins etc.

If anyone could help me out with these two issues that would be most appreciated.

diegoap Wrote:Hi guys.... I'm currently using pin87a's release (28256-R3).

Wich updates do you think I should run ? Are you planning a new full release ?
I'm still having some problems when a video starts or ends... I need to change to another HDMI source and go back to the aTV to get video or the menu back.

Thanks in advance
diego

defiler Wrote:Okay - update instructions to 31718 are here. Of course, that's a really old build nowadays. You can see the current packages here. (For these USB images you want the i386 packages for Hardy.) Just modify the instructions to use the newer filenames. It's pretty logical to work out.

SVN 32696 sounds like a good bet, but since it's all bug-squashing now, the latest builds *should* be the best.

You'll also need to update your CrystalHD drivers. Instructions are here.

Or course, at the time of writing, there are 14 tickets open (yes, just 14) on the Dharma release, so it's almost, almost there. It may be worth hanging off for the full release now. Once Dharma is released I have no doubt that someone (likely Pin or Sam) will release a minimal image with the final version within a few days. Then cherry-blossom will rain from the heavens, champagne will flow, and every day will be the first day of spring. Meantime, these instructions *should* get you running on SVN.

has the firmware loading bug been fixed for the old revision 70012 cards ?
