XBMC Live 8.10 (Atlantis) released

**olympia** · 2008-11-16 01:58

When I run Live 8.10, I have the video plugin option under Videos with AMT II plugin, but if I install it to an usb stick, and run Live 8.10 from there, I have no video plugin option any more, and AMT II is dissappeard as well.

I guess it is somehow related to the new userdate handling, and dotXBMC folder. In here, I don't have any plugin (neither AMT II) in plugin/video folder.

Can anyone suggest on how to get back AMT II?

Thank you!

Did you back up your old xbmc folder? If so you, you can just copy it back onto your USB.

No, but it is not about having something from my old xbmc folder.

Apple movie trailer II is a default plugin, which is accessible, when running from the Live CD, but not accesible from the clean USB install...

update: and the plugin installer seems not working either. At least for me, there is no "video plugins" in "add source/browse" after a clean usb install.

Now I understand, I had the same problem with the Apple trailer but I made a backup of my folder, and then I reinstalled them and it worked fine.

Hello,
I'm using xbmc on xbox and I decided to test it on my Pc (I'm using ubuntu 8.04). I have downloaded Live CD version and every thing goes well, but when XBMC starts, and change resolution, my monitor turns off. It givs resolution is out of range.
My monitor is Philips 170S (native 1280x1024x75).
P4 2.6
2024 Ram
Gforce 6200 256mb

I tried to put vga=794 after choosing start option, but this have raised only splash resolution. What should I do with this problem? Could you give me some kernel option to fix this?

Hey All,

I was looking at my res in system information this morning and I notice that is bounces from 99.90 to 100 Hz at 1920x1080 full screen. If I try 1920x1080 at 50Hz and test I get like half a screen.

VC is a 8500Gt silent Nvidia and I have an X2 6000 on an Asus M2N-SLI deluxe. It does not seem to cause any issues and not sure if related but I do notice some freezing when playing back a DVD locally or streaming from my NAS.

I also get some artifacting throughout the picture almost like scan lines, I have played with scaling settings etc.. without a difference.

Which driver version is 8.10 using currently for Nvidia.

THX,

Dave

I get the same problem as jochenz.

I have a Acer L5100. Not sure what to call the mobo, but it's an AMD based system with ATI 1250 integrated GPU. (Just like jochenz)

I have a Toshiba 1080i capable LCD TV connected via HDMI. I also tried a 1280x1024 VGA monitor to see if that would help. In both cases I get the option between the different GFX types in the beginning, then I get a blank screen for a while, then the cursor appears. Nothing happens after that.

I tried it on my Laptop (Dell xps 1530 w/ nvidia gfx) and it worked right away. It looked awesome. Even the remote worked without any fiddling at all!

setup:

motherboard: Asrock K7S41GX
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2600+
Memory: 2 x 512 DDR2
Videocard: AGP8x Sapphiretech Ati Radeon 9500 pro (256 mb)
HD: IDE Western Digital 120 GB
remote: MS MCE remote

installed XBMClive Atlantis 8.10 to the harddisk. At first it booted fine, but the monitor went black and turned of "no signal".

After the following procedures:

# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
this gave an error message that "/boot" did not exist
# mkdir /boot
# dpkg --configure -a
# sudo apt-get upgrade
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

the edited the xorg.conf in the "display" subsection with this:

Code:

Option      "VideoOverlay" "on"

Option      "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

rebooted and everything works fine.

finaly! :cool2:

*happy mode ON*

I think that the adjusting of the display section in xorg.conf really made the biggest difference

I get to the login bit, screen is flashing on and off (wtf) I put in xbmc for user and pass anddddddd nothing. I seem to have a command prompt and thats about it. Awsome.
