CALLING SERIOUS TESTERS: AudioEngine needs your help for testing before merge!

Memphiz Wrote:In your log i see that you might have permission problems with guisettings.xml. It can't neither be read nor be deleted for recreation. So please double check the permissions and fix them by issueing:

chown mobile /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml

For next bugs i would suggest you have a look at the log file yourself and search for "Error" ... sometimes you might be able to help yourself for finding faster solutions

Actually Memphiz, I think the error you're referring to is because I asked Tenny to delete the guisettings.xml prior to running XBMC, so it's creating a new one?

Ok, no worries. I just discovered that my receiver recognizes AAC 5.1 as Dolby Digital with true 5.1 sound when I connect audio via an optical cable instead of HDMI. strange but a workaround...

Then the permissions of the userdata folder might be messed up - because it doesn't seem to get recreated?!? Or am i totally wrong here. Is there a guisettings.xml or not?

Well Cranial told me to delete it, so I think XBMC was looking for it, but couldn't read it as there was none. Then when it re-created it, it was fine.

XBMC will auto-create guisettings.xml on boot, so it doesn't need to be there at all.

All is good except sources.xml. That should be mobile mobile I believe.

yap ... in that state you would not be able to add sources because of missing permissions for saving them...

Yeah I changed it after I noticed it; forgot to mention it though.

Hi All,

Fair warning,
AE is NOT in the testing phase, it is still under active development and has quite a few technical hurdles to overcome before it is ready for public consumption.

Please do not think that AE is ready for merge, it is a way off still.

Noted. Perhaps a word with Gimli and Keith to coordinate when and what should be privately tested? Or not tested at all yet....

But anyway, thanks for all your work on this Gnif. Good coding weather, cold up there in them there mountains.... 
