Xbmc frequent crashes
#1
Hello,

Having a very annoying issues recently while watching icefilms xbmc keeps oncrashing to main screen , this is very annoying I have had installed update begone from Nito tv, didnt want to go to the hassle of reinstalling xbmc from start so I have done the following after reading some posts..

my host files looked like this before..


# Copyright © 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost



Now edited to as follows..

echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net" >> /etc/hosts



A few questions regarding this..


1. can I take all the microsoft stuff out and only retain information starting from line 127.0.0.1 ??

2. where is the carrigae return do we have to leave a space after the last entry
can we have more than 1 space ??


3. my initial host file with update begone was it ok ?? My undersatanding was updated begone was suppossed to add those 3 lines perhaps something wrong with update begone ??


Ok thanks all for any information appreciarte greatly..

You have to reboot after installing updatebegone ... but you can do it manually ... though i think you have to do a

Code:
echo "" >> /etc/hosts

For adding an empty line at the end of the file. After that reboot. If you still crash please post xbmc.log, syslog and crashreporter as stated in the first link in my sig...

Code:
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net" >> /etc/hosts

You are supposed to enter these lines at the ssh prompt. They append the information in the quotes to the hosts file.

The hosts file should have the lines at the end
Code:
127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com
127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com
127.0.0.1 appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net
Including the blank line after it.

Carriage return is the enter key. You just need to make sure last line of the file is empty. You can have as much whitespace as you want in the file.
