Yep. I'm sequentially copy and pasting stuff over:

But for some reason this just stops: (it's probably a skin thing).

I got most of my settings back. It goes wonky when I start trying to put in Neon stuff. So it's probably something with that. This'll work until final I guess :0

I had to drop my whole .xbmc folder since keyboard and remote didn't work either. :-\

---

Adding files back one by one.

Added back sources.xml - Works

Added back my advanced settings - No bueno. Comes up with a mouse on a black screen.

---

Even if I cut that down to nothing but the MySQL info, it doesn't work. As soon as I delete advanced setings, it's all happy again. So this is kind of a bigger deal breaker than just having to reenter all my info.

The difference between RC2 working and not working is this:

Code:

<advancedsettings>

    <videodatabase>

        <type>mysql</type>

        <host>10.0.0.50</host>

        <name>xbmc_video</name>

        <user>xbmc</user>

        <pass>xbmc</pass>

    </videodatabase>

</advancedsettings>

I'm giving up for tonight and netbooting my backup.

add mysql. nothing. delete mysql. hurray. I even went back and did a completely normal ./configure with nothing after it.

And now it just locks up trying to browse through the Files view on my shared drive:

Code:

33:18 T:140508654692288   DEBUG: OnKey: return (f00d) pressed, action is Select

Is all the debug log shows. It's been stuck at 4:33 am now for 10 minutes. UI is completely non-responsive.

My XBMC allways fail the search of the trackers name when i put a CD audio... I tried a lot of CDs, all without success.

when i try to watch a tv stream (live tv) in full screen, there is no video, but in the menu's i can see the video in the background.
any ideas what to do? i't happens in eden beta 3, rc1 and rc2. didn't try with beta 1 and 2
i'm on a win7 msi, i5 hm-55 chipset.

hope you will help, i'm new with xbmc..

So, gdb or anything else I could enable to help debug this because right now I'm just having startx launch xterm and playing my movies with mplayer (and so it's useless for the rest of my house).

If it's mysql stuff then yes, running XBMC from gdb might help, but the debug log should fairly clearly say what's going on anyway.

Nope, debug logging on it just locks up after the splashscreen. If I had the mouse turned on I get to see that playing around the screen.

Same goes for NFS file mode not responding. I'll hit enter to go to the share and it just stops. I woke up this morning thinking maybe it'd have fixed itself and the last messages were the ones I posted.

Unless there's a super, dump everything, debug mode I can turn on.

**jmarshall** · 2012-03-05 23:22

Depending on the skin, at the splashscreen the mysql stuff will be trying to update is my guess. (Probably a corrupt table or somesuch). Checking in mysql itself might be an idea - you'll see xbmc_video60 which is empty (or close to it).

The debug log will clearly say this (assuming debug logging is on, ofcourse!) As you can't get into the GUI to enable it, you can enable it via advancedsettings.xml - <loglevel> - IIRC even debug logging off it'll still say something (LOGERROR's I think?)

Cheers,
Jonathan

I'm still on the stock Confluence since I just keep blowing away it every time. I'll try and make a new mysql database. But right now I can't even get to File mode after adding stuff.

Ok. I'm home. If ANYONE figures this one out. You win a bunch of prizes.

I'm running Debian Sid with everything updated. I did a './bootstrap;./configure;make -j 8; sudo checkinstall make install'. to generate a .deb.

Installed it.

Normally I have one of these 2 lines in my .xinitrc.

Code:

#exec /usr/local/bin/xbmc --standalone  >>/tmp/xbmc1  2>> /tmp/xbmc2 3>> /tmp/xbmc3

#exec /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

It currently boots to a black screen.

I added 'exec xterm'.

If I type in either of those commands [either to xterm on the computer or via ssh with DISPLAY exported] to launch xbmc, it locks up. Blackscreen nothing in the debug log and I have to kill it.

If I run 'gdb /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin' then type 'r' to run it. Everything works just fine.

Should I start a new topic for this? It is weird (and annoying) as a bug can get.
