Help XBMC live 11.0 Video Playback
#1
I have just upgraded from XBMC live 10.1 to XBMC live 11.0 and have since not been able to play any of the video files I have saved on my externall hard drives. These all used to work perfect with XBMC 10.1 but none of them seem to work now. If I try to play them I get a X in the middle of the screen followed by a black screen with the Eden logo and then it returns back to the main menu screen.

The youtube add on works perfectly and I have managed to get the audio out of the optical out on my asrock ion 330 to my amp and that works aswell. Any ideas what is causing the issue with the video playback?

Also not sure if this makes a difference but I do not have any operating system installed on the machine only XBMC live 11.

Did some further digging... it looks like this issue is caused by the .asoundrc file being corrupt. I followed the instructions on the following thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127361.

Bascially backup the .asoundrc file for the current user and re-ran alsamixer and all was well. I rebooted the box and all worked well.

Hope this works for you OP.
