Xbmcbuntu 13 Testing Thread

Hi!

Well, tried the new script and now it does indeed create an .asoundrc file with the following contents:

Code:
# --auto-generated-- by /etc/xbmc/live.d/01-make-asoundrc.sh                                                  
# AUTOUPDATE=True  # change this to disable updating of this file                                              
pcm.!default {                                                                                                
  type plug;                                                                                                  
  slave.pcm "hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0";                                                                            
}

But the problem remains: from the moment XBMC starts up, all other programs in the background (specifically: Spotify) don't have a sound output anymore. Everything is fine before XBMC starts: Spotify and other apps can play sounds, but from the moment XBMC starts, Spotify doesn't have sound output while running in the background...

Any log that I can give you? I don't think the ordinary xbmc.log will do any good, as everything seems to be working from the XBMC point of view, but a general ALSA log? Don't know where it's located though on XBMCBuntu. I will also try to install the beta 2 and see if it works from there. If it works, I will just copy that .asoundrc then Wink

_Simultatous_ audio output from different sources is a completely different topic. You should have told what you want to do right from the start, as this is outside of the scope of this howto.
In short: Alsa has exclusive access to the device, so what you want is not possible unless you can live without passthrough.

If all you need is to have spotify work while Xbmc is running(but NOT playing), then disable "keep audio device alive" in Xbmc.

For simultatinous output, you'll need pulseaudio, but you'll lose HD audio passthrough support.

Hi,

I have the latest beta installed and I have a weird behavior with the keyboard.
If I configure the XBMC resolution as the native of my TV set (1360x768@60), everything seems to be ok. But if I set 1080p, after the first playback the keyboard stops working. I don't know how can it be related but it happens.
Here are the logs (xbmc was in debug):

My keyboard is a Logitech K400

Thanks a lot!!

I have xbmcbunbu xbmc 13.0-beta 4 compiled apr 19
CPU intel core2 duo e4600 @ 2.40

Problems I'm having

Browse for new share (I have my own workgroup which all computer are in)
I get a error connection error old xbmc no problems
But if I add to the XML file manully it works

Can't login into xbmcubuntu.
If I try to exit xbmc it just logs off and start up back in xbmc
Only way I have found to do this is by ssh into change the auto login and reboot it
Then change it back


Some time the wireless keyboard does not connect but after a reboot it does
Keyboard is a Logitech k400r

I have told xbmc to goto the weather on startup and it does not well bugger me
Just reboot it and it did will keep and eye on that.
(look like it the skin I'm using )

Did have a problem with the old builds the hdmi audio would not work but looks like that problem been fix

Some times after watching a movie when it ends it look like the xbmc is reboot (software only)
U see the xbmc logo

I hope I don't sound like too much of an idiot, but I cannot find the xbmc.log file anywhere, can anyone tell me what the path is?

Do you read the 1st Post? There is a hint to the Path Wink

Hi Guys,

Running xbmcbuntu 13 on Intel NUC DN2820FYKH.

Everything works perfectly with the exception of remotely stored MP3 files. (No media is stored locally, its all on NAS drives)
The log file provided shows attempting to play via library, and via 'file' browser.
Default audio player is playing OGG and WMA files without issue, however borks on every one of my MP3 files.
These files work fine in almost every other player.

Relevant xbmc.log info:
Code:
20:31:02 T:140033212110784   ERROR: MP3Codec: Seek info unavailable for file <smb://192.168.0.2/public/My Music/Nirvana/Nirvana - About A Girl.mp3> (corrupt?)
20:31:02 T:140033212110784   ERROR: CAudioDecoder: Unable to Init Codec while loading file smb://192.168.0.2/public/My Music/Nirvana/Nirvana - About A Girl.mp3
20:31:02 T:140033212110784 WARNING: PAPlayer::QueueNextFileEx - Failed to create the decoder
20:31:02 T:140033212110784   ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [smb://192.168.0.2/public/My Music/Nirvana/Nirvana - About A Girl.mp3]

I found information regarding this issue and mangled ID3v2 tags, so on some of the files, I've used the id3v2 program to strip all tags from some files, and only id3v2 from others, this has had no effect.

Full logs are attached here:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7321438/ (dmesg)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7321442/ (xbmc.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7321443/ (Xorg.0.log, shouldn't be relevant.)

Any clues as to what might be causing this? Bangin' my head against a wall here!

Also, FYI - Was happy to see an RC-5 MCE remote work off the bat with external reciever. Got an RC-6 (HP HDX) coming in the mail, hoping it'll work with the built-in reciever! Will post results.

@Haioken: enable debugging in xbmc and upload a new log
And try to play some files from the local disk. You have seek errors all over the place and we need to rule out the network first.
Oh, and a sample file would also be nice

@wsnipex: Copied files to local filesystem for the first time, play worked flawlessly, so I doubt that part of the following log will be of any help.
On the plus side, I suppose this means it's probably not a fault in the file!
Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient space on this device to store my music locally, it must be accessible over the network.

The network is quite stable, so I'm unsure of where these seek errors would be coming from.

In the following log, playing locally (working) starts at 22:52:48, playing remotely (Not working) starts at 22:58:33

Done some brief testing as well.
- Installed mplayer via apt
- Mounted music share on /mnt/temp
- Ran mplayer from console on file linked above (No audio, because I'll be stuffed if I know how to make it output over the HDMI connection!)
- mplayer processed the file fine, and played through the entire file without issue.

untested 32bit build: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/XBMCbun...4_i386.iso

I'll check the keyboard issue with the 32bit image.
BTW, the keyboard only fails inside XBMC, as soon as I exit from XBMC (with the remote) it works again.

Thanks!

Textbased installer does not work, trying to install on software raid Sad
There must be a graphical way of doing it? Some packages to install and then I can do it?
