Hi guys

I have a rather weird problem. My little HTPC is all installed and play videos nicely over the network, I can remote administrate it via ssh and download log files via sftp

but: XBMC has network issues. Weather complains about not having internet connection and the download of plugins remains stuck at 0%

XBMC SVN is 10.10, install via apt
OS is Ubuntu Lucid, 10.04.2
architecture is i686
kernel: 2.6.32-28-generic-pae (chosen by ubuntu on install)

in the log I first tried to access weather and then to download the youtube plugin, which got stuck at 0% and I skipped out of that after about 1 minute.

for the weather issue the debug log shows:

ERROR: CFileCurl::CReadState::Open, didn't get any data from stream.

Thanks for any help!

Curl failure 28 is a timeout, from the manpage.

Try this from the command line:

Code:

curl -v http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/addons.xml.md5

And see what happens. Paste the output here.

I have the same error and there is my command output, note that curl is not an actual dependency for xbmc just libcurl for python which is not the same., despite that I installed curl and run the command, that's how I got that output.

Please time that to see if it could be a timeout issue. We've seen reports of timeouts due to server load, that could be what's going on here.
