ATV SSHC builds and script error 126

sorry, I totally missed this thread.

The xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh is "hosted" in my Dropbox. I can change the file, but I guess it might be a better solution if you just host the update script on your machine. That way you can adapt it to your needs. Basically you'd just need to update the Info.asp and point the key "UpdateScript" to you own file instead of "http://files.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh".

Please feel free to ask if this isn't clear.

cheers,

What do I need to do?

Phreeze · 2010-05-18 02:42

In this script:
http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/info.asp

Change:

Code:

<key>UpdateScript</key> 

<string>http://files.getdropbox.com/u/858897/XBMC/xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh</string>

To:

Code:

<key>UpdateScript</key> 

<string>http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh</string>

(or wherever you want to place it)

Roger. I downloaded the xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh and put it in my root. I updated my info.asp to point to it.

Now that I see it, wasn't most of the compaints because of a missing folder?

#this is where to extract the above tar to
TEMP_STORAGE=/Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads
#this is what we expect in the TAR
DMG_NAME=XBMC.dmg

Should there not be a command to actually create the folder if it is not there thereby avoiding the missing folder error.

DMG_NAME=XBMC.dmg
Can now be changed to the proper XBMC_for_OSX.dmg so that part is easily fixed.

What I need to know is how this file is accessed? Do I need to add a mime type so that it downloads from my website to the local machine and from there it is executed?

TheQuestor · 2010-05-18 04:30

it "should" be working now.

I tried to update this morning, but got that same 126 error. When I went to check to see if that /Users/frontrow/Library/Caches/XBMCLauncherDownloads directory was missing, I discovered that the Caches folder was missing in Library! I recreated both directories with WinSCP and did a sudo reboot in PuTTY and tried again.

I opened up WinSCP to watch what it was doing. While it was downloading, I went into the /Users/frontrow/Library/Caches directory and noticed that the XBMCLauncherDownloads folder was gone, but there was a XBMCLauncherDownloads file in its place! It was growing in size, so it was the temp file that was being downloaded!

Needless to say, I got an Error 126 again when the download finished and the script tried to run.

KevinSartori · 2010-05-18 15:45

This is probably being presumptuous of me, but I really want to help get this problem fixed for TheQuestor. Here's the xbmc-9.04_update_sshcs.sh file that TheQuestor is using for his build. Do any of the coders out there see a problem with it?

Code:

I'm not a programmer, but I can see at the beginning where it creates the paths. On my AppleTV though, the Cache folder was somehow deleted and the new directories weren't created. Plus, instead of creating the XBMC_OSX_30260.tgz file, it created a file called XBMCLauncherDownloads (no extension) in the Cache directory.

The install script is run once the download has finished. So it won't help to create the folders inside the install script.

I could not find console.log of any install that failed in this thread. Someone able to post one? That might help.

@Kevin:
What Launcher version are you using?

KevinSartori · 2010-05-18 20:03

I'm using Launcher 3.2.4.

I deleted the existing xbmc.log and CrashReporter.log, did a sudo reboot and tried downloading the nightly build again. I got Error 126 after it finished downloading, but I looked and there was no xbmc.log, CrashReporter.log or console.log generated. I've never seen a console.log on my AppleTV. In fact, there is no Console folder in /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs. Is there something I need to do to "activate" the generation of console.log?

tuckbodi · 2010-05-18 21:09

At least the direct download from the site is now working. Just not as convenient as using the script but still works.

check davilla's signature, it has the path to console.log
