My movie and album covers are displayed in XBMC but not on my Android Remote.

I pressed 'Download Covers' on the remote several times, but this didn't help.

I run T3CH XBMC 2010-07-08 SVN rev30442 on the Xbox 1.
My Android remote control version is v0.8.3-beta1 Rev 686.

What did I forget?

Hit "Clear Cache" in the Download Covers than try to download the Movie Posters again. Let's see if that helps.

[AussieFries]

Clearing the cache didn't work unfortunately.

Any other suggestions?

[the_alien]

Try to download the covers and post the android log.

Thats the process list, not the log file. And the remote isn't even running.

[AussieFries]

Sorry, previous post has been edited now.

Please advise.

[the_alien]

That's still no log but the list of the running processes.

[AussieFries]

I followed the instructions in the FAQ. This is what the SendLog application produced (I chose "Raw")

The application which loads when I I run ddms.bat couldn't find any log.

Is there any other way to find or generate a log file?

[the_alien]

If I run sendlog, the log entries are below the process list. Should look like this:

D/dalvikvm( 2977): GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 14 objects / 514736 bytes in 27ms
E/Tethering( 126): attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring

D/dalvikvm( 1438): GC_EXPLICIT freed 7466 objects / 447976 bytes in 74ms
D/NetworkLocationProvider( 126): onDataConnectionStateChanged 1

[AussieFries]

double - sorry

[AussieFries]

SendLog didn't work for me but I found a great free app in the Android Market that does the work much better: Logger.
It's shows realtime logging and you can easily save a log to your SDcard.

Please find below an excerpt of the log. Please let me know if you need any further info.

[the_alien]

Hmmm, I guess there is no microhttpd on the Xbox build. What do you see if you open one of the links above with a webbrowser?

Edit: Talked to cptspiff and the microhttpd was introduced with json rpc. None of it ever made it into the Xbox version. The version you are running is too new and the remote is using the microhttpd to download the thumbs and covers.

[AussieFries]

That's a pity

You're mentioning my XBMC version is too new but I guess downgrading has no use as there's no Xbox version that supports microhttpd?

However if a folder contains a banner.jpg, the picture will be shown when I browse on the remote and I open the mp3

[the_alien]

The remote checks the build version of XBMC. So it thinks that this revision already has microhttpd, every other build should have it. But not the XBox ones.
We should maybe check more carefully and exclude the builds that contain "T3CH". Will have to investigate further.

About the downgrading: That would work. There shouldn't be any problem with covers and the old Babylon build.
