ie:

Code:

git clone --depth 5 -b xbian-alpha5 git://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian.git

Still the same...I'll try another SD Card just in case...

EDIT
I changed sd card and it works...untill' this message : fatal: fsync error on '/opt/xbian/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_KUuUic': Input/output error

Any idea ?

Just wanted to chime in here. I have a similar setup in terms of software stack. But i do have overclock set to medium and am on the 512 b models. I do not seem to have performance issues, albeit the sickbeard site is tad slow to start and i have both sickbeard and couchpotato start with nice 19.

I have attached the couchpotato and sickbeard init.d files that i use. Hope that helps.

I bellieve it has to do with the "download package"(sickbeard, couchpotato, etc). After installing said package i had severe performance problems in xbmc, where the service would actually be killed, often within seconds of booting. I wasn't able to get a debug log, nor did it generate any crash report that i can find, however when i removed the download packages, my problems resolved themselves. as a note i have no overclock enabled, last time i did that i got a corrupted sdcard.

Would this perhaps be a ram issue, as i have the 256mb version?

I've actually repurposed an old laptop to serve as an NAS, a task the pi was formerly performing. With it's reduced load of tasks it seems to run better(although playback is a bit less reliable), it also eliminates the need for those packages on the pi. Thanks though

I have tried this 3X now. After I C-n-p root@xbian:/opt/xbian# git reset --hard 50715b73e7cd3f0229569809ef3ce5b03013d533
I recieve this message fatal: Could not parse object '50715b73e7cd3f0229569809ef3ce5b03013d533'.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or work around it?

Thank you

@Uncle_Tubbie skip the git reset --hard step, ATM it won't make a difference

@Koenkk = thank you

And ATM it does again

Updated to 6cbc6d using the steps described in post #1. XBMC boots fine, but the moment I try to load system settings or play a file, the screen goes black and nothing responds.

Can still SSH in no problem. Restarting xmbc from there works, but I still can't get past the menu screen.

Sounds to me like XBMC is crashing.
Can you post a dmesg report?

Did anything change regarding memory usage? I updated following the instructions. My system is use the cmyth pvr mythtv client. It seems to work. LiveTV playback through the PVR client is smoother.

However, the system crashes often. I think it runs out of memory and goes to the black screen. I can reproduce using the following steps:

1. Reboot.
2. When xbmc starts, it will initialize the pvr stuff and start loading from the mythtv backend.
3. At the same time, access a uPNP device with a large set of subdirs. It crashes here often.

@monkeypet and Crashhatch, could you post your /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log right after the crash?

First time poster here. I too am having it show a black screen but mine is right away on bootup. I ssh'd in and found that xbmc.bin is not running (ps |grep xbmc.bin will show you). I then started it and got the blue screen for about 3 seconds and then got a segmentation fault. I even reflashed my card Aplha4 and then went through the steps again and got the same results.

Here is the dmesg: http://pastebin.com/Bt0Z24Eu

Edit by Koenkk: Please post your logs on pastebin.com and link them here. For this time I did this for you

@rikkards, can you please post the log on pastebin and put the link to it here.

Seems that the latest XBMC isn't working well. If you are having problems replace the git reset --hard hash with 3bb844a380e93c049ff236bf59bcc6c14b5cc96b

Hi,

I just followed these steps:



xbian@xbian:~/.xbmc/temp# vcgencmd version
Jan 9 2013 17:27:35
Copyright © 2012 Broadcom
version 361556 (release)
xbian@xbian:~/.xbmc/temp#



Went into XBMC -> System -> System Info

Got "Black Screen of Death" (just my fancy way of saying i got black screen, but SSH is ok)

xbmc log shows just this:
21:27:51 T:2950468672 ERROR: Unable to load libcurl.so.4, reason: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
