open xbmc-preload.conf

and change as here - so add network device initialized as dependency

xbmc is using password files now, you should remove the usernames and passwords from sources, if they are historically there. otherwise you are leaking your password, not me.

i will not be able to review issues in categories "my xbmc is not connecting to nas or samba server".

i'm sure everybody is removing sensitive data before sending to me. this process is manual, not files are send away automatically.

but you have +1 for making this clear for other users Wink

I have tried all fixes mentioned in the thread and dbus and avahi are running now, but it still doesn't work. My iPad mini recognizes XBian as a AirPlay receiver, but when I choose XBian in eg.

unfortunately, if dbus and avahi is running, on top of the fact that xbian is presenting itself as airplay renderer…

i can't do much. Take xbmc from beta 1.0 and install to beta 1.1 - to pinpoint the source.

So the space in the SSID name actually does not work. I was using Belkin_2.4 which works but Savage 2.4 does not work. Also when I do an exit from the 'power' button on the homepage it just restarts even if I hold the shift key.

dude, this can happen for a specific case, when your asks xbmc to quit, xbmc tries to stop running child threads and fails. then xbmc stops / crashes with exit code not 0, so system thinks it was "just" crashed and restarts it - what was requested feature.

most of the time python add ons are "hanging". it was reported to xbmc devels as a bug many times two years ago with huge flame war and no solution.

hm, is this story with two different sticks pointing to a bug in driver / firmware rather then in scripting around them?

xbian config is writing the password to /etc/network/interfaces (please check content of the file), so it handles the sticks not directly. then wpa-supplicant process is picking this info, using it to create connection to ap.

so if "interfaces" file is ok for both, then the bad thing must happen at level we can't solve.

check the file, then we will discuss next steps.

When I select Savage 2.4 from the list it says it can't connect then it shows the SSID in the box as Savage/

I am going on vacation but I will look at the file that you said when I come back.

The part that you suggested worked for my SQL database though, thank you.

ok thanks. it's in the beta2 already as standard.

about the savage, as you described more details now, can even happen, that "iwlist" provides different output with this card (so points again to driver difference), but could be solved within xbian-config.

can you please send "lwlist wlan0 scanning" output, for both usb sticks? thanks


RE: Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread - numanoids - 5th Aug, 2013 01:16 AM

I did a clean-installation followed by an xbmc-restore and I've discovered that zeroconf isn't showing any of my sources. Anyone able to confirm this or not? Normally I see NFS and SFTP sources in there and this worked previously.


RE: Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread - thedude459 - 6th Aug, 2013 12:53 AM

xbian@xbian ~ $ lwlist wlan0 scanning
-bash: lwlist: command not found

Am I doing something wrong?

That's iwlist


RE: Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread - thedude459 - 6th Aug, 2013 12:56 AM

I also do not have iwlist

xbian@xbian ~ $ iwlist wlan0 scan
-bash: iwlist: command not found

Try sudo apt-get install wireless-tools...not at home to check.

I looked it up.

Re: Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread - f1vefour - 6th Aug, 2013 01:11 AM

Do you have a dual-band router with both SSID's named the same?

Or a virtual interface named the same?

When your posting logs please enclose them with [code] or [term], you didn't answer my previous question. Your scan showed two SSID's named the same but on different channels.


RE: Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread - thedude459 - 7th Aug, 2013 08:13 AM

Sorry I didn't see your question. We must have posted at the same time. I have 2 dual band routers. One attached to the other via cat5 cable.

So yes I have Savage_2.4 on channel 1 and 6 then I have Savage_5 on 2 different channels.

One router is setup as the gateway with DHCP then other is a router with no DHCP.
