Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - IriDium - 9th Feb, 2014 12:54 AM

This thread is ONLY for Xbian issues resulting from the CuBox-i image of Xbian. (NB: Not for the original Cubox)

Do not post anything here that is related to the Raspberry Pi. Use this thread instead.

Download the latest CuBox-i image Here or use Xbian-Installer Windoze or OSX or Linux 64 only

*** NOTE *** This is still in the development stage. Please report any issues to this thread.


RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - Teoman - 9th Feb, 2014 09:48 AM

I am using xbian on Cubox-i 4pro. I've tested android, ubuntu, geexbox and OpenELEC, and currently think that xbian is the most useful xbmc distribution with the best user experience.

Since the update also Airplay is working, even though it's buggy, which I think has nothing to do with cubox or xbian. The bug is that videos from iphone are not played back correctly via Airplay and sometimes you have to rename the system name and reboot so the idevices recognizes xbian xbmc as airplay receiver. I had the same issue with Rpi and OpenELEC since iOS 7.2. So I think this is more related to iOS 7.2 together with the current xbmc release on any platform.

Xbian config is not working over the menu (restarts xbmc). But still possible via ssh.

Anything else is working fine for me, especially
- Airplay (not perfect, but pictures can be streamed, videos sometimes as well)
- HD Movies, 1080p, smooth
- AVCHD / mts -> no issues at all
- advancedsettings.xml can be configured to use mysql database to store movie information

I've tested network throughput with iperf and got about 400 Mbit/s in a gigabit LAN environment.

And thats pretty much.
I can definetly recommend xbian on cubox-i 4pro.

Same here, with Cubox-i4. I have to add that CEC works great when it works! The link between the Tv and XBMC is not easy to have and is lost very easyly, but maybe a problem with the TV or XBMC.

I want to add that I installed Transmission, works great.

I also installed BittorrentSync to be able to sync some of my folder accross the house. Seems to work great! I followed the instruction word for word for the NOT ubuntu installation described here:
http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18974-debian-and-ubuntu-server-unofficial-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/


RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - dantahoua - 10th Feb, 2014 01:03 AM

Hello!
Seems that "lirc" is not loaded. Is there any specific way for installing it? I would like to hook my remote to Xbmc...
Ok I find the post for remote conf: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1852.html
The Cubox-i4 receive my remote command, I have to configure it, I'll keep people in touch.

Some of my file don't play well on Xbmc (they play well within Xbmc on my Mac)... Some Avi file and some Mkv file do not show image, just sound, or sometimes nothing....

Hi,

i've fixed xbian-config-xbmc for gotham, but can't test on Cubox,
if you want to try before MK01 make the package,
@mk01 can i've a write acces on devel repo, at least for xbian-config, i could upload package myself.

sudo apt-get install fakeroot
git clone https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-config-xbmc.git
cd xbian-package-config-xbmc
./gen.package.sh
sudo dpkg -i xbian-package-config-xbmc.deb

Hope it will work too on cubox.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work on the Cubox-I4Q. Here's the run down of what I did to try to achieve this.

Maybe just ignore the binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf message. It still seems to build correctly, as I ran dpkg and now my xbian config works from within xbmc without crashing.

@stolidity
glad to hear it work for you!
@Whitepyro
i've no cubox, and i'm not the autor of generate package script. maybe it miss some dependencies,
if it don't work for you, wait for package online, it should'nt be long.

I can confirm by ignoring the prereq that it does fix the issue..

RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - vlamic - 16th Feb, 2014 11:56 PM

Hey guys!

Great operation system, I think I'm gonna love after I fix issues!

So, I've installed the Xbian for Cubox via:

wget http://xbian.brantje.com/images/xbian-cubox.1.img.gz
gunzip xbian-cubox.1.img.gz
dd if=./xbian-cubox.1.img of=/dev/XXXXXX bs=1m

However, when I start the fresh install, the system doesn't allow me to ssh:

ssh xbian@192.168.1.12
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

Can somebody point what am I doing wrong or how to fix that?

Thank you


RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - dantahoua - 17th Feb, 2014 12:08 AM

You have to activate ssh login via xbian-config first... Smile

Was rebooting when tried to access the config. But it works now. Had to reboot the system instead of continuing with the "welcome wizard".


RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - mk01 - 18th Feb, 2014 02:03 AM

on first start XBian is regenerating rsa & ecsa private / public pairs to be uniq on each installation. this can take 1-2 minutes alone. the actual "problem" is that ssh is waiting for sufficiently random data from random interface. and this is not the case of clean early boot. so at the end it can take up to 5-10 minuted.

but then SSH should start.

Debian is not providing ANY afp support in Jessie (at least at present time).

I downloaded from Sid and installed manually to image. So I suppose Netatalk will be in Sid as well.


RE: Official CuBox-i XBian 1.0 Beta 2 thread - schmimat - 20th Feb, 2014 05:33 PM

Hi,

I ran xbian on a PI since the first release of the 1.0 beta2. It works like a charm. Thank you for the greate work.

In Oktober 2013 i order a Cubox-i 2 (get it in the middle of January) and now I finde some time to install xbian on it.
I'm glade to find out that the xbian team is willing to support the Cubox-I.

I installed the image last night and had no problems to get a picture on my TV. (CEC don't work, but I have a Logitech K400)

When I try to
Terminal
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
, the initscripts was unable to upgrade. (see also in the cubox forum)

Setting this package to hold
Terminal
echo initscripts hold |dpkg --set-selections
resolves this problem.

The next problem was, when I try to make a
Terminal
apt-get dist-upgrade
.

Apt-get dist-upgrade wants to install the package xbian-package-firmware from stable, but this overwrites the package xbian-package-firmware-6q 1.5.0-2 from dev.

I had to comment the stable repository in the xbian.list out to get apt-get dist-upgrade running.

Will there be the backupscript (with brtfs) in the next images?

Thank you again for the great work.

Going on testing and help to report problems to make xbian better.
