[1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - effemmeffe - 15th Sep, 2014 04:32 AM
Today I wasn't able to watch anything on my PI because after few seconds XBMC restarts itself.
She still on, but it keeps going to the splash page saying XBMC start.
Any idea?
Some days ago I installed btsync.

Any help, please?

It looks like a number of people are having issues with RC3 ... several people including myself ended up with a restarting xbmc every couple of minutes. I'd say your best bet is to roll back to a working snapshot and wait for the dust to settle on RC3. Take a look at http://wiki.xbian.org/doku.php/snapshots to roll back.
Hopefully you should still be able to ssh in despite the respawning process.

I have a rc2 image, if I install that can I do a apt-get upgrade or should I avoid that to stay with rc2?
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - Skywatch - 19th Sep, 2014 06:44 AM
If you already tried RC3 and had problems, then stay with RC2 for now.
Also, FWIW, try to update/upgrade via SSH and xbian-config as it is reported to be a little safer...

Yes, I want to stay on rc2, but it is not clear to me if I should not update to achieve that. Should I disable the auto update in xbian-config?

Yes it's best to disable auto update for a while, the issues are being worked out.

I don't get it. If RC3 really is that bad, just take it off the site and the repo.
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - f1vefour - 19th Sep, 2014 05:09 PM
I have already suggested this.
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - CurlyMo - 19th Sep, 2014 05:36 PM
Is apt upgrading also considered unstable?
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - f1vefour - 19th Sep, 2014 06:01 PM
If btrfs-tools is still broken and whatever the nfs issue is then I would definitely say even apt upgrading is a bad idea.
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - CurlyMo - 19th Sep, 2014 06:22 PM
Is btrfs-tools still broken? And what is the NFS issue?
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - f1vefour - 19th Sep, 2014 06:41 PM
My router is currently out of commission so I can't do an upgrade to check. I will have to find the thread with the NFS issue.
•edit•
Okay it's samba not NFS:

There is another thread with a similar issue.
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - CurlyMo - 19th Sep, 2014 06:47 PM
Can you link the other thread as well?
RE: [1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting - f1vefour - 19th Sep, 2014 07:39 PM
I can't find the other thread. I wonder if the XBMC dying issue in this thread isn't from samba as well, it is enabled by default isn't it?
