Pi License not accepted so no video - taurusgd - 26th Dec, 2014 04:40 AM
Thought I would give xbian a try to compare vs raspbmc. Install went well until I tried to put in my mpeg 2 license no. It would not save it. I have 2 licenses on 2 sd cards and tried the other number and it accepted it but it was the wrong number for the card being used and so no video. I booted back up with the raspbmc sd card and checked I was using the right number. So tried again and still it wont save the number. Does not make any sense to me.
Should I re-install? I am using the newest download available and am using the older raspberry pi.
Thanks

how did you add the licence?
once added check it is stored in /boot/config.txt or add it there manually and see if it works

I added it via the config menu in program files, I believe.
Used Yatse remote to add.
Will try your idea.
Thanks

Ok, that way worked after I figured out how to assign password to root.
Thanks again.

Do you own more than one RPi? if so are you sure you using the right codes?
As it just should work

And "vcgencmd codec_enabled" is case-sensitive:
Terminal
xbian@xbian ~ $ vcgencmd codec_enabled h264
h264=disabled
xbian@xbian ~ $ vcgencmd codec_enabled H264
H264=enabled
h264=disabled
xbian@xbian ~ $ vcgencmd codec_enabled H264
H264=enabled
