[SOLVED] No add-ons work, plus other issues

[travhoog]

It appears the data corruption idea was not the issues. Reformatted and re-installed xbian to no avail. the same problems persist.

If you use DHCP make sure your router is configured properly and the right connection is assigned to your RPi. If you use static IP make sure you have all the informations right-IP address, DNS server, etc, etc..
Did you try ping google ? by doing this you should be able to see if your connection works properly

I run DHCP, with a DHCP reservation for my RPi's MAC address, as I do with all devices that stay on the network 100% of the time. I am able to ping Google and xbian.org. But as I mentioned before, I have always been able to download and install addons.

Thanks for everyone's continued help and ideas. I hope there is a solution.

A development: I exited xbmc and logged in as root, the ran "sudo services xbnc start". I uninstalled all addons and installed YouTube as root, and though I saw one script error, it has since been running. I suspect a permissions issue. Any ideas?

I spoke too soon. Perhaps Youtube was never an issue. I still cannot set the weather or run programs I tried previously.

I'm starting to think I need to try OpenElec.
