If I plug my Android phone in - and turn on usb storage it attempts to connect but fails. The same on Beta 1.1

Another Problem:
-------------------------------------

There seems to be a btrfs "checking program" running. BTRFS debug (device mmcblk0p2): unlinked 5 orphans. However, when it runs, it unmounts the drive (visible in xbmc) and then remounts it. This "pops up" the new browse function within xbmc on xbian-root-btrfs.

dmesg:
device label xbian-root-btrfs devid 1 transid 1017 /dev/mmcblk0p2
BTRFS debug (device mmcblk0p2): unlinked 4 orphans

This could get annoying when watching a movie!

I'm aware of it, unfortunately I don't have a solution yet. It's the same as with /boot (auto mount / umount).

but reason for that is btrfs-auto-snapshot run. it mounts the fs with subvol=/ to have access to all volumes. this triggers the popup in xbmc and on amount it triggers the unlinking of orphans.

I don't know which revision you have (/etc/xbian_revision) but already since 13 or 14 there is no schedule to run snapshoting hourly, just daily and weekly and anacron is running those jobs between 05-07am. so should not distract from movie Wink

I was already asking for help about configuring this auto-popup feature of xbmc, but nobody replied. so I'm slowly reviewing xbmc sources and seems that there is no config / variable to dynamically set criteria for popups. And I'm not really keen into patching xbmc code. It would be as solution, but …

Going to your first topic, I don't get it fully what you mean. You installed xbian onto flash drive. Ok. But it's clear it will be btrfs.

@f1v4

you are using lirc if I remember correctly? can you update lirc package to 1.4-6 ? it has upstart script. functionality should be as with 1.4-5 (right module should be in /etc/modules, lirc starting trying auto detect the loaded module and choose right config / binary to start).

and is started before xbmc.

kernel config is the same for 1.1 and 1.2, only kernel ver different 3.9 vs 3.10

rpi can't recognize partitions on the disk, this mostly leads to non loaded usb_storage module. can you check, that usb_storage is loaded ?

init: xbian-xbmc-bridge main process (1513) terminated with status 1
init: xbian-xbmc-bridge main process ended, respawning

this looks like xbmc process crashed (even if still on the screen).

which kernel you have? on 3.10.3+ someone wrongly merged patches and usb stack was quite messed up with lots of oops points. with 3.10.4+ now it looks ok - although I had no such freezes, but I start from SD and watch through NFS. but still I noticed lots of oops debug messages in dmesg console.

what needs to be solved are the lirc and keymap issues. As I'm full CEC with no IR devices (i have few Apple remotes, but no IR receiver for RPI) - this is area I have not beed focused to.

I also have centralized media library and all media files on network and no windows in house, just linux and Macs. from this:

1) lirc - just now I rewritten the scripts to upstart with starting before xbmc. so we need to pinpoint if the recent issues with beta 1.1 has something todo with the recent Koenns code updates, or the whole problem was bug in beta1 which removed all modules from /etc/modules and the fact, that lirc was starting from runlevel2 which is starting AFTER xbmc was started - some leads are now and then infos, that stopping and starting xbmc helps to get lirc support or the fact, that without lirc module loaded BEFORE lircd is starting, all config files used are not the proper one.
2) CIFS - connect to samba shares. I'm using nfs and nfs4, this is properly tested, but not CIFS
3) Video and Music library on local drive, with at least 500+ movies, at least 5000+ songs. If xbmc on RPI and CoW filesystem is somehow still acceptable solution (memory usage, speed)

now and then I use Airplay as well, but Yamaha recently integrated AirPlay into their RX AV product line so I changed two receivers - RPI was working, but delay is long and buffer short. But if any problem should be found, it's again some combination of avahi-daemon and dbus.

May be related to http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1186.html?highlight=dvd

Right clicking shows Play Disc, Eject/Load but none of them work.

I will try if I find the ext USB DVD drive, but this looks like XBMC relies on it's internal compiled support rather than system wise.

kernel scsi sg (cdrom) support is compiled, you can try loading "sg" module. but again, never tried before.
