All my Lirc issues are fixed now. Thanks!

However, before i upgraded today the analog sound quality was amazing (for what you could expect). No more noise during and when pausing movies. However, sadly the apt repository doesn't contain old versions anymore so it's hard to test which version it was. Also, video playback started nearly instantaneous while now you have to wait for about 3 seconds (again).

So generally, is it possible to have the devel repository keep old deb packages so we can also test older versions when necessary. My apt generation script was especially created for XBian to support this multi-version feature. Will return to my previous backup to see if it's better.

thanks for lirc report.

firmware. I put version .7 out to devel (two?) days ago (it is dated Oct-1st) as got feedbacks people installed manually and got no feedback saying differently. previous one was .6 quite long on apt repo, try this one. then .3 was last one shutting down with kernels < 3.10 but I had hickups on audio. both are there http://xbian.brantje.com/devel/rollback/ .

I'm aware of multiversion storage on public repo and this will be continued. I will process to it also other versions which we kept from what ever reason during beta2 development. I wanted to use the script for devel as well but Brantje was struggling to create ssh account so I couldn't prepare structure / update script / check.

Anyhow again, once Beta2 goes out, packages will be just added to official repo as usual, devel will be cleaned and created as per public repo template, only created empty for Beta3 round.

mk

(I have also .4 and .5 version of firmware somewhere - if not, firmware is for sure tagged on git)

Perhaps an update to Post 1 would be in order to deal with this is all sorted out.

@numanoids

you are just too quick and I told you that already. This particular package initscripts was rolled out from Debian day or two ago. As Beta2 has not this issue and is only clear that updates from older versions can not be tested each hour, it was only question of hours who will report first. What I wrote was valid and the solution was three posts back over your report that Beta2 upgrade is not working.

then with apt-get install xbian-update not continuing over xbian-package-xbmc BREAK problem was indeed solvable as was repeated in my post "apt-get install xbian-update xbian-package-xbmc" and on many occasions about Kept Back packages (on numerous occasions) - that easiest (and safest) approach is just copy & paste all packages names (kept back) - paste them as parameter to apt-get install command. It was in the 1st Beta2 thread, then not in 2nd because it was follow up and test group was already on Beta2.

Yes indeed I can understand frustration but sometimes it is just useless act of sadomasochisms. Your health is getting a hit at most. So I tried to cool you down, that it IS already posted few times there and solutions is easy.

You just wasn't lucky to find it before I answered. And exactly as you are saying, because we have now four identical reports and my post from yesterday that it is no-chance someone on Beta1X will NOT hit it, we can update opening post. As we now have final confirmations from you, myself, exnor and He4dShOt that it is really working.

So i'm quite sure update finished for you also at this time already and it was a success. Report Back.

btw: if you join the team to fill in the gap with missing sticky threads about actual issues / solutions, even resurrection of Wiki, we will only appreciate it. Someone would be really required and highly honored (with thanks). Even all know-how is in the Team, maybe even written all over the forum. So now and then just pick the right one and probably consolidate more posts. Nothing highly professionalized.
