Since I can't use my RPi for playback atm I might as well use it to test beta2.
Any special setup required after writing img to sd?

@zilexa

I wrongly labeled the filesystem, so have to edit the image and reupload. so either wait 2-3-4 hours or grab it and update cmdline.txt in /boot by changing root=LABEL=xbian-copy to root=LABEL=xbian-beta2

introduced --fs-label to allow custom label for clone, changed on all places where used but not when creating cmdline.txt . already corrected the tool, will correct img and reupload. correct LABEL is xbian-beta2.

@lordgandhi

inputlirc is lirc daemon provided by Debian upstream repo? Do you have experience with other RPI XBMC installs providing info that it is behaving differently?

what happens if you create secondary char device inside /dev with the same major/minor numbers as input1, input2? would this be a solution?

Yep,
it's the inputlirc daemon package provided by the debian wheezy repo.
I didn't test it with other RPI distros, but until beta2 now; from the alphas to beta1.1 it worked.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by your second part, since input1 and 2 correspond to the mouse respective keybooard parts of my MCE remote. I'm not surce if you want me to create ohter devices in /dev and if so I don't know how to do that.

ok, that looks then as xbmc is doing this differently now. to be sure you can grab any of those http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/main/x/xbian-package-xbmc/ and test with beta2.

apt will not allow you to downgrade to those versions, but with following few steps you can test & revert back in few minutes:

Code:

cd /tmp

sudo -i

wget http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/main/x/xbian-package-xbmc/xbian-package-xbmc_2.3-0.1_armhf.deb

btrfs-auto-snapshot snapshot --name xbmctest root

stop xbmc

rm -fr /usr/local/lib/xbmc

rm -fr /usr/local/share/xbmc

dpkg -x xbian-package-xbmc_2.3-0.1_armhf.deb /

start xbmc

.

.

.

btrfs-auto-snapshot rollback root/@xbmctest

reboot

the btrfs-auto-snapshot command will take just few seconds for creating the point and rollback as well.

Ok, thanks will test that tomorrow when I've got the time.

Changing the label from xbian-copy to xbian-beta2 worked.

One small suggestion. When you load the settings of a specific tab in xbian-config-xbmc and try to load the settings from another tab. The second tab waits for the first tab to complete. It would be great to have some sort of threading so you can load various tabs at the same time.

Small issues
- xbian-config doesn't autostart when logging in through ssh.
- when i stop xbmc through service xbmc stop and then start it again i get splash message network started
- when i reboot, it get confronted with the init process and fs resize splashes.
- the default timezone is Europe/Bratislava Smile

That was it till so far.

autostart is fixed, system cleanup tool will revert this always to autorun
i was aware of the "network started" - but until now nobody realized ;-) lol. fixed
the reboot and again resize is triggered by creating swap partition. normally it should be created during first boot if parameter present in cmdline.txt, but wasn't working like that. always after second reboot. as I was changing the label I found why (couldn't find it before for almost two months). should be fixed
heh. what it is by default? system timezone should then be reverted as well.

testing now all the fixes, if ok will re-upload image. removed it for the time being.

ok, the same. no idea.

wait for the new image and please report back.

Also, consider changing the systemtotaluptime in guisettimgs.xml to zero on first boot:

Code:

<general>

        <systemtotaluptime>123</systemtotaluptime>

        <addonautoupdate>true</addonautoupdate>

        <addonnotifications>true</addonnotifications>

        <addonforeignfilter>false</addonforeignfilter>

    </general>

it's in a thread (one thread by loading cat), first version wasn't, but if i remember, i didn't have pushed it, so your version should be threaded.
Normally it should be possible to load multiple cat
but i develop under vnc, and sometimes it freeze, don't know if it's the case without vnc.
you can activate Debug, and check log, you should see if loading is started.

Also only somes are freezing (Service,Packages and preference),
loading is same code for all, so i suspect a 'race condition' bug,
i was first believe that processor was full, but it's happens also in preference where code is really simple (read small data on a small file).

i have looking a bit before, but didn't find what's the problem. i've found a bug with progress dialog and xbmcbultin call, and it take me very long time to find. if i've found time, will look again, but it's not a priority for me

and there is a lock around xbian-config call, i use now only one bash session, and communicate via stdin/stdout. So only one call is allowed at the same time.
pipe & co is not my cup of tea, do you think it's possible that each call has stdout redirect to a different pipe?
but this is not the main problem i think as preference has no xbian-config call

The reboots after the latest updates don't seem to reboot but merely shut down. I need to unplug and replug the power cable to get XBian booting again.

mk01 · 2nd Nov, 2013, 07:18 AM

@Smultie so you are on the happy users having shutdown sequence longer than 30s ??? I will recheck whether I didn't switch the run levels.

just out of curiosity. Can you post your ls -la /etc/rc0.d and ls -la /etc/rc6.d ?

@Smultie are you running any transmissiond, or SickBears or anything? or you have over 200 shares mounted on RPI ?

**Smultie** · 2nd Nov, 2013, 07:55 AM

None of those Wink

I just used "check deb upgrades" after which XBian told me it needed a reboot.
I pressed "Yes" to let it reboot, the reboot sequence started with the XBian-logo.
Normally it would reboot after that, but now: only a black screen.
I also couldn't SSH in without powercycling it by removing the power cable.
