sudo service xbmc restart

only stops xbmc it does not restart it again.

I'm sure we had this issue a while ago with Beta 2.

Can someone else confirm this!

Confirmed! Same behavior here...

Btw.: Where is the 'xbmc' service file located?

[CurlyMo]

Code:

root@xbian: ~# ls /etc/init/xbmc*
/etc/init/xbmc-changesettings.conf  /etc/init/xbmc-loaded.conf
/etc/init/xbmc.conf                 /etc/init/xbmc.override
/etc/init/xbmc-done.conf            /etc/init/xbmc-preload.conf
/etc/init/xbmc-exits.conf           /etc/init/xbmc-priority.conf
/etc/init/xbmc-failed-start.conf    /etc/init/xbmc-screensaver.conf
/etc/init/xbmc-kill-splash.conf

Thanks CurlyMo.

Normally I can connect via windoze and Mac via smb to pickup the backup-home file. But since Gotham, I have been unable to connect.

SMB is running fine for me with Gotham too.

Since I have updated to gotham I experience a lot of static / white noise (audio i mean). Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? On the internet people from raspbmc experience the same if they update to gotham, and for them a clean install fixes the problem, but i have no idea how to do a clean install to gotham with xbian, since it is using the update mechanism..

---

Or can I do an uninstall of my current xbmc, and a fresh install of gotham? Or wouldn't that make any difference? If someone could explain me how to do, I could at least test it..

[IriDium]

@NitSuA
I haven't experienced any issues with the sound. Have you checked the System ->Audio settings as there are a few more options there.

If no joy, post dmesg and xbmc.log there might be something in there.

[NitSuA]

Yes, went to advanced settings, checked every setting, and did a reset of the audio settings as well, still no luck. I do see more people on the web with the same issue. Do you know how to fully uninstall xbmc and fresh install gotham?

[IriDium]

@NitSuA

You've got a good backup - right

I assume all updates have been installed?

Otherwise it's a format: reinstall Beta2: Upgrade: Add Gotham: Hope audio works.

If there is an issue, it would be helpful to know what is causing the problem.

Have a good play with all the settings and see if anything improves it.

What is your setup? RPi -> AVR -> TV ?

---

Just had a thought.

You might be able to get back to Frodo by:

Terminal

sudo apt-get -y install xbian-package-xbmc

It used to work.

Hi @IriDium, i have my rpi with hdmi directly connected to my tv. I experienced a bit noise in frodo as well, but much less. Btw. When i exit a movie (stop playing), the noise is most noticable, but after 1 min, the noise completely stops abd xbmc is silent again. I do saw an option something like "keep audio alive for 1 min", so that could be a starting point?

Sounds more like hardware than software. Try resetting the cables or try a new cable.
I haven't used "keep audio alive" but it could be worth a try.
Check your TV volume control is not too high as well.

-------------------- New Thread ----------------------

Does anyone know how to get smb to work? Or what to check - I've looked at smb.conf in /etc/samba and .smb but nothing obvious shows up.

I used to be able to connect via Windoze and Mac to the shared folders, but since the upgrade I cannot.

In Windoze Network connections all of the available shares used to show up, but not any more. If I manually add one, it is Ok.
On Mac, connect to server, it errors with "Some data could not be read or written" -36

Any ideas?

BTW - Restarting samba in ssh xbian-config throws you out of the shell. Nothing in dmesg or xbmc.log

Terminal

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly

This package delivers a stable build of XBMC 13.

From fresh Beta2 install, you should update your Xbian at first.

The package xbian-package-xbmc currently consists of XBMC 13 Beta 2. So no need to install the nightly packages.

Hi guys

Not sure what i'm doing wrong but i don't seem to be able to get subtitles to work. Using XBMC13, RC2 and latest updates, Confluence for Xbian and added OpenSubtitles.org as provider.

Everytime i play a movie/show, choosing the "subtitles" option does nothing, anybody else experienced something similar?

Confluence for Xbian is not (yet) compatible with XBMC13, switch to Confluence

@Trekster - Subtitles are a known problem.
@BINairLADEN - Neither does Amber-Xbian work
