I didn't realize xbian carried several players. Does this mean that I could potentially use different players for movies and music and thereby have HDMI sound for the movies but analogue for music?

Maybe someone with more knowledge can answer that. I don't think it's possible, but I didn't investigate a lot on the subject. I have a similar setup like yours and I simply turn off the speakers when watching a movie or turn off the TV when listening to music

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.

I just use xbian-config to update and I am now on XBMC 13 beta 1. Not final, not beta 2 not 13.1. So I think it is necessary to run

Terminal

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

It's 13.1 beta 1, not 13.0

But the nightly package isn't more up to date right now - it's 13.1 beta 1 too.

Ooh shit my mistake. But for me, XBMC is a bit more slow, sloppy. Everyone says it's faster perhaps I have to do a clean install using the RC2 image provided on the download page.

Edit: just got a pop-up on my tv! XBMC Version check recommending me to upgrade. Nice feature.

BTW I can confirm UPNP library sharing works flawlessly. An RPi can now also function as "media hub", no need for MySQL! Perfect. I can Even play an 480p file on my tv and scroll through the library on my phone, look at a 720p video on my phone using XBMC on Android, accessing the UPNPshared library of the RPi. (never set up NFS btw).

Guys, I have a problem with WiFi connection on both xbian RC2 and RC2+ update to nightly build.
I cannot connect to WiFi. Password dialog is not showing after selecting your network.
Does anybody have the same problem ? Any thoughts about it ?

[belese]

yes it's a know problem, already fixed on git, so for next version.
for now you can connect via xbian-config via ssh.

Problem description:

It's not a problem as such...but very annoying.

Very slow transferring between screens - goes into a wait state - but then works. Same if I mark a episode as watched. Have to wait about 2 minutes for the screen to come back.

If I start a movie, audio start but it takes about 2 seconds for the video to show.

Looking at the forum, this seems to be related to the model A as nothing is found for the problem.

Would changing the memory help - config.txt has it at 100?

How to reproduce:

Err I guess get a model A and try :-(

@padrekopre

Strange error - only thing I can see is you trying to do a sudo as root.

Can you do as root
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Why did you delete "rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*" ?

Also why are you sudo -i when you are already root.

... and why when I asked you do:-
"Can you do as root
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade"

You still issued it with sudo!!

I feel you'll need to reflash your SD card

Could also well be a Raspbian issue.

I'm having an issue where some videos with 5.1 audio are only spitting out 2.0 audio, and it seems like it's only the rear streams. It started right around when I upgraded to Gotham. I haven't had a chance to sit down and properly debug it but I'm wondering if anyone else has hit a similar issue? Thanks.

---

Ok, I did some more debugging. I just tried running HDMI through a few different cables, and 2 different HDMI to S/PDIF pass through doodads. They all still only spit out 2.0 audio. My receiver states the incoming stream is PCM and the stream info overlay in XBMC lists 5.1. Not sure what else to do to debug. Both the pass through boxes work fine if I plug in my laptop.

[IriDium]

@rubin110

I've noticed something similar on the Cubox-i version. I haven't boiled down the issue but it seems to be related to the settings in System -> System -> Audio. Without passthrough I only get sound in the rear speakers.

Hello,
I have problems upgrading the base-files package (actually already quite long... I "hold" the package in order to install other upgrades).

Code:

Preparing to replace base-files 7.1wheezy4+rpi1 (using .../base-files_7.1wheezy5+rpi1_armhf.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement base-files ...
Replaced by files in installed package xbian-update ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.1wheezy5+rpi1_armhf.deb (--unpack):
unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ': No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.1wheezy5+rpi1_armhf.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

As seen the problem is in creating the symlink. And the error is the "." in the beginning. Where is this symlink defined so I can remove the dot?

Second question: These files are automatically on hold: xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-shairplay
Can I "unhold" them, or is this intended?

Thank you for your help

EDIT: A third question: Are those bugs actually fixed in the recent kernel? https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2014/msg00130.html (CVE-2014-3144 CVE-2014-3145 CVE-2014-3153)
