The latest image of today has just been finished. The problem of the last two weeks should be solved. Unfortunately no initramfs was created. The image should be available tomorrow evening

New images are always available on Friday evening

Will do. I will be away for 10 days from Friday so will be a couple of weeks until I can install new image if I need to. Thanks very much for your help.

I just tried the update on my 3A+, then booted the PiZero 2W and it now finds the wifi adapter. All working fine now. Thanks again for the help.

@raj, thanks for the confirmation

Hijacking thread as I can’t post new one. Following the directions utilizing the XBian Installer, the boot of the Ri 4B comes to PINN v3.8.3. I select from the Media tab – Xbian_RPi3 (2022-02-18) for install. It comes back with “OS(es) installed with errors. See debug log for details.” I went into recovery shell and see no logs under /tmp/debug.

Hardware:
- Pi 4B
- Scandisk Ultra 64GB MicroSD
- LG 27GN950 Monitor

Why do you use the PINN release.
Normally the XBian_Latest_RPi4 is the one that should be used

Hi everyone,

I tried installing XBian (images from XBian_2024.06.28_rpi.img to XBian_2024.08.23_rpi.img) on a Raspberry PI 1. Each time, the splash screen displays starting Kodi and then closes after a few minutes then redirects to login tty.

It seems kodi is not installed at all (I found start-stop-daemon: unable to stat /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin - No such file or directory in xbmc.log). I then tried to install it with apt-get install and it starts but it won't work after reboot (segmentation fault error).

So I was wondering, is XBian still supported for Raspberry PI 1 ?

Thank you

Sorry to insist, no one knows about that ?
Maybe it is an old model that interests no one ?

Sorry, I wasn't sure if your first post was spam or not.

I have a Pi1 installation, which is a bit older but otherwise not configured, so you can call it a new installation with all available updates installed..
It runs perfectly, as far as you can tell with this lame hardware. In any case, it makes no sense to use Kodi on an RPi1 anymore.

Maybe if I find time I'll flash a new image again, but I don't want to promise anything

I have now installed the latest image and lo and behold, the package xbian-package-xbmc is really missing.
The reason for this is simple as well as stupid, there is simply no more space in the file used to create the image. Obviously the packages got bigger and bigger over time and at some point the space ran out.

I will correct this in the next few days

Thank you ;-) I understand it is an old model, I still use it with an old version of libreelec until now but I am stuck with Kodi 18. I'm watching movies on 720p, it works pretty well but I have some issues with some movies freezing when I move forward/backward sometimes (it seems related to CEC) so I was hoping to get a new version that may fix that.

[Nachteule]

I suspect that if it is a fundamental problem with the RPi1, the problem will not have been solved by a newer Kodi version, as the Pi-specific parts have not been further developed.
The OMX player no longer works for me either, only MMAL.
In any case, a new image is available since yesterday. You can try it. Good luck
