Because of the added wiimote support

I'm in the same boat, had to let go of my 55" LED to pay bills. I agree that this man needs at least an HDMI capable monitor to work on Xbian...surely someone has a monitor that could be donated?

I haven't been able to test the HDMI on the Pi, using it on an old 27" JVC.

Why is the xbmc_2.1 package almost twice the size of xbmc_2.0?

Not complaining just asking.

Also wanted to note the 2.1 package breaks sending playing media info to Yatsee (16:9 1080 AVC1 AAC). Really an XBMC issue more than Xbian.

[CurlyMo]

Because something was wrong with the xbmc 2.0 package. 2.0 only contained changed files but a deb package should contain all files like in 2.1

[Trefex]

Since the latest update, my PI shows a black screen if my TV is off for more than 12 hours or so. The only way to get a signal back is to reboot the PI over SSH. Changing channels, pushing buttons, unplugging re/plugging HDMI do not work.

Also this is my config file
initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000
gpu_freq=280
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
decode_MPG2=XXXXXx
decode_WVC1=XXXXX
#hdmi_force_edid_audio = 1 # Passthrough of all audio, even DTS
arm_freq=950
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=450
over_voltage=2
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
disable_overscan=1

Anything I am doing wrong here??

Thank you so much for your help

[Koenkk]

I think you overclocked your pi way too high.

[doug]

Is AudioEngine enabled in this version? I am asking because I am getting an error when trying to run a simple script when I press a button. Also, xbmc quits when this happens.

Code:

[Koenkk]

No, and it probably never will because of performance issues.

Hey,

Can you recommend better values? I just have extreme lags when playing 1080p with DTSHD audio.

Thank you for your help,

Do you think the black screen is due to the overclocking?

[Koenkk]

You should be able to play 1080p DTS without problems with the XBMC 12.1 update. I recommend:

Code:

core_freq=250
arm_freq=840

These values will also be the defaults in XBian 1.0 Beta 1

Hello everyone!

I've been testing apt-get, some trial&error so as to learn how to use it properly. I had a brand new 1.05a install so I did (sudo):
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-firmware

that get rid of the audio popping issue

The I played with the alternative method to install XBMC 12.1 (sudo):
apt-get update

I realised "apt-get upgrade" would upgrade many different packages, 68 as far as I can remember so I checked what those packages are:

apt-get -s upgrade

output: http://pastebin.com/GB51V2yA

So, since I was interested in xbian-package-xbmc only I did:

apt-get install xbian-package firmware

I'm quite a newbie so I was glad to see apt-get will take care of dependencies!

apt-cache showpkg xbian-package-xbmc

E.g. xbian-package-firmware (2 1.3) and libbluetooth3 would be installed prior to xbian-package-xbmc version 2.1 Since I had already installed xbian-package-firmware (2 1.3) Xbian would only download libbluetooth3. Charming!

Plus, checksums are available and something tells me Xbian/raspbian/debian/linux takes care of those checksums before setting up packages too Could anyone please confirm checksums are calculated prior to package install?

Then apt-get check just to be sure everything is ok and apt-get autoclean

And now I wonder, why does the alternative method state...?

apt-get upgrade -y

So as to upgrade all those 68 upgradable packages (64 upgradable, 4 remain the way they are), obviously. But is there a need for that? Wouldn't running that command be a problem when a new Xbian release is out? I mean wouldn't it break any dependencies? The goal in mind is whether upgrading the less the better and wait for a new Xbian relase or... upgrade anything upgradable because that won't pose any trouble to update Xbian to a forthcoming release...

Big concern indeed!

Thank you for reading!

[namtih]

@mixpc
The command "apt-get upgrade -y" will upgrade all Debian packages, when a newer version is available. Even packages which don't have any dependencies to Xbian.
So when you also want to use other tools/features of the Pi than only Xbian, this would provide you an easy way to get an up-to-date Debian system.

When you use "apt-get install xbian-package firmware" it will only update the named package, but will of course pay attention to all needed dependencies. But for example it wouldn't update the NTFS driver, as it isn't needed for Xbian.

But for both methods you should always execute an "apt-get update" first, so that the package catalog is updated and contains the newest package versions.

By the way:
Nice to see that you made your own experiences first and just gave it a try. And of course that all went fine :-)

@Patrick
Are you already using XBian 1.0 Alpha 5?

No. I'm using some old version (I found XBian0.6.2.7z on my hard drive). I'll install fresh copy of newest xbian and update xbmc.

[Tommiiee]

Since I found no real 'help' section, I'll just post it here. Please move this post if it's supposed to be somewhere else.

Lately, my Xbian just goes to black screen while watching videos. Not immediately, but like 1,5 hours into a movie. The screen turns black, my Yatse remote indicates that the connection with Xbian was lost and I have to restart my Raspberry Pi in order to get it to work again.

I think my Pi may be getting too hot, and Koenkk recently told my I should create some file to counter the default overclock, but I can't remember his precise words. Does this problem sound familiar and can anybody help me with it?
