I don't know much about it as I'm an xbox XBMC user, but I'm sure that another forum member will put you right if you are struggling.

exobuzz Wrote:you need the other files it mentions as dependencies from my site also. However I can't really give instructions on how to build a new live cd with them. Perhaps someone else has done this. Maybe some vlues here http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_build_XBMC_Live_ISO_image

hmm doesn't seem reliable for me now on the xbox.
it starts loading up to "Selecting subtitles" (and sits there for a long time, maybe 10 seconds)
then quickly shows "Playing",
then the playing time box appears at stays at 00:00:00
then nothing happens. like a hang (but xbox not actually hung)
pressing STOP weirdly causes a few seconds of audio to play before dropping back to the menu!

where's the debug output gone? i wanted to check free memory but using your build, i see only the screenshot folder option under debugging.

using xTV skin and exobuzz's May 4th rtmp build
i have reset plugin settings to defaults, didn't help.

Akamai seems better than Limelight (Limelight just errors out and doesn't even load to the start of stream).

edit: problem seems to be just that its paused at the start of the stream and not unpausing. basically you just have to press Play manually. (going fullscreen shows the stream is loaded!). weird because this was never necessary before, it'd just start playing when you selected a programme.
buffering is also very slow not sure if that's my network though. i also confirm the blurry strip along bottom, but this isn't important. so is there some setting that could prevent automatic play or cause it to not unpause? never had this problem before! sorry.

so (lots of points sorry!)

1) why do i have to press play after loading a stream?
2) why does "selecting subtitles" appear to take ages, when subtitles is set to "none"
3) why is buffering so very slow today (just me?!) possibly related to above
4) old issue: why can i not access plugin settings from the stream right click menu, but have to go up a level.
5) there's a blurry strip along the bottom (but who really cares if it works)
6) why do limelight streams not work (are all streams on both services?)

exobuzz Wrote:New release up @ http://aero.exotica.org.uk/~jools/xbmc/

check the readme for more details. this is a temporary location as the server the stuff was on before has some hardware problems right now.

I've been watching the great british menu tonight and buffering was very fast, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I was using the akamai network. I could take a look at your logs and see if anything shows up perhaps if you like.

Please try the new build. Uses less ram and h264 decoding should be noticeably faster.

Also, since the xbox sections of the forum are being closed off, perhaps it would be better for us xboxs tocontinue discussion on http://www.xbmc4xbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=161&p=2092#p2092

xbox code is now at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc4xbox/develop

exobuzz Wrote:You could try and build in the linux patches. However, v.soon the stuff will get into trunk for windows I think. I don't really have the time to work on the windows version I am afraid.
