- Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 My XBMC machine is an Acer Revo 3600, and the files are held on a wired network PC, and accessed via SMB. Before I did this install playback was virtually instant. - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 Thats pretty weird. What i would do is copy a movie to your 300gb partition and play the movie. If it plays instantly then its an issue with your network pc. Is it running windows 7 by any chance? cheers - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 It is running 7, but as I say there was no problem before. I'll try a local film and see how that goes. FYI, SD films are quicker to start than HD, and music files play almost instantly. Transfer speed when moving a file from my PC to the XBMC is 10.8 MB/Sec - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 After a quick google search it appears ubuntu lucid has a known problem accessing windows 7 shares with certain nics. Solution? A complete reinstall using ubuntu karmic mini instead of lucid. Shouldn't take you that long now you know the basics. cheers - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 I think I'm going to cry. Should I decide to go down the re-re-reinstall route, is the guide on page one adaptable to install Karmic instead? - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 yes, the only change is remove udisks and upower from the command. cheers - Flomaster - 2010-07-15 Tyler Durden Wrote:I think I'm going to cry. yeah you should be able to use the guide to install karmic just fine -=jason=- - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 Thanks for that info. Obviously, I download the Karmic mini.iso instead of the Lucid one! Is it worth adding this issue to the guide to save anyone else having the same issue as me? - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 And for the record, a fairly high bitrate MKV file played instantly when stored locally on the XBMC computer. - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 It appears that it may not be so straight forward. I have got to this part Code: sudo apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils binutils gcc upower udisks pm-utils policykit Where I used the following Code: sudo apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils binutils gcc pm-utils policykit However I get the following info: Code: The following packages have unmet dependencies. What do I do now? - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 try Quote:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa Quote:sudo apt-get update Quote:sudo apt-get install -f Quote:sudo apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils binutils gcc pm-utils policykit cheers - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 It seems as though you have done it again!! It's running through the install now, so fingers crossed. I assume when it stops I should carry on with the guide, ie the next command is Code: sudo usermod -a -G audio xbmc - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 Yes, on your windows pc, download putty. Run putty and type in your revo ip adress and your username and password, hit connect and you will be in a terminal connected to your revo via ssh and you can copy and paste the guide into the window. cheers - Tyler Durden - 2010-07-15 I have putty installed, but whenever I try to copy with ctrl C, then paste with ctrl V I just get a ^V in the terminal window. - harryzimm - 2010-07-15 just right click in the terminal, that should paste |
