I posted my problem in the iOS sticky thread but I'm not sure if it is iOS problem or what. I'm having difficulty understanding all this

Xbmc will not load up after it was working perfectly with onlinefooty after I tried to update an add on.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi chuckles
Cheers for that but it really is far to confusing for me all that as it doesn't have nothing to do with iPad!

Your iPad runs iOS

Hi chuckles I understand it runs an iOS but there is specific thread for iPad and as it XBMC won't even load up I can't get a log report?
I really am struggling here mate

SSH into Ipad

edit .userdater/advancedsettings.xml

add this to file:
<loglevel hide="false">3</loglevel>

*make it the 2nd line so it looks something like this:
<advancedsettings>
<loglevel hide="false">3</loglevel>
<videodatabase>
.
.
.


restart xbmc (or reboot)



XBMC still probably wont start but in the temp direcotry there should be xbmc.log with stuff in it.
If there is no xbmc.log or it is a day old -I'd suggest to de/reinstall xbmc app

Hi atari600
I just did a full uninstall and reinstall but I still get the same problem.
I really dont understand what this SHH into iPad is , whit it is and what it does.
I know it will be time consuming but I really need is step by step with idiot proof instructions.
I hope you can help as this was perfect before this started happening and was using it everyday.
Would it be easier to speak by instant message on aol or msn with anyone who could help?
Fingers crossed!

I am at work - I check this place when I can (instant messaging is not an option during this time of day).

SSH - Here is a start
http://cydia.saurik.com/openssh.html

Use cydia and install OpenSSH

[groggy]

Ok mate...installed
Cheers for helping with this!
I wouldn't be able to chat on instant messenger until I get back home home early next week anyway

Ready for step 2 if you are not too busy?

[atari800]

from a terminal prompt on your computer
if Mac or linux ; ssh [email protected] <replace this with ip address of your ipad
password is alpine
*download putty.exe if you are using Windows

First look and see if xbmc.log exists
cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences
ls -la xbmc.log
If it exists, then upload it (pastebin.com) and give us the link

then next go to /var/mobile/Library/preferences/XBMC/userdata
Edit advancedsettings.xml
If it does not exist (which it problem does not) then create it
----
<advancedsettings>
<loglevel hide="false">3</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>
----

Save the file and reboot. Try to start xbmc again... this time (a new) xbmc.log will be created. Upload that to pastebin and give us the link

If you have problems using ssh (not a unix user) you can using iFile (download from Cydia) to migrate around

Good luck

Here is the log file that I have just managed to figure out how to do!

Hopefully someone may know something about this!

Ok thanks for finding the error but is there a way to fix it?

mhh guess you have messed up permissions.

ssh into the box and do

Code:

chown -R mobile:mobile /User/Library/Preferences/XBMC/
