Because it has a bug that ruins the experience.

What's the bug?

@pumpkinut
It was this one and this one.

@all
There's no Wake-on-Lan addon it seems - not for the ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba I am running currently.
Is it in the pipeline or was it dropped?
Is there any way to wake up the NAS when I turn on the media player?

Thank you.

Try downloading one of the XBMCfreak ISOs and make a live install with it via Lili or unetbootin. You can run XBMC that way and you get an Audio Engine aka Pre-Frodo build. You can see if that fixes your issues. If it does, you can either use the wsnipex repository to update to a new nightly build, or you can compile your own. Compilation sounds more difficult than it actually is.

Here's a short Howto:

Code:

@pumkinut
The one I have right now (minimal 12.04 x86 ISO+wsnipex PPA+nvidia 302.11 driver) seems to be working so far without issues.
So, for now, I'll stick with it.
I'll stash this info however for future reference.
Thank you!

Thanks, checking.

I have managed to get a working solution where the server/NAS is woken only when playback of a file on the server is requested (or if you 'update library'). No source code changes or compiling needed.

Perfect.

[uomiarz]

thx for tips

I try to compile for last 2-3 days.
Everything goes fine but my builds does not produce xbmc.bin to run.
I do all regular steps to compile from git source.
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --disable-crystalhd --enable-vaapi
But after make -j2 (no errors) i have no xbmc.bin to run and/or install

What am I missing?
thx

[wsnipex]

there must be an error in your compile. run make (no -j2) and check the output.

[uomiarz]

Thx wsnipex , I found it following your advice.
Problem is with taglib library.
I could not get ./configure to run correctly (complains about taglib) so I download taglib1.8 from here http://taglib.github.com/ compile and install it.
Configure script stop complaining but thats where make stops.

Code:

/home/mp/xbmc/xbmc/music/tags/TagLoaderTagLib.cpp:126: undefined reference to `TagLib::Ogg::FLAC::File::File(TagLib::IOStream*, bool, TagLib::AudioProperties::ReadStyle)'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xbmc.bin] Error 1

Any advice on how to solve this taglib issue?
thx

OK , I got it RTFM
from README.ubuntu (reading README.linux is not good enough)

Code:

We currently need a version of taglib that has not been packaged yet. We supply a Makefile in
lib/taglib to make it easy to install into /usr/local until it is available in apt.

   # make -C lib/taglib
   # sudo make -C lib/taglib install

Unless you are proficient with how linux libraries and versions work, do not
try to provide it yourself.

Will report back when it works.

[uomiarz]

Taglib issue is solved. In addition to compiling it from XBMC supplied Makefile I had to remove all other instances of taglib previousy installed by the system.
Comilation still did not go through because of some mesa libraries that were not linked correctly.
This required reinstallation of mesa libs.
Finally XBMC compiled !
Reinstallation of mesa libs brakes nvidia driver installation so that needed to be reinstalled also.

Finally I am happy user of best media center.
And my HD DD/DTS leds show up on the receiver
Not that I can hear any difference but it just puts smile on my face
Multichannel FLACs play flawlessly.
Thx for support !
