VM Ware and ESXI are good alternatives I haven't tried yet, thanks for the suggestions. That's what I'll try next.
Manxam, I never installed ESXi before, anything I should be aware before I make everything "not work"?

I'm pretty sure the problem with XBMC not working in RDC or other remote connection apps has to do with XBMC running in true full screen mode. You can edit one of the settings files to have it run in a fake full screen mode or windowed full screen mode. That's how I got it to work for me when I RDC into my server. Before I made that change I would just get an error or a black screen.

I could never get the standard opengl version of xbmc to run in esx or in a virtualbox environment fullscreen or not. You are correct though that one must run windowed if you want to see the GUI in an rdp or vnc session.

My last usage a couple weeks ago before switching back to the headless Linux version was in a "tiny XP" environment running xbmc rc2 dsplayer build windowed. Editing esxi's vmdk setting for the guest to enable the in-built vnc server performed better than tightvnc server and was one less service running on the guest.

Good luck!

I gave up a long time ago trying to get my home server to run truly headless and without being logged in.

I set it to auto log in on startup - then just lock after a few minutes of inactivity for security if anyone comes into my house and plugs in a monitor, keyboard and mouse... I used to use RDP, but now use TeamViewer exclusively so that I can just connect to the "console" session.

With WHS v1, I had to make sure that the hardware acceleration on the graphics card was set to full (by default it was set to low) - this then allowed XBMC to run.


So - I've got my server running MySQL, and a copy of XBMC all the time. This is set to perform regular scans for new media, as well as being notified by apps such as Sickbeard of new items.

I've reduced CPU usage by ensuring I leave it on a "static" screen (ie the main menu on the "Settings" option), disabling the RSS feed, and ensuring that dirty regions are enabled, and setting the "blank screen" screensaver to come on after a couple of minutes.

Bogi, you telling me that it would run in windowed mode?
What's the best file to alter for that to happens?

I am having issues installing VM Ware altogether. Maybe I need to upgrade the file server machine!!!! but CTA's and Bogi's comments seems to go in the good direction too. I don't care if it is a pure headless service or if its a windowed, minimized XBMC. As long as I can run it.

It is encouraging to see not only that others see benefit of having XBMC directly on the server, but also that there is some level of success doing it.
Thanks a lot!

I've forced XBMC to run windowed - I tried 320x200 & 640x480 - and I've added the lines about dirty regions, but it still fails like before (only I see a small window instead of the whole blank before it crashes...)

Here's my current advanced settings, let me know if I goofed.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
    <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>

<videodatabase>
   <type>mysql</type>
   <host>192.168.3.3</host>

   <pass>3333</pass>
</videodatabase>
<musicdatabase>
   <type>mysql</type>
   <host>192.168.3.3</host>
   <port>3333</port>
   <user>3333</user>

</musicdatabase>

   <screenmode>WINDOW</screenmode>

   <nofliptimeout>1000</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
<window><width>320</width><height>200</height></window>
<alwaysontop>no</alwaysontop>
</advancedsettings>

it results in a crash that produces this log

The main thing I found that stopped me running XBMC on my Windows Home Server box was that the hardware acceleration on the graphics card wasn't set high enough.

Once I'd done that, I could fire up XBMC - and you can then press the \ button to get it out of full-screen mode and as a window.

Image

This just auto logs in whenever the machine starts, and XBMC is just in the Startup menu.
Your desktop is running at 1280x1024 16bit 42Hz - that's a very odd combination!

Are you running via RDP, or via something like VNC or TeamViewer?

I don't have a monitor attached to that computer. At all. So I am running purely remotely. Right now RDP, and can't change the graphics settings. Not even access to "advanced" graphics settings. I have only 1 choice of resolution, and am stuck at 16 bits, even if I log it remotely with 32-bits capacity in remote desktop.

I'll re-try VNC & TeamViewer to see if I can manage to change the graphics settings, I am assuming the graphics lock is caused by RDC somehow. The Video on that machine is NVidia GeForce2 MX400. There was issues with the audio drivers, but I just reinstalled AC97 with no changes.

I would imagine that it's RDP causing the issue.

Get TeamViewer installed (with the options to allow you to use it at the login screen), and you'll be able to get it working better. I don't have a monitor physically attached to my machine, either Smile

Once you're out of RDP and into "proper" desktop mode, you should hopefully have more luck with both video and audio settings Smile

Changed the MX400 driver - was using some microsoft drivers, now am under the genuine NVidia drivers. No difference. Can't access the resolution while under remote connection. I'll try with something else than RDC and see where it goes.

(Thanks ConfusedTA, I'll work out TeamViewer. But that'll have to wait, off to work I go.)

Thanks to teamviewer, I could manage to get a more appropriate screen resolution. But it still won't run XBMC on the server...

I tried various combination of content for the advancedsettings.xml and even to remove it completely. Nothing worked. Maybe the video card is just not capable of running XBMC? What do we do then??

Marsupial, what are you running this under? ESXi or is this just a headless box?

Also, enable debug logging in advancedsettings.xml so that we can get more information in the log.
Code:
<loglevel hide="false">3</loglevel>

As stated before I could NOT get the opengl version (regular build) to run on my headless box no matter the setting. Switching to a DSPlayer build fixed that right up. I posted the link a couple of posts back. What's the harm in trying?

Manxam, I must have missed the part about a DSPlayer build, sounds like what I should be trying next. I am currently running directly in the main OS of the headless box.

Thanks for the code to get extra logs. I figured there should be more than what I had!
Here's the supplemental log I get with loglevel 3 - not quite sure what to look for yet. it seems there's not much more for me to look into. What's that irss at the last line?

installed DSPlayer / eden version. Now I go as far as seeing the XBMC logo, but it still crash.

When I saw the XBMC logo I tought we had it. But it still crash. The log doesn't seem to give much more.

What should I put in renderersettings.xml?

Code:

Just a thought... your graphics card is a GeForce 2 MX - this is a DirectX 7 card - I have a feeling that XBMC may require a newer graphics card...?

In the wiki it states that GeForce 6 series and newer supported.

Do you have a newer graphics card that you can put in as a test? You can pick up a graphics card in the 6 series or newer for very little money.
