Newbie HELP?!-Problem-XMBC, Worked, NOW loads for 5 sec. then goes into reboot?
#1
Hi everyone,

I am looking forward to becoming and XBMC power user, but I am currently a Newbie, so please give me some slack? LOL, enough said.

I have used Apple TV, and XBMC for about 1 1/2 years. It has worked fine. I was changing some simple things, skins, stuff like that, basically learning the menus an surfing. And then....it happened!

The next time I went to use XBMC, it now loads just fine menu is there for about 5-7 seconds, and then it goes into a reboot cycle. It will cycle back to the MAIN menu, where I select XBMC and it loads, looks fine, and then goes into another reboot to the main menu again. I have read articles about installing over the existing one to remove any bugs or issues, but I cannot even get to the system menu. Working fast, I can actually Load XBMC, get to the system, settings screen - add (something), select <none> and then it reboots. Of course it does this as well, if I do nothing but select XBMC, wait 5-7 seconds. and then it cycles to the main menu.

This is SO frustrating, so any help is appreciated. I am lost at this point. Can anyone help me....please?!!

Thanks in advance!
Mark

First suggestion: Lose the pale green font when posting. It may be cute, but your text may be illegible against the blue background for those with color-blindness and, for the rest, it is annoying. I took care of it for you. Smile

TOSHIBA1,

I am going to try this tomorrow, however, the one thing that is a constant, and just want to remind you is that it has worked fine for 1 1/2 yrs. prior to this? Don't know if that matters with this suggestion, but figured I would mention it.

I'll let the thread know how I make out, thanks again!

Mark

There have been a couple of issues over the last couple of months, a few people have reported similar problems.

Try this first: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1095584

Then if all else fails: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1480907

If you are on an older version of iOS (< 4.3) you'll also need to install a build from Oct 26 onwards.

Let us know how you get on.
