No prob. It is my new asrock ion 330HT that is waiting for the final release and had nothing else to do.

It is working.

I guess the downside is that if I use the box for anything else than playing local media I will still want the kernal switch?

Great news, thanks for testing.

Well you'll want the switch anyway for other programs, yes. But it would not be good for us to disable ipv6 for those who might want it. I just wanted to be sure that we could fix this in xbmc core, rather than having to recommend OS hacks.

Hi... this thread is very techy in the last few pages.. so i hope you can dumb it down a little...

1) What is ipv6? And will I care if it is disabled... i only really want internet and smb access to my windows shares

2) How do I "append this to kernel boot line and see if it fixes: ipv6.disable=1" to fix this 0% download problem?

I am now using Rc1.. and still have this problem. Is there any new post rc1 fix or is disabling the ipv6 still the way to go?

mabey I am using it wrong..... i go to video then click on the addons... then go to youtube.. .and then it sits on 0%?

[spiff]

sure.

1) ask google
2) ask google

[Jyujinkai]

that is not a helpful answer.... if anyone has a proper solution to the 0% fix, please inform me

[vikjon0]

Yes, well I think you ticked him off asking what is ipv6. If you consult the rules for posting in the forum you will learn that you have to search first. It is hard to beleive anyone can fail to find an answer to that question.

If you cannot not find that on the wiki or the google, then nobody should recommend you to edit kernal parameters.
Please note that RC1 is a test version. Unexperienced users should use the stable verison.
If you read the thread you also find instructions for fixing this in advancesettings.xml

This is not good...either you have no internet connection or you copy pasted the url from the forum without consiering that it is shortened. (there should be no "....." when you run the command). You don't have to re-do the test, that information is not needed anymore. Just make sure you have internet connection.

[theuni]

For those building from source, you can add the following advancedsetting:

Code:

<network>
  <disableipv6>true</disableipv6>
</network>

This has been added since rc1, so it will not have an effect on rc1 or previous.

We'll be making this default for XBMC Live. Non-Live users that are having the problem will want to turn it on.

For those who had or still have this problem. Can you please post the result of the following:

Code:

dig a www.ripe.net

Code:

dig aaaa www.ripe.net

Code:

getent ahosts www.ripe.net

Code:

ping www.ripe.net -c 3

Code:

ping6 www.ripe.net -c 3

from your xbmc box? I'm trying to find the root cause of this problem, it is not linux/ubuntu. You can sent results using PM.
