You've tried the manual?

Same problem new install. I am getting great network transfer speeds both to the internal network as well as some external site's. Seems like more than a coincidence that we all had our networks fall apart. I am running beta 4 on a freshly formatted machine loaded with mythbuntu 10.10.
Will check logs when I get home but if curl is failing and my network is fine, any other suggestions.

I am testing b4 now. Cant do much on the network.
Cant download add-ons => 0%
If selecting windows netw => times out after 0.1s
If adding network location => I can see the shares but no content.

You've tried the manual?

Well, unlike most of the other linux noobs I troubleshoot erp system for a living...and with some effort I cunclude the manual says "make the small numbers bigger"?

<network>
<autodetectpingtime>30</autodetectpingtime> <!-- Length in seconds between pinging the network to detect new xbox's -->
<curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout> <!-- Timeout in seconds for libcurl (http/ftp) connections -->
<curllowspeedtime>5</curllowspeedtime> <!-- Time in seconds for libcurl to consider a connection lowspeed -->
<httpproxyusername></httpproxyusername> <!-- username for Basic Proxy Authentication -->
<httpproxypassword></httpproxypassword> <!-- password for Basic Proxy Authentication -->
</network>

Sure. I will do that. Just wanted to mentioned that it worked fine in b2.
Anyone for a debug log instead?

[vikjon0]

Ok, increase the curl timeout make the add-on install.

I have this same problem.... installing addons just sits at 0%..

What permissions do i need to set on what dir?

[vikjon0]

EDIT: no sudo..
nano ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

insrt

<network>
<autodetectpingtime>30</autodetectpingtime> <!-- Length in seconds between pinging the network to detect new xbox's -->
<curlclienttimeout>40</curlclienttimeout> <!-- Timeout in seconds for libcurl (http/ftp) connections -->
<curllowspeedtime>40</curllowspeedtime> <!-- Time in seconds for libcurl to consider a connection lowspeed -->
<httpproxyusername></httpproxyusername> <!-- username for Basic Proxy Authentication -->
<httpproxypassword></httpproxypassword> <!-- password for Basic Proxy Authentication -->
</network>

before

</advancedsettings>

Not sure if
<curllowspeedtime>
needs needs to be 40 or should remain 5

don't sudo editing files in your home dir! that's silly at best and will only lead to trouble.

[vikjon0]

yeah, thats right. Thanks.
Too used to putting sudo to everything.

I have edited the post,

Didn't read the whole thread but I installed xbmc on my mythbuntu install and could not download addons. Had curl errors in the log files, did an apt get install curl everything works now. I am sure this has been checked but thought I would say it just in case. Curl should be a dependancy when you install xbmc I think.

how do you get a terminal open in xbmclive?

[luger]

I decided to go back and give Dharma another shot today and this problem still remains for me so it looks like I'm going to stick with my old Camelot build for good. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know exactly where the problem originates but all I know is that I can download the things I need in Camelot at least.

[vikjon0]

OK, if you have trouble editing this file you should perhaps not use a beta (test) version.
You can stay on camelot for good OR you can try Dahrma when the stable version is finally released.

I understand this is confusing since often the first advice is to upgrade to latest version. However, we should not forget that beta is beta and svn is svn.
We should avoid regarding latest stable as too old.

You can get to terminal by exiting xbmc or better install putty on another computer and connect with SSH.

[luger]

Understood. I haven't tried editing the advancedsettings.xml. For some reason, I didn't see this page when I wrote my last comment. I'll give that a go tonight and see if that fixes anything for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

[luger]

Bravo, sir! That did it. Thanks so much. That ends a lot of frustration for me.
