I use wifi, and when i start system (archlinux), xbmc is launched faster then internet. Thus not work rss and weather, but samba work.
I think, if xbmc at start can't see network, rss and weather not work.
How this fix ?
uhm, make sure the network is around before xbmc starts?
we can't come up with a random rss and a random weather. the info is read from the internet...
some people experince this on wifi with wicd.
Most simple solution is to put a delay in the xbmc start script, a better solution is of course to have the script to wait for internet up to x sec.
You could also test if using a fixed IP will fix the problem.
I have this problem with ethernet too, if to connect a cable after xbmc, rss and weather not work, it'a a problem with xbmc. Can check up it on the computers?
No, this is not an issue with XBMC. If you do not have internet when XBMC starts, the RSS and Weather will be disabled due to the simple reason that if you do not have an internet-connection, XBMC cannot pull RSS and Weather-Information. It gets disabled so no unnecessary requests are made...
So - activate your internet-connection before you start XBMC, it is as simple as that.
How to activate rss and weather after Internet connection, but without restarting xbmc?

xbmc should update itself rss and weather when the network is up
XBMC has no way of knowing wether your network is up or down without sending requests... which is probably something noone wants.
So... either leave it as it is, use the solution posted or leave it alone. You are not even saying thanks for anything, we tried to help you but instead you just say "XBMC should..." - you know that people are trying to help? If you don't want help in the first place, why bother posting?
thanks, but i think xbmc should! I learn python to help xbmc!
I wanted to know, why xbmc it isn't able, now i know, thanks!

exactly, think so too,
i am facing this problem on every SSD HTPC I build.
See boot vid here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWocoBzHt_s
And i am using cabel, but XBMC is up so fast using XBMC live, that my already in router fixed IP for HTPC cannot be loaded that fast.
And no, i dont think its possible to do a delay (with crazy scripts) on every startup because internet is not ready. Maybe XBCM should try to get internet every second in Main Menu and if ready, all internet using skrips can be loaded then, no error message is needed.
Would be perfect.
Thanks a lot!
@
Henry..
why. One ping to google / second should be fine.
And you can do it for the first 10 seconds after boot, no need to send it all day long.
