Hello,


Fresh factory, update to 3.0.2, aTV Flash current. Broadcom (Crystal) and XBMC installed. Smart installer run.


In XBMC, the RSS feeds do not scroll. Weather updates the skin (temp shows, etc.) but selecting the weather menu item shows "internet connection required". Internet works fine, scrapers work fine, add-on install works, but RSS/Weather item do not.

works fine on weather update. but when selecting the item, I don't see it try to grab the weather, just the fail message on the screen.

I have tried with and without ATVFlash (just general patchstick). I also found a thread that it was IPv6 related, so disabled IPv6 on the network as well as tried the settings in advancedsettings.xml with no luck. (My IPv6 connectivity if correct also.)


Any ideas?

At a weird request from firecore support, I installed HotspotShield. Enabled, and started XBMC. RSS scrolls fine and Weather works.

Stopped XBMC, Stopped HotspotShield, Started XBMC, no RSS, weather broken again.

Stopped XBMC, Started HotspotShield, Started XBMC, RSS and Weather work again.

Killed HotspotShield from the cmdline and RSS and weather continue to work.

So the problem seems to be somewhere in the initiallization portion of XBMC that is interpreting differently based on what HSS is doing while it's running.

A little more info. The bug appears with ATV 3.0.2 patched with generic patchstick method, ATV 3.0.2 patched with ATVFlash, and as a test, I loaded Ubuntu (Hardy) and it occurs. A lot of the chatter I could find pointed it to an IPv6 problem but that does not seem to be the case. I disabled IPv6 at the kernel level in linux and it still occurs, so I think that's the wrong answer.

What I find odd is that while the XBMC log shows that it didn't get any data, the cmdline will using curl, wget or whatever.

Also, seems to be in the startup of XBMC as well because of killing the HSS service after XBMC is started, it will continue to run fine.

I am also having the exact same problem.

I have not (yet) tried installing HotspotShield.
