i'm going to hazard a quess that it doesn't like running on port 80. which as i recall in your original setup it was set to do.

Glad you managed to finally get it working mate was it libtag1? Did you have a chance to test Ubuntu server?

I tried an install in ubuntu server 14.04 and couldn't make it fly. It compiles ok but just doesn't stay running, it throws up a segmentation fault.

hmm, i guess next would be a 14.04 minimal/desktop install and see if it does the same... which i believe it will.

i'm suspecting that it's either something called gconftool, dbus or the jre headless dependencies that are causing the problem. with my initial install of dependencies there were errors in their installation, the gconftool error was something about not finding an x11 window. but my linux skills fall short and this is only a suspicion.

Ahh so I guess either Ubuntu server or 14.04 is not compatible. Did you check Dmesg for any errors?

RE: xbmc minified as a server? - XBL. - 2014-05-11

Hey guys,

I just successfully build a Gotham version of xbmc-server. I've mostly used fma965's instructions, with some changes:

- libtag wouldn't work properly, so I compiled my own as per these instructions: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=132919&pid=1205950#pid1205950

- After doing the same thing as sparklyballs (removing the default="" things in guisettings.xml for the webserver config) it's now also running fine and accepting json requests.

I noticed an important difference with the previous version that xbmc.log is showing less. Before I used to be able to see exactly which path xbmc was scanning and which plugins it loaded. Right now I don't see that info. It doesn't appear to be a setting for the default debug levels, but I really hope to somehow use it again.

My system is an Ubuntu Server 12.04 install. It's an old system so it has a bunch of unused crap on it, which probably caused the libtag issue.

My bad, you're right.

It's weird though, the previous version didn't require me to set the loglevel in advancedsettings.xml (I simply copied the old advancedsettings.xml, so I'm sure about that), this is why I assumed that it was something "extra" xbmc-server did. Oh well, doesn't really matter... it's working beautifully again Smile.
