latest build does not work or me, running a tmobile g1.
i get unknown i/o exception. http://[email protected]:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetSystemInfo(120)
previously installed build 5.9 and that worked fine

welly_59,
Do you get that error permanently? Does the URL you pasted work in the browser (on your PC or on your G1)?
- welly_59 - 2009-11-04
have got it working now. uninstalled then reinstalled and it works fine
i do get loads of socket timeout errors though, and always have with this software. am currently trying to update my music library on my handset and it errors out on updatin due to socket timeouts. i have added a couple of zeros to the timeout settings but still get it quite a bit

Do socket timeout errors occur WHILE you are using the remote, or after you paused using a it for a while?

I can confirm I AM having these timeouts WHILE using the remote.
- freezy - 2009-11-04
Okay, that's bad. Can you paste a debug log?

freezy Wrote:Thanks. Album thumbs ARE cached. Actually there's a two-way-cache, they are cached on the SD card once downloaded, and then again cached in memory when scrolling. You'll have to download them once obviously. Are you sure it's the same covers re-downloading? In that case that would be a major bug.
About disconnecting: I had that a few times when not using the remote for a while. Need to take a look at it, good that you mention it, can you open a ticket?
How many albums are we talking about anyway?
An older version of XBMC Remote did download and save the Album thumbs but the current release doesn't load any Album covers at all. All I get is the red icon. I think 0.5.8 or 0.5.9 were the last versions to download the album covers.

ccMatrix: No problems with loading covers with the latest build from SVN. Did you mount your sd card in android?
- ccMatrix - 2009-11-04
My SD card is always mounted. I had the old xbmc folder on the card and then it loaded some covers from it. I now moved the xbmc to xbmc.old and restarted XBMC Remote. It creates a new xbmc folder and does seem to load very very few album covers (like 1 in 10). I can't see what is special/different about the few albums it does load.
I've enabled debug logging in XBMC and there are several requests that look like this:
Code:
17:12:36 T:1584 M:4294967295 DEBUG: HttpApi Start command: FileDownload paras: FileDownload; special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Music/0/00000000.tbn

17:12:36 T:4424 M:4294967295 DEBUG: webs: accept requestThe ffffffff and 00000000 stuff seems very wrong.
- freezy - 2009-11-04
Okay clearly those 0xffff and 0x0000 values are wrong, but I don't think that's the issue. It's easy to check if XBMC returns any thumb info. Open any browser and type:
Code:
http://xbmc:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=QueryMusicDatabase(SELECT strThumb FROM albumview WHERE albumview.strAlbum <> '' ORDER BY upper(strAlbum), strAlbum)Where "xbmc" is the IP of your XBMC box obviously. If you get more than your "1 out of 10" thumbs there, it's a problem on our side. Can you verify?
- ccMatrix - 2009-11-04
Here is the entire response for this command: http://pastebin.com/m76f88e33
Looks like there are 13 albums without cover (NONE) but all others have correct paths stored in the DB.
- freezy - 2009-11-04
There goes the daily build:
Fixed: Sliding tabs now work with DPAD.
Fixed: Glitches in sliding tabs where you could move the background images without actually switching tabs
Fixed: Unnecessary cover downloads on empty thumb ID
Fixed: Too long title in "Now playing" doesn't overlap anymore.
Download v0.5.13
ccMatrix: Try this one, there's a risk that it will work
- ccMatrix - 2009-11-04
I've updated to 0.5.13 but I still have the same problem. I also uninstalled the app and reinstalled wiping all settings and hopefully caches. But again the app (after reinstallig and setting the ip/ports again) doesn't load all the thumbnails.
In the debug log of XBMC I still see a lot of requests to 0/00000000.tbn

while using. they happen when trying to connect to the xbmc server, while retrieving video/songlists etc.
- freezy - 2009-11-04
Which XBMC revision are you using? It's pretty weird since what I'm getting from XBMC on Windows and Linux are masterprofile:// links, not the physical ones you're getting.
