Can you try downloading this slightly modified version and upload a new log.

Did so... it died in the same spot but without the "ERROR: Socket closed prematurely - exiting" line... however I did get the following in the window...

Code:

root@xbian /home/xbian # ./texturecache.py j "Big Hero 6"
FATAL: The task you wish to perform requires that the JSON-RPC server is
       enabled and running on the XBMC system you wish to connect.

       In addtion, ensure that the following options are ENABLED on the
       XBMC client in Settings -> Services -> Remote control:

            Allow programs on this system to control XBMC
            Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC

       A connection cannot be established to the following JSON-RPC server:
       localhost:9999

       Check settings in properties file texturecache.cfg
root@xbian /home/xbian #

I have the following in my advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<jsonrpc>
    <compactoutput>false</compactoutput>
    <tcpport>9999</tcpport>
  </jsonrpc>

and the following in my texturecache.cfg

Code:

rpc.port = 9999

Here is the output from netstat -nap | grep 9999:

Code:

netstat: /proc/net/tcp6: No such file or directory
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9999          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      257/splash-daemon
netstat: /proc/net/udp6: No such file or directory
netstat: /proc/net/raw6: No such file or directory

Thank you very much for looking into this...
