xbmc minified as a server?
i just realised i can't get json requests to be accepted, any ideas why? i tried sickbeard and manually using curl commands but neither give any output on both the log nor do the action.

do you have the webserver enabled ?


<webserver>true</webserver>
<webserverpassword>******</webserverpassword>
<webserverport>8080</webserverport>
<webserverusername default="true">xbmc</webserverusername>


these are the relevant lines in my ~./xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml file. (minus my password of course)

Yep, i'm kinda confused though, what files do i need to actually have? i mean executables, in /opt/xbmc-server i have xbmc-server and xbmcVideoLibraryScan

<webserver default="true">true</webserver>
<webserverpassword default="true"></webserverpassword>
<webserverport default="true">80</webserverport>
<webserverusername default="true">xbmc</webserverusername>

run top and see if the thing is actually running or not, look for xmbc_server.bin or some variation thereof.

the only other thing i can think of is whether you have a password set or not. it may be affecting something. maybe sickbeard or whatever doesn't parse a blank password.

I'm confused, because to my eyes that looks like it is scanning files.

Yes but thats only on startup, trust me no json request is being receieved, not via curl, sickbeard or http. also i'm assuming not but should the web interface work not the json part but the whole thing.

the web interface should load.

i'd post a screenshot but i'm relatively new to linux desktop (netrunner arch) on this laptop that i don't know how to yet.

Hmm ok, how did you build it? I may try rebuilding it from my guide i wrote since others dont seem to have issues with it, unless you built it differently? it's weird i always seem to have issues following my own instructions yet others have no issues :/

Fma965 I followed your guide on Ubuntu server 14.04 32bit and it doesn't seem to stay running. There's nothing obvious in the logs so I thought it might be due to my os but after seeing your comment it may be something else.

i pieced it together from info gathered here and actually wrote a tutorial on unraid forum giving full instructions that worked for me.
I started with a complete virgin installation of ubuntu server 12.04 running as a VM and i modified the installation slightly to allow scanning bluray rips correctly.

i copied my files to /usr/local/lib too.

Hmm thanks for that, although my xbmc-server does keep running i also don't see anything in logs but if it's not doing anything surely thats normal? Well if i get it sorted i will be sure to update/fix my guide.

also i got the dependencies by using the XBMC ppa (information in the ubuntu.readme in docs folder of the git pull)

i also compiled taglib from another source than that given in the readme i mentioned above.
