Ok mate .
Im probably best leaving this then as will probably mess my ipad up. i cant understand why when i have fully uninstalled then reinstalled it still doesnt work.

[Memphiz]

because a uninstall only removes the app not the settings ... something is messed up and you won't get it right without connecting to it via ssh.

ok i put my ipads IP adress in host name in putty and the black box comes up
then i put ssh root@(my ip) and then it asks for password , i tried alpine like it was posted earlier in the thread but it doesnt work,nothing types out?

Just put 'root', not '@(my ip)'

So when the black box comes up, type root and press enter
then type 'alpine'

If it doesn't work, then stick with the stable release.

excellent. i think were getting somwhere!
now it says:

pauls-ipad:~ root #


what next? i copied and pasted this :

chown -R mobile:mobile /User/Library/Preferences/XBMC/

but nothing happend

[Memphiz]

you hit enter after pasting this ... then it gets back to the prompt. if no error messags appeared this means that it worked .

If this still didn't help trythe other suggestions about deleting the db...

[groggy]

ahh ok never got a error message so i will try xmbc again now!
fingers crossed!

[groggy]

no , still get the black screen then back to my apps screen

is that it above?

[JWindebank]

I would uninstall the application and delete all of the data and then reinstall XBMC to let it build up from scratch.

First uninstall. Then run the following on your iPad in Putty:

Code:

rm -f /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

Then reinstall the app and see how it goes. Good luck.
