I have installed the binaries with 'make install' and I've ensured that the paths are all set.
I tried your above but used XBMC_HOME=/root/.xbmc (as that's where the user data folder is) and the error is the same.

syslog shows the segfault as

Code:

segfault at 10 ip ####(this number changes) sp ####(as does this one) error 4 in libxbmc.so[7f10c07c0000+ebf000]

EDIT: my sources reference an NFS share and I see in syslog that these shares ARE being mounted/accessed when the program is run so it's partially working. I just won't know where it's segfaulting and why.

EDIT: gdb data if it helps at all

Code:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Ok, so it's writing to xbmc.log and it IS scanning as per the log. When it's done scanning this is that appears:

Reworked the sample application to fix the segmentation fault...

Sample XBMC Video Library Scanner CLI application

[manxam]

Hahah, you suck

Seriously though, thanks for all of your and davilla's help in getting this all setup and configured!

I still have to run the program from within the xbmc source tree though, does this make sense or should I be able to copy it to /usr/local/bin and run it from there? If so I get the error about not being able to find XBMC data.

Cheers again!

[vicbitter]

You should be able to run it from anywhere... On my system (Fedora 17 64 bit), I use the following and it works without an issue from any directory...

XBMC_BIN_HOME=/usr/local/lib/xbmc XBMC_HOME=/usr/local/share/xbmc ./xbmcVideoLibraryScan

Note: XBMC_HOME points to where some of the additional binaries, etc are and is not referring to where your configuration is...

[manxam]

New error unfortunately

Code:

LD      libxbmc.so
xbmc/xbmc.a(xbmcvideolibraryscan.o): In function `main':
/mnt/Misc/Downloads/xbmc-frodo/xbmc/../xbmcvideolibraryscan.cpp:48: multiple definition of `main'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libxbmc.so] Error 1

This is on the first 'make' after I've added the SRCS to the Makefile.

New error unfortunately

Code:

make: *** [libxbmc.so] Error 1

This is on the first 'make' after I've added the SRCS to the Makefile.

Yeah... That's why you need to do the following...

b) Compile xbmcVideoLibraryScan.cpp - This step is a bit of a kludge but it works...

Code:

i) Copy xbmcVideoLibraryScan.cpp to the top level directory of the xbmc code...
ii) Edit xbmc/Makefile and add SRCS+=..\xbmcVideoLibraryScan.cpp at the bottom
ii) Run make
iii) Edit xbmc/Makefile and remove SRCS line from ii) above
iv) Delete libxbmc.so & xbmc.a and run make again

[manxam]

That's exactly as I built it. The same as I had built the previous version.. Doing a distclean and will try again. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

[vicbitter]

Hmm... Try adding SRCS+=../xbmcVideoLibraryScan.cpp before LIB=xbmc.a rather than at the end of the Makefile...

[manxam]

EXCELLENT! Must have been a dirty tree. Compiled and run w/o issue including outside of the source tree.

Thanks again for all of your help, you've been awesome!

Cheers!

[manxam]

Just to give back a little. Here's the source code for a version that will run in the background as a server as well as ubuntu init.d script that I'm using. I've called the compiled binary xbmc-server.bin and saved it in /usr/local/lib/xbmc/ for reference.

Cheers!

[kungfudriveby]

Great work guys. I will be following this closely. I have an unraid server with mysql, connected to several xbmc clients. It would be awesome for my server to be able to update its library without using a client.

[manxam]

Kungfudriveby, it works flawlessly so there's nothing to follow. Just setup the build environment on your unraid server and have at it...

[schumi2004]

Anyone tried to get this running on for example a Synology NAS?

Should i cross-compile it myself to get a working copy or is it not yet stable enough to start with this?

[vicbitter]

It is not just as simple as cross-compiling the example... It will also require cross-compiling XBMC to generate the libxbmc.so...
