Have you tried increasing the timeout for the host in settings? I know for large lists 5seconds probably isn't enough, especially on the pi

I'm running OpenELEC which i think is around the same version of xbmc as raspbmc. Worth a try though i guess, there's info on that in the raspberrypi forum here

Another thing you can do is look at the log in ~/.xbmc/userdata/temp/ on the pi itself. It may give some insight as to what's wrong with the request.

is that setting in the advancedsettings.xml?

<curlclienttimeout>10</curlclienttimeout> <!-- Timeout in seconds for libcurl (http/ftp) connections -->

No, in the android app. Settings -> Manage hosts -> Socket read timeout. The default is 5000ms, i have mine at 50000ms to give it plenty of time to respond!

ha ha ha. Totally missed that setting. THANK YOU. It now doesn't timeout.
I see all artist and stuff now but having prob with playing playlists. Not sure where the prob lies so I will test some more.

Thanks again for your hard work

No probs, glad we finally worked it out

I don't use xbmc for music at all so it's more than likely there's other stuff that may still be broken in there. So, if you do come across anything just let me know the steps leading to the issue and a logcat.

Teko, i think your problem is a locale thing in that parsing the rating of tv/movies is failing as a comma is used for a decimal place in the returned value. Should be reasonably straight forward to fix.

I'll take a look at that and the playlist/now playing issue when im home from work in a few hours

i am running revision1001 is anyone having problem with the episode fanart.
all other fanart is working.

Another new build up

* Fixed parsing rating when locale uses comma for decimal
* Changed the thumbnail downloading to request the url from the server using the jsonrpc call File.PrepareDownload - this means most of the art will have to be redownloaded again (so you might want to clear the cache first). The plus side to this method is that if the server hasn't already cached the image, it will do when the app requests it; unlike the old method that generated the crc32 from the url and tried to download directly from the cache meaning if the server hadn't cached it, it wouldn't get downloaded.

I've tested the locale thing by making my phone French and have redownloaded all the artwork for my media without issue, but if anyone's still seeing problems then, as always, let me know how you caused it and post a logcat if possible.

Thanks, that seems to fix most problems.

I have updated to the above version, and as you suggested earlier extended the socket timeout and can now browse music again but every time I open a sub menu I get an exception "invalid params" and although I can view songs they will not play. I have cleared the cache and attempted to download covers again but this also fails and throws up "invalid params". Am I missing something? (raspberry pi running raspbmc alpha 5)

[Badgertronic]

Never mind! Have reinstalled and now seems to be ok. Thanks, great work!

Thanks for the new build.
Nowplaying works now when playing an artist or playing a playlist with an internet station. I still get empty nowplying when playing an playlist with just mp3's from my library. Really wierd. It's playing alright but the app just wont show anything in the NowPlaying.
Sending a log soon if u still wanna help out -
