After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 today I wasn't able to connect to my FTP library any longer. This worked just fine right before upgrading. The issue seems to be issuing PASV when connecting to the FTP server.

I'm currently using XBMC 13.0-ALPHA9 Git:201310211445-1ae

What I've tried so far is:
Earlier version of XBMC (12.0), no difference.
Connecting over FTP with another client than XBMC. Works fine, see log below.
Appended ?active to the FTP path. Gets me in to the FTP server and lists the files, but unable to play anything since it reverts back to passive mode.

Hi all and Hails from Iceland.

Same problem here in Fedora 19 x64, running Frodo 12.2, all other FTP programs run just fine.

Code:

Don't have the server logs as it's a remote one.

Hi, any solution for this?
I have the same problem.
Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop XBMC 12.2 and tried XBMC 12.3 wont connect to my FTP server.
Using other FTP client, everything works just fine.

13.10 is currently on Ubuntu download and I regret I installed it, but it is too late now.

[Saner]

ignore me, I misread and have no permission to delete

Hi, any solution for this?

Unfortunately it's still the same for me. There is seems to be no problem with any other FTP client than XBMC on Ubuntu 13.10, everything I've tried points to some clash between the latest Ubuntu version and XBMC.

Hopefully someone with more in-depth knowledge on the issue can come up with something more.

I have the same problem with ubuntu 13.10 and XBMC 12.2

#WARNING: FillBuffer: curl failed with code 28

Hi,

seems that xbmc can't handle the newer libcurl3-gnutls properly. Mine was v7.32. Ditched it and installed 7.29 instead. You have to pin it afterwards to prevent it from updating. But be aware that this is a crucial library and you will have to reinstall your desktop, libre office, etc.

Have fun

13.0-ALPHA9 Git:201310211445-1ae <-- I'd also repeat the advice given to me, look at upgrading your XBMC build.

(I'm on 2:13.0~git20131228.0500-dd9ad18-0raring)

you need a xbmc version that was compiled against it, so upgrade xbmc as was already advised.

Here is how to fix

Download this file here to your ~/Downlaods: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/137271377/..._amd64.deb

Open terminal, run these commands

Code:

sudo dpkg -P --force-all libcurl3-gnutls
sudo dpkg -i '~/Downloads/libcurl3-gnutls_7.29.0-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb'

This will not require you to reinstall all the other packages that depend on libcurl3-gnutls.

Open Synaptic Package Manger
Search for libcurl3-gnutls
Highlight libcurl3-gnutls
In the menu bar, click Package->Lock Version



Then run this in terminal.

Code:

echo "libcurl3-gnutls hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Working with 12.3 Frodo on a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 install.

blindmist's solution confirmed. Thanks!
