Generic-i386-devel-xx-r9587

Dear OpenELEC

With the release:

OpenELEC-ION.x86_64-devel-20120122010258-r9607.tar.bz2
OpenELEC-ION.x86_64-devel-20120122172128-r9616.tar.bz2

"Sometimes" I got no sound, I mean just about 50% of the boot comes with the sound, otherwise as I play a file I got the Message: "Error initializing the sound device, check sound configuration". Changing the sound configuration is useless... I have to reboot.

Then I downgraded to r9469 and the problem disappear. With the previous release i've never had that problem

My sound goes on the SPDIF.

Ciao.
Davide.

I'm running:

OpenELEC_EDEN Version: devel-20110924175742-r8317
OpenELEC_EDEN git: 955afeb

since update, smbd doesn't start automatically, so I have to do it via ssh.

modprobe seems to ignore entries in /etc/modprobe.d
blacklist.conf in /storage/.config/modprobe.d has no effect.
Have I missed something?
Or is this behavior related to the switch from busybox to kmod-3/4?

problem:
OpenELEC OS Settings Dialog even if fully translated shows some strings in english because of hardcoding them in settings.xml.

solution:
please use lvalue for:
0. <setting id="UPDATE_AUTO" type="labelenum" label="2021" values="no|manual|auto" sort="yes" default="manual" />

please make possible to translate: none, NONE

1. <setting id="LCD_DRIVER" type="labelenum" label="2051" values="none|irtrans|imon|imonlcd|mdm166a" sort="yes" default="none" />
2. <setting id="NET_SECURITY" type="labelenum" label="2153" values="NONE|WPA/WPA2|WEP" sort="yes" default="NONE" enable="!eq(-1,)"/>
3. <setting id="NET2_NETWORK" type="labelenum" label="2121" values="NONE|LAN|WLAN" sort="yes" default="NONE" />

Up to around christmas module lirc-serial was inlcuded in every nightly build of Openelec-eden and I was perfectly fine with the Workaround we found in the Forum (see the link below).

I tried to find the setting in the sources, but without succes...

Would it be possible to reenable the module lirc_serial for future builds?

Hi,
Installed latest 20111119 PVR build by Gujs. Everything worked fine but it downloaded latest sabnzbd suite and this one stopped working. Communication between sabnzb and sickbeard worked fine but after each download sabnzbd was unable to execute sabToSickBeard.py script. Permissions were fine. That seems to happen because script begins with #!/usr/bin/env python . I replaced it in all scripts (not only sabToSickBeard.py) with #!/usr/bin/python and now it seems to works again.

The Transmission Daemon doesnt load under appletv. Unable to access the front end, even after setting the allowed ips to a wildcard *

It is currently:

It needs to be

Otherwise bash won't expand it and delete the build folder.

The inclusion of HTS Tvheadend is great...and may solve some of my home entertainment woes. However, I'd like to use some HDHomeRun network DVB tuners. Are you considering including the drivers and/or any other configuration we'd need to make their use as smooth as the rest of OpenELEC?

Love the software...can't wait to see what else you add in the future...thanks.

Current master version seems to be corrupting file systems. If installed on USB, Storage partition gets corrupted if system freezes. Also NTFS removable disk.

I would like to request that drivers be included in the standard openelec install (or instructions for a relevant add-on) to be able to use a Engenius EUB-9603H Wifi Dongle.

Hello,

new motherboards with ACPI 5.0 do not suspend properly.

I can confirm that openelec 1.0.2 has that problem on a Asus p8h67-m pro;

"ACPI Error: [RAMB] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20110112/psargs-359)"

There is a kernel patch to resolve the issue and i'm wondering if you can integrate it in a later version of openelec;

I suspect that I'm having some problems with Sick Beard, and I had hope some newer revisions would solve this.

Hi,
i just did a fresh checkout and tried to build ION x86_64:

git clone https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv.git
cd OpenELEC.tv

Then after some time I got the following error:

I'm now trying a second build and it seems to work, but the initial error should be fixed imo.

the TBs 6981 has missing / not Working driver.

In my case I am trying to make add-on and I need some patches to patch. I put patch files to patches directory. Also I need to use unpack file because archive file is well. On unpack file I extract and move directories to proper place on build directory. But if I use unpack file patches not applying. I guess because on script/unpack use unpack file line after apply patches line. No idea what happened if I change lines on script/unpack. I avoid this with using extract and move for "rename" file. Because rename file trigger before then apply patches line.

Just I want to share what I found and bother me while I am making my add-on. You can check what I mean from code:

The tvheadend Service Addon is broken in OpeneELEC Repository

commit:
33b4515

ssh clients with openssl version 1.0.0x cannot communicate with openelec ssh server since openssl was updated to 1.0.0x as shown in above commit link

ssh log:
http://pastebin.com/Y1yLKhgL

The issue affects in my case following build:
OpenELEC_PVR-Intel.x86_64-devel-20111219194103-r9301

I'm not sure if it does affect more builds. I've just got some information that this problem still exists with newer builds.

In my case I want to change the default keymap "us" to "de".
I've also changed the second keymap from "us" to "de".

After restarting the system I still hadn't the "de" layout although it's set up properly in the OpenELEC OS Settings.

I hope it's enough information for recognizing the problem.

Kind regards,

Since R9365 suspend/resume does not work on Fusion computers anymore. Seems to be a (linux) kernel/driver issue.
See
http://openelec.tv/forum/28-issue-reports/20916

When suspending, computer tries so suspend, but hangs with a black screen and does not switch-off.
Only a hard reset or power supply switch off will reboot it. No info in logfiles.

So newer builds cannot be used when you rely on USB remote controls as we need suspend/resume to operate it with remote.

In release 0.99.3 the script "create_installstick.sh" contains these lines (starting at line 59):

check MD5 sums

echo "checking MD5 sum..."
md5sum -c target/KERNEL.md5
MD5_ERROR="$?"
md5sum -c target/SYSTEM.md5
MD5_ERROR="$?"

if [ "$MD5_ERROR" = "1" ]; then
echo "something bad happened"; exit 1

The problem is, that the second md5sum run can (and will) overwrite the var MD5_ERROR,
so in fact the first run gets ignored.

Hey,

running scripts/get to download all packages before compiling I found out that megaglest-data location has changed.

I solved the problem by changing the file packages/addons/games/megaglest-data/meta:

PKG_URL="$SOURCEFORGE_SRC/megaglest/files/current_release/$PKG_NAME-$PKG_VERSION.7z"

->

PKG_URL="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/megaglest/archived/megaglest_3.3.7.2/megaglest-data-3.3.7.2.7z"

I could not figure out easily on how to use the variables and still make the download work ok...

I would like to request that drivers & firmware be included in the standard openelec install (or instructions for a relevant add-on) to be able to use a Pinnacle 800e USB TV Stick. The current version of the kernel (from daily builds from the end of december) do not seem to support the device.

For some DVB cards on cx23885 chip (TeVii S470 for ex.) file dvb-fe-ds3000.fw needed in /lib/firmware (/lib64/firmware for x86_64 OSes).

I've been running the latest builds and had good success on both my ION 64bit and a Generic I386 build. I compiled the latest build last night and ran into an issue where it would get stuck on boot. Basically for both versions, I could SSH into the box and view the logs, and see things were running, but XBMC was not running, neither did X appear to be running. I moved back to an earlier build and the problem was gone. If necessary I can grab some logs.

Please make sure that permission of the file create_installstick get set properly during the installer build process.

Changes should go to scripts/image

I ran into the problem that the file "create_installstick" was not executable in the current 1.0.1 release.

Description: Installation or booting of OpenELEC failed because of not-supported SiS-chipset on mainboard. My Hardware is a FSC Eprimo E5600 Desktop PC with a GT210 graphics card.

Bug: Kernel can´t find my harddrive.

Solution #1: Rename "GenericBuilds" on http://openelec.tv/get-openelec to "GenericBuilds except SiS-chipsets".

Solution #2: Include needed drivers like said on http://openelec.tv/forum/25-intel-platforms/12-intel-init4-error two years ago.

The OpenELEC system setup add-on allows the selection of a keyboard layout, and layouts like greek and russian are listed.

However, if one chooses, for example, a russian keyboard layout ('ru'), then you cannot enter latin characters at all. This makes the keyboard unusable for all practical purposes.

At system startup the init.d script runs a command that looks like

setxkbmap -display :0 ru

which is incorrect. The correct command for a russian keyboard looks like this:

setxkbmap -display :0 -layout 'ru,us' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'

I've used russian as an example, but the same idea holds for keyboards for other languages, e.g., greek, hebrew, bulgarian, etc.

The right way to handle keyboard layout selection is to allow the user to select an optional second keyboard layout in the gui.

Thank you.

Openelelc will suspend while sabnzbd is downloading.

If I enable "SABnzbd-Suite" under the XBMC addon options.

It starts with this:

./scripts/image_release
BUILD toolchain
BUILD pkg-config
packages/toolchain/devel/pkg-config/build: line 28: ./configure: No such file or directory
make: *** [release] Error 1

If not set, it starts with:

./scripts/image_release
BUILD toolchain
GET make

Not sure how I am to fix this. Since it works with everything else, except the NZB-Suite.

Successfully installed. HD shows okey, but no sound. In XBMS sound settings I could choose any option between Analog, HDMI, and several more. But all options give no any sound.

No bad idea to allow user to choose the partition to which he wants to install the OpenELEC.

Hi,

all later openelec images from http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/openelec-pvr/ and the archive are not working with cines2 or other DVB-S2 card's which uses the ngene kernel module.

The kernel module was searching the ngene_18.fw in /lib/firmware.
The error message in all newer builds is:
ngene: Copy ngene_18.fw to your hotplug directory!

I have copyed the /lib into /storage/lib and mounted /storage/lib into /lib, then i copyed the ngene_18.fw into /lib/firmware. and restarted tvheadend.
This works as workaround, hope you can fix it :)

Thanks :)

Hello,

I want to know if there is something I need to do differently after the above programs were converted to addons? Since I'm unable to make nor locate a way to initiate both.
