XBMCFreak 10.1 Lucid livecd’s

Here are the latest XBMCFreak livecd’s, bases on XBMC version 10.1. These livecd’s are based on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), just like the xbmc.org version. These livecd’s will fix a samba Windows 7 filesharing problem. The livecd’s should contain the latest ubuntu packages. The Nuvoton repository is still broken, therefor I used a different repository. While the version of the remote controller should be the same, I haven’t been able to test these. Download below.

This livecd contains the following changes compared to the version from xbmc.org:

  • Asrock ion330 remote support
  • Support for logitech dinovo edge added
  • Wakeonlan configuration added
  • Sabnzbd
  • MakeMKV (blu-ray support)
  • Samba Windows Filesharing support
  • Transmission (torrent)
  • FireFly (mt-daapd) iTunes support added
  • Apache, PHP, XBMC PHP remote added (webserver default on)

Download:

Updated version!

    Ik heb deze geinstalleerd op mijn Asrock ION 3D 152d, maar mijn remote werkt niet. Ik heb al verschillende dingen geprobeerd (inclusief opnieuw configureren van lirc, uninstall/reinstall, etc)
    Iemand een idee wat ik nog zou kunnen proberen?

    Hey, want to say I appreciate the updates, but unfortunately, ever since Maverick v2, my IR receiver has not worked with your releases. I really hope that the new receiver I ordered does, because I think your releases are excellent! I’m not sure what you did to add so many remotes to v2, but if there’s any way you could add back the more recent Rosewill receivers (or duplicate that level of comprehensive remote support), I’d be really grateful. I’d prefer to use the Rosewill IR if possible, because the form factor is great, with no cord. I’m sure the new one will be fine, also, though, and if it works out of the box with no special installations necessary, I’ll be thrilled (I tried installing the IR myself in the past, didn’t go so well…).

    Thanks again for all your hard work!

    How to add default sound clicks in menu to hdmi output?

    H.B. :
    Hey lads, please help: I cannot install the new live cd on my Acer Revo 3610. During setup I am always asked for a cd rom. I use unetbootuin and have installed the .iso to a usb stick where i am booting from…any idea how to solve this?

    Unetbootin causes problems when trying to install using a bootable USB stick because of the syslinux config. The “cdrom-detect/try-usb=true” is missing. Modify the last line of this file to read
    append initrd=/ubninit cdrom-detect/try-usb=true

    please help me for the black screen on the login,how can I fix it???

    Do you get a completely black screen or is there a login prompt?

    MS-LiveCD v2: Everythings works fine and out of the box on my Acer Revo 3610. 5.1 Sound via HDMI, 1080p video playback w/o stuttering, diNovo Mini Keyboard and Harmony One work like a charme. Thx a lot! The only thing that doesn’t work correctly are the sound effects in the menu structure of xbmc, but they are less important. Is there an easy way to add Internet access via Firefox within xbmc?

  9. dazzer says:

    @ptodic, for menu sound edit the following file /home/xbmc/.asoundrc and add the following at the bottom;

    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
    pcm “hdmi”
    }
    }

    Bij het downloaden met sabnzbd krijg ik de volgende melding

    “download_dir map: fout /home/xbmc/Downloads bij toegang”

    Heeft dit iets te maken met rechten en Samba ?

  11. adgr says:

    @Mitch
    Wat zijn de rechten en ownership instellingen en bestaat de /home/xbmc/Downloads directory?
    Probeer anders eens:
    sudo chown xbmc:xbmc /home/xbmc -R

    Thank You agdr

  13. Marc says:

    Nevermind, I misspoke. I reinstalled v2 and it updated everything to 10.1 automatically on reinstall, so remote works, and I get the great updates as well. Thanks again for all great customizations of an already great HTPC interface.

    Hey

    Thx a lot!!!

    Just tried to test PHP Remote but in some reason it just doesn’t work.

    Getting this page, but I have checked that these are enabled.
    - Check if the option “Allow control of XBMC via http” is enabled in the Network Settings.
    - Check if the port number in config.php matches the port number from the Network Settings.

    Anyone else suffering from this?

    Eerder melde ik dat de beide temperaturen niet meer werden getoond.

    Eéntje heb ik weer werkend, nl de GPU. Iemand een oplossing voor de CPU temp?
    In de advancedsettings.xml de volgende regels opgenomen:

    echo “$(sensors -u | tail -n4 | grep temp1_input | awk ‘{print $2 }’ |awk ‘{printf(“%d\n”,$1 + 0.5);}’) C”
    echo “$(nvclock -T | sed -ne “s/=> GPU temp.*: \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p”) C”

    Is er Blueray support in deze versie ? (disk en image/files?)
    Met de oudere versies heb ik dat nog nooit werkend gezien op een ASRock ION330HT-BD

    Funny … when I putty into my xbmc I can’t see that file.
    but when I type nano .asoundrc it is there.
    This doesnt seem to work for me.
    No menu sounds.

    How do I get transmission working ?

  21. adgr says:

    @Asrock.ION.330.HT.Fan
    Filenames starting with . are hidden files and are not displayed when you issue an ls or ls -l command. ls -la does display hidden files.

  22. Jammu says:

    @Jammu
    Solution to this is to add username/pwd to config.php file:
    $xbmcjsonservice = “http://user:pwd@192.168.0.57:8080/jsonrpc”;

  26. Alberto says:

    Gister deze versie op mijn Asrock gezet, en alles werkt out of the box. TOP :-)

    Behalve een ding: Ik krijg geen TRAILER knop te zien.

    Met de vorige versie (beta 2) was de knop er wel.
    Heeft dit soms te maken met welke scraper je gebruikt (heb nu themoviedb.org ingesteld als scraper)

  27. Marcel says:

    @Alberto @alberto volgens mij is het ook afhankelijk van de leeftijd van de film, “vroeger” hadden ze nog geen trailers, of die zijn niet opgeslagen door imdb / themoviedb…..

  28. Alberto says:

    Dat zou kunnen,maar films die i Beta 2 wel een trailer hadden hebben dat nu niet meer.
    Zelfs een film als 13, welke echt nieuw is heeft geen trailer.

    Zou het helpen als ik een andere scraper gebruik?

    Gister mijn Asrock Ion 152d ontvangen en de nuvoton versie geinstalleerd. (Bios 1.30 eerst erop gezet). Remote werkt perfect! Zit alleen nog wat met de vdpau instellingen aan het rommelen voor wat betreft 24 fps enz.

  31. Steve says:

    Great work, thanks!
    2 comments/requests/feature suggestions:
    1. Allow wireless networking during setup
    2. Firefly Media Server (mt-daapd) listens on port 9092, which is the same port that Squeezebox Server automatically sets Mysql to listen on. I thought the default Firefly Media Server port was 3689?

  32. Exiles says:

    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
    pcm hdmi_complete
    }
    }
    add that to the end of your .asoundrc file and clicks are restored again. enjoy

    Hello

    I tried to install thhe Nuvoton-Version on my ASRock330HT but i can’t get the Sound working using HDMI.. anybody else got the same Problem and a solution for that ??

    I tried using the Cutom Devices (hwplug:0,3) ..

    Any Ideas ?

  34. Volker Graf says:

    @tiep
    Well I had the same Problem … therefore I hardcoded the ModeLine for my Panel in xorg.conf … and everything worked .. (well not the sound .. but that seems to be another Problem) ..

    Hi. Have you any plans on integrating Spotify support to your releases ?
    I think that would have been awesome ;)

    http://www.madeo.co.uk/?p=647

  36. adgr says:

    @Even
    If you have a premium or unlimited spotify account it is straightforward to install the spotify linux client and run spotify from xbmc using the launcher addon. Just make sure to create a startscript you run from the launcher that starts fluxbox in the background before starting spotify and kills fluxbox when spotify quits.
    I tried it on my xbmc system and it works fine if you exit spotify via quit from the filemenu, not when clicking the X in the topright of the spotify window.
    Of course this is not a full integration of spotify in xmbc and I have not been able to get spotify to remember my username and pssword yet, so it prompts for that info on every startup.

  37. Momoski says:

    @adgr
    Could you please provide step by step instructions on how to create the script and its contents for the launcher. I managed to download spotify for linux and install it as described in their guide on spotify.com.
    I am a noob when it comes to linux.
    Thanks

  38. Momoski says:

    Ok, I took a look at the launcher for using it to launch firefox. I got that working. For Spotify I used:

    #!/bin/bash
    fluxbox &
    spotify
    killal -9 fluxbox

    But that causes a black screen with xbmc moved to the top of the screen. I can just see a little bit of it. No spotify. The only thing I can do is reboot to be able to use XBMC again.

  39. adgr says:

    @Momoski
    I don’t have that issue. I get a nice spotify login window and after that the spotify GUI.
    Maybe your issue is related to the screensize (resolution) you use, the fluxbox settings, the contents of xorg.conf etc.
    What do /home/xbmc/.fluxbox/init and /etc/X11/xorg.conf look like on your system, and what is the resolution used in xbmc?

  40. momoski says:

    @adgr
    I recently upgraded to maverick live cd v2. When I run spotify from putty I get the message that QTWebkit is not available. Installing QTWebkit doesnt work because that has dependencies that I cant install on this version.
