Xbmcfreak LiveCD 10.00 rc1 msremote

No major changes has been made to the built process. Most changes should be fit in the packages. Changes from XBMC.org:

Major fixes since Beta4:

* A fix for a problem when pausing/seeking. This was known to cause static or erratic behavior on some amplifiers.
* Beta4 introduced a regression with Linux and Live users that led to broken or choppy playback. Please note that anyone upgrading to RC1 on these platforms is highly advised to remove ~/.asoundrc, and create a new one if you had done so previously.
* The Bootable LiveCD script is now much more reliable. What a great way to install to a flash drive!

    This one. If you own a ASRock ION 330 machine you should use the nuvoton livecd.

    @Piethein: Will the Maverick based LiveCD use the new IR drivers that support the Asrock 330HT (http://www.xbmcfreak.nl/nuvoton-asrock-ion-330-ht-ir-receiver-support-in-ubuntu-10-10).

    I use the Asrock 330HT, but use a USB IR receiver from HP. Do I need to use this msremote version?

  4. Quintixbox says:

    @Piethein Strengholt

    Yes, this is the one you should use.
    The other one is only for the (relatively) newer ASRock ION 330HT/330Pro Nettops with the Nuvoton chipset.

    What about A330ION motherboards? This release or the other?

  8. Henk says:

    Hmm.. voor mijn “Remote” (Trust RC2400) moet ik toch deze CD gebruiken, voor de Asrock 330ION (oud model).
    De nuvotron versie werkt m’n remote niet op.

  9. RpR says:

    Misschien een paar rare vragen maar bestaat er ook een live cd die standaard is. Ik puzzel liever zelf rtorrent enz erin want dat maakt debuggen makkelijker.

    Hoe kan je deze dan eigelijk updaten als de stable uitkomt?

    I had almost the same message about asound.conf I must it leave empty!
    Try it.

  12. Henk says:

    Met deze installatie doet sabnzb moeilijk, weigerde om met mount-punt /home//downloads te werken (40GB drive)
    Maar accepteerde alleen op /home/xbmc/downloads maar daar heb maar 7GB vrij,
    dir aanpassen binnen sabnzb weigert het die meteen.
    Wie weet raadt!
    Omdat er een SSD drive inzit is het daarom belangrijk, 40GB aankoppeling is op /home/ dit kan niet worden verandert omdat dan alles wordt omgegooid.

    Hi!

    Are having sound issues with the Lenovo Ideacentre Q150.

    I have menu sounds (when moving around the menus), but every time I start a video stream, it tells me to check my audio settings, and I get no audio.

    What I have done so far:
    Edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and removed the following line:
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

    Edited /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to have:
    defaults.ctl.card NVidia
    defaults.pcm.card Nvidia
    defaults.pcm.device 9

    Rebooted.

    In XBMC configure your sound to use HDA NVidia.

    Run alsamixer from programs, unmuted all 4 devices.

    After this as said I have navigation sounds but no movie/music sound.

    Any ideas?

    Henk :
    Gevonden; folder rechten goed zetten.

    Hoe heb je dat gedaan? ik heb namelijk dezelfde problemen :-)

  17. Henk says:

    Huh.. Ook?

    Ik dacht dat ik iets fout deed omdat @Piethein geen aanpassingen gedaan had!
    Bij de eerste reset (na installatie) had xmbmc mijn ‘user’ settings overgenomen
    ,dus alles stond zoals bij beta4.
    Nadat ik xbmc meer rechten gaf (adduser) laadt xbmc z’n eigen defaults, foutje van mij dus, had ik niet moeten doen (bij RC3/4 is dat wel weer opgelost).
    Dit deed ik omdat sabnzb geen folder rechten (meer) heeft.

    Nadat ik de rechten heb aangepast met: chmod 755 /home//downloads/incomplete en hetzelfde voor de ‘complete’ map, daarna kon ik de dir’s in sabnzb saven.

  18. Henk says:

    // onjuist het moet zijn.
    opnieuw dus:
    chmod 755 /home/NAAM-USER/downloads/incomplete en dan voor de ~/incomplete

  19. Eric says:

    SSH (public key auth.) werkt ook niet met de rechten van /home/xbmc. Sowieso is het niet lekker dat de other groep rwx rechten heeft, maar ssh/sshd wil je niet met public keys laten inloggen, zolang de groep ‘xbmc’ schrijfrechten heeft op /home/xbmc.

    even een ‘sudo chmod 0750′ /home/xbmc lost dit op.

    ps:

    top release dit, geen static-herrie meer als een dvdtje gestopt wordt, opeens geluid in het menu terug!

    Erg fijn deze release!

    Met de RC1 ben ik op zich al aardig tevreden.

    Bedankt voor de donatie! Binnenkort komt mijn eerste Maverick livecd uit. Ik ben benieuwd wat jullie hiervan vinden. Met de opbrengst van alle donaties ga trouwens binnenkort ook iets leuks doen. Reden genoeg om af en toe op deze website te blijven kijken!!

    hi,

    is there a complete log of all of the differences between this and the official xbmc.org version??

    Is this based on Maverick 10.10?

    My Jetway atom 525 (Atom released June 2010) with ION2 locks up using Lucid and the latest Alsa.

    I just tried your new Live RC1 release and I get softlock errors on cpu#1 and CPU#3 and it just freezes (Continues to retry and error appears every 3-4 minutes). “”BUG: soft lockup – CPU#1 stuck for 61s! {modprobe:1350]”

    This happened with previous Lucid live releases too. But Maverick 10.10 works using XBMCbuntu install and use Alsa 1.0.23 from the ubuntu backports. It fails if I use the Alsa upgrade 1.0.23 script. Below works and is much faster.
    (sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic alsa-utils)
    Must be some additional patches for the processor and Alsa to work with the Atom 525 and ION2.

    Hardare config:

    Jetway Mini-TOP HBJC600C99-52W-BW – New Ion 2 ###GEforce 218
    Intel Atom 525 dual core 1.8Ghz (June 2010 release)
    1 GB Notebook (200 pin) PC-6400 Rendition RAM (Cruical)
    WD Scorpio Blue 250GB 2.5″ drive

    [B]This works:[/B]SW
    10.10 Mav.
    1.0.23 alsa with current patches using above cmd.
    260.19.12 Nvidia

    None of the live lucid distros work, keep getting errors and machine lockup during install.
    “errors “BUG: soft lockup – CPU#1 stuck for 61s! {modprobe:1350]”

  31. nifan says:

    Does anybody else have problems with there network cards by any chance ?

    I’ve installed XBMCFreak on disk and sometimes when I boot there is no network. There are TX packets going out on the interface but no RX packets coming in. And no IP address assigned, logical because dhcp does not work with no incoming traffic :)

    Wondering if this might have something to do with the bios update of my ZBox ND-22 or if it might be a bug in XBMCFreak….

    AspireRevo R3610 , Works better than any XBMC Live distro. A Couple mods to the out-of-box config. Here are my changes:

    1. Configured asound.conf and hda-intel.conf from line 14 of this guide here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=80779.
    2. Edited rc.local to include all USB ports
    3. Edited xorg.conf to include “gamma 1.35″ in the “monitor” section

    and everything works perfectly, including:

    - Multichannel (7.1!) mapping for HDMI audio is configured correctly
    - UI sounds
    - Resume from standby via remote
    - Videos have the correct brightness/contrast

    Hardware: Acer AspireRevo R3610, 4gB RAM, 32gB OCZ Onyx SSD, All content shared via SMB from Windows Home Server. Boots in 15 seconds from power off.

    Thanks so much for everybody helping out with this.

    Thank you! Installed and worked great out-of-the-box on my Acer Revo 1600.
    Had to configure the asound.conf with the steps in Nick’s link above, but that was the only hitch.

    OK, So after I typed this, I got greedy and went and updated to the latest Nvidia drivers (260.19.21, I believe) and everything is sweet, sans the fact that 1920×1080 is no longer selectable in XBMC. It maxes out at 1280×720. So I edited my xorg.conf to include some modelines, and keeping my fingers crossed that it worked. I can’t test the work, since I am not home and connecting to the HTPC via SSH.

    Anyone else run into this, and if so how did you get out??

  35. Ramon says:

    Problem ! everything work fine for me but when i connect my asrock ion 330 to denon avr 3311 with hdmi, i only got video but not sound , somebody can help me, if i connect the asrock direct to my tv i have no problem audio true hdmi, but with reciver yes what should i do ???????? thanks

    @Nick

    Sound Issues.

    I have tried a clean install of RC1 but i have the same Sound problems as BETA4 and BETA3

    Running Revo R3610, everything works OOTB except navigation sounds. I have a simple setup, HDMI only sound output to stereo TV (Kids and Wife can’t work 7.1 AMP……)

    So anyway, on clean install i get no navigation sounds at all, then i update the asound.conf and HDA-Intel.conf with the files here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=80779.

    Now i have Navigation sounds for a while (It’s random) then i loose navigation sound and start getting clicks through the speakers (like a heartbeat). It’s normally after i have been watching something, then pause it and exit back to the menu.

    Any Ideas, this has been driving me mad for weeks and i was hoping RC1 would fix it.

    Thanks

    Hallo,

    heb deze versie geïnstalleerd. Werkt perfect maar het geluid is heel zacht. Instellingen voor geluid staan op standaard (net als in eerdere versies, met wel goed geluid). Alsa mixer staat op 80%. iemand een oplossing?

  41. adgr says:

    @CdR
    Als je het geluid te zacht vindt de alsa mixer hoger zetten en/of het versterkervolume opschroeven lijkt me een prima oplossing.

  42. CdR says:

    @adgr
    Wanneer ik Alsa mixer op 100 zet krijg ik ruis. TV staat bij acceptabel geluid op 95 terwijl normaal gesproken 25 al hard geluid is bij andere apparaten op dezelfde tv. Bedoel je trouwens versterker volume in Alsa?

  43. Nick says:

    @bobby_rocks
    @Bobby_Rocks Make sure that your audio configuration is correct in settings/system/audio. I use hdmi, 7.1, enable Dolby and dts, disable boost volume on downmix, hdmi for output device, and custom passthrough plug:both

    If your TV doesn’t support Dolby or dts, make sure those are disabled.

    As far as Nav sounds are concerned, after I stop certain videos, my Nav sounds don’t work again until either reboot or wake from sleep. I have no popping sounds, though. Hope that helps. Check out the guide I wrote at: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=86057

    Maybe you can look through and see if you missed something.

    Is there any way to upgrade my stock xbmc.org rc1 live install to this version or do i need to do a fresh install?

    If i need to do a fresh install, is it easy enough to backup my sabnzbd, sickbeard and couchpotato setups so that i can quickly transfer them?

    I had the same problem with my AT3IONT-I. The solution is to add “usbcode.autosuspend=-1″ to file /etc/default/grub in line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

    Now i have sth like that:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1″

  46. Jimmeh says:

    My logitech dinovo keyboard doesn’t work in this version. I assume this is because of ubuntu interpreting the device as a bluetooth device instead of a usb device. Also after installation it didn’t log directly into xbmc.

  47. Jimmeh says:

    @Jimmeh
    For some reason the logitech dinovo USB dongle is now defaulting to HCI mode in rc1 whereas we had HID mode in beta4.

    I changed the KERNEL value on line 14 in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules to:
    KERNEL==”hidraw*”

    Can this change be made in the next version?

    Hi,
    Great release, does anyone know how to enable a msremote (USB) with this build and the Acer Revo r3610?
    I can get the remote working perfect in the windows dharma version, but xbmcfreak doesn’t seem to pick it up.

  49. Darren says:

    Can anyone recommend a working Wireless N usb dongle that works with this distro?
