Testing XBMC

[Sam Nazarko]

This thread is for initially testing XBMC on the Debian root filesystem.

[Sam Nazarko]

Testing is now finished

[lozcs]

So far used debian-xbmc-24-04-2012 and got XBMC running fine on Pi with firmware it came with.

Complete Linux beginner - love to help but if you want me to try anything you'll have to let me know exactly what you want me to type!

Instructions are above, but if you're happy for the moment, it's probably best not to mess with anything.

Please use this build instead:

http://raspbmc.com/downloads/bin/xbmc/xb...st2.tar.gz

Verified working.

Launching with this script gets rid of black bar console issues:

#!/bin/bash
clear
set +v
tput civis
/opt/xbmc-bcm/xbmc-bin/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin > /dev/null
tput cnorm

I have learnt a few things that might help noobs but I don't think this is the right thread to post.

So far I have tried all of your commands and updates but still get:

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo /opt/xbmc-bcm/xbmc-bin/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
/opt/xbmc-bcm/xbmc-bin/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmicrohttpd.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Go for it. No problem at all

New things are:
Getting ethernet working - upon first boot using debian I couldn't connect to the internet so I found out how to restart my ethernet and it then worked:

Code:

$ sudo ifdown eth0
$ sudo ifup eth0

Then Sam kindly pointed out on Twitter that I should use SSH rather from a working computer rather than typing everything out on my Pi. Again off to find the right commands.

On the PI

Code:

$ sudo service ssh start
$ ip address show

Then on my Macbook

Code:

$ ssh pi@192.168.YOUR.IP

And off you go ....

EDIT 1
Actually I think my error is in the "apt-get" command.

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# apt-get -y install autoconf libstdc++6-4.3-dev libboost-dev libass-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libmad0-dev libjpeg-dev libsamplerate0-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libmodplug-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libflac-dev libmysqlclient-dev libbz2-dev libtiff4-dev libssl-dev libssh-dev libsmbclient-dev libyajl-dev libfribidi-dev libsqlite3-dev libpng12-dev libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libcdio-dev libiso9660-dev libfreetype6-dev libjasper-dev libmicrohttpd-dev python-dev python-sqlite libplist-dev libavahi-client-dev libtinyxml-de librtmp0-dev

E: Unable to locate package librtmp0-dev

I've just run:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# apt-get -y install autoconf libstdc++6-4.3-dev

And that worked so I will try and find the cuplrit!

EDIT 2
This works so it seems to be the final two that are causing the issue:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# apt-get -y install autoconf libstdc++6-4.3-dev libboost-dev libass-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libmad0-dev libjpeg-dev libsamplerate0-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libmodplug-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libflac-dev libmysqlclient-dev libbz2-dev libtiff4-dev libssl-dev libssh-dev libsmbclient-dev libyajl-dev libfribidi-dev libsqlite3-dev libpng12-dev libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libcdio-dev libiso9660-dev libfreetype6-dev libjasper-dev libmicrohttpd-dev python-dev python-sqlite libplist-dev

Ignore librtmp0 not including in this build anyway
