    Hi all,

    I am sorry for my long silence (due to xmas break)
    @fabulous, You can share using samba (you have to configure it by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf )
    @K4lin, You have to decompress the image before using Win32diskimager, is it the way you try to flash the image ?
    @ottyphc, This is due to GPU activity on XBMC main screen. As surprising as it may sound disabling RSS feeding will really help if you want to stay on XBMC main screen ;)
    @Nexxy There is no xserver support in my image...
    @fabulous : Your hdd conf is perfectly doable but I fear you will still need a sdcard (for uboot)

    Best regards
    Stephan

    Thanks!! That did the trick ;) I don't know why, I thought I could burn the .xz file directly through Win32diskimager.

    Now I am able to boot my UDOO into XBMC, but I did noticed it is unable to play any of my .FLAC music files (I loaded a USB stick full of them). This is because of this XBMC compilation, or do I need to install some plugin/driver?

    Thanks again.

    Greetings,
    Hector.

    There are issues with some audio formats, like i mentioned earlier (sorry for double postsing) I can't play mkv-files containing DTS-HD MASTER (FLAC audiotrack). I don't know if there is any work progress to overcome this, since this has not been confirmed by others...?

    Best regards

    Chris

    I'm really sorry to bother you again, but there is certainly a lot of newbies here so:
    This file doesn't exists. Either the directory.
    I tried to create via VI editor ... very difficult. What best editor is there on Yocto ? Impossible to find commands list for Yocto.

    Starting from SD is not a problem. I formatted my hdd in ext3.

    so.. plz Can someone share any tutorial for noobs ? I think I'm not the only person who wants to make a multimedia server anyway? (network sharing with Windows for videos and music)
    thx

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Sorry again for the delay of my answer.
    First, samba and nano are available in my repo and should be installable thanks to smart command...
    Next release will include them by default (joe should already be available by default)

    Regarding flac, I am aware of the issue and will investigate...
    For DTS-HD, the problem may be different : Have you configured passthrough output on HDMI ?

    Regards
    Wolfgar

    Hi fabulous,


    Do you have a working connection to the internet ?
    Have issued a
    "smart update" command previously ?
    What do you get if you type
    "smart search nano" or "smart search samba" ?

    Stephan

    Hi Fabulous,

    It is very strange. the search for samba should issue far more results.
    Please try to the following :
    Code:
    rm -rf /var/lib/smart/
    smart channel --add wolf_repo type=rpm-md baseurl=http://www.stephan-rafin.net/rpmhf2
    smart update
    
    and try again to check if it helps...

    Regards
    Stephan

    Hi Stephan,

    Does your iMX6 port of XBMC contain a different set of codec? I have problem playing RealVideo file (rmvb) - there is sound but no video.

    Regards

    Hmm,

    just saw that you wrote that you arent supporting xserver .. well i think you didnt get my point.

    If you kill xbmc .. to work on the shell you can restart xbmc by restarting x ( : command -> "x" ) cauz its in the autostart.

    But if you do that .. you no longer suppress error messages + some memory problems.

    Btw did you manage to get strg + alt f1 working if xbcm takes control over the grafical UI ?
    I managed to started more than one tty .. but you cant switch while xbmc is running.

    Any hints when the next release comes and will it contain the latest xbmc version ?

    Greetings

    Hi Stephen. Thank you for all your amazing work! I managed to compile and install your yocto xbmc image onto my udoo quad and its working well...

    Just one question:
    Does anyone know the status on CEC control being made available in the udoo kernel?...because i assume this is all you need Stepehen to get the pulse eight cec adapter to work properly in xbmc?

    Hi all,

    Sorry for being unable to be more present here.
    These last days I have been very busy to improve the liveTV implementation.
    I hope to be able to release soon this feature in a very good state with full deinterlacing support and perfectly smooth experience.
    It drains most of my free time ;)

    @fabulous : I guess the best is to be patient : As soon as i reach the point I aim for liveTV I will publish a new version with everything already available without hassle
    @nexxy : the next release will be published when livetv support will be fine. It depends on the time I need to solve the remaining issues...I can be 3 days or 2 weeks sorry...
    @sherman : Yes there might be an issue with HD audio passthrough. At hw level it should work but there might be something missing above ;)
    Unfortunately I have nothing to test by myself but once I have the other functions up and working I will try to investigate "blindly" with users like you ..
    @plres100 Unfortunately, the current udoo release seems to be badly designed at hw level regarding cec. I notified the design team a month ago and they said they will solve it in next release...

    Best regards
    Stephan
