Where Did I Go Wrong?
« on: April 11, 2005, 09:19:00 AM »
XBMC v1.0 build 9-24-04 was working fine, but was getting a bit stale, so I decided to update.

Completely deleted old install folder under f:\apps (running Evox).

Deleted all cache files in x: y: z: partitions.

Deleted 0face008 in e:udata and e:tdata.

(forgive me if I'm getting a few of the names wrong, I'm at work and going from memory)

FTP'd new XBMC v1.1 build 4-9-05 to f:\apps

Evox sees the new install, as Xbox Media Center appears under the Apps menu, and attempts to load. Screen goes blank, hard drive reads for a second or two, then drops back to the Evox Apps menu.

I have the XBMC .xml config file (forget the name) set to an error level of 0, but I can find no instance of a log file to see what the hell is going wrong.

As I am not running XBMC as my dash, I made no other mods to the .xml config file (left home-/home as it is).

My thoughts: Do I have a bad build? Do I need to change something in the skins folder? (I seem to remember on the v1.0 build I had to change something from PAL to NTSC, or something)

HELP!! <

Try and launch it from unleashx, avalaunch, boxplorer etc.

Disable evo-x TSR and IGR  if those are active (remeber to SAVE AND EXIT) and try again <

I don't have any of those installed (other than Evox).

When I get home this evening, I'll locate copies of those and report back.

Thanks.

Figured out my problem.

I'm using the Xenium Ice chip with their OS (2.2.1 I believe). I was FTP'ing the files through it from my computer using FlashFXP.

I learned two things: Doing so is S-L-O-W, and for some reason the files don't get FTP'd correctly. They appear on the Xbox hard drive, but don't run right, or at all in my case.

Solution: Still used FlashFXP on computer side, but instead FTP'd through EvoX dash. Transfer was MUCH faster, and the files appear to get through correctly to the Xbox.

So, as I see it, the FTP setup the Xenium Ice OS uses has something wrong with it.

I had a similar experience yesterday setting up xbmc for my brother. I used the old-ass WS_FTP that usually works fine, but at his place it would go like 1.2mbit on a 100mbit lan using the Unleashx FTP server. So then I mapped the ftp in windows explorer and it would go 8MB/sec which is more like it, but then the windows explorer opens a new login whenever you do something so I had to reset the box all the time cause the ftp would limit the users.

After about 25 reboots and lots of cussing I finally got it all set up. <
