xbmc-git AUR package: discussion in here please

You could probably enable external building of libass, but for the time being it's recommended to stay on revision 28276 because it'll probably break while they're merging huge chunks of addons.

PAdu92: ./bootstrap i.e. autoconf needs cvs (build-dep). without, it will fail to create the configure files. I just learned that when trying to build xbmc-pvrtesting2 rev 29121.

PAdu92 · 2010-04-08 21:37:08

Thanks a lot!!!!
Haggy should note this for the futur

Hi!

I'm getting this error when I try to re-install 28276-1 (after openssl got updated I have to recompile for xbmc to start):

In file included from /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h:90,
                 from /usr/include/libmms/bswap.h:25,

Anyone know why this happens?

It seems to be related to this bug: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8953
but for me it's glib 2.24.0-1 that is the culprit. How can I get around this? Downgrading is a real hussle cause I have a bunch of dependencies to the newest version.

latest svn work fine, I think the merge is done since it's been a long time there is no changes in addons on svn...... So as long as you have cvs installed you can compile r29157

Perre · 2010-04-10 13:47:45

Thanks for the tip PAdu92. r29157 compiles perfectly!

bentzl · 2010-04-14 21:14:08

I just updated my system, was still on 27xxx. Had my last update somewhen last year.
It compiled fine and is running, but i cant get vdpau running. I could chose VDPAU as a render method in the old xbmc version, but i cannot now. I can only chose between basic shaders, advanced shaders, software and auto.
I can only activate an option below the render method, which is 'Allow hardware acceleration (VDPAU).

But VDPAU is not activated during playback, wich results in stuttering while hd playback. Is there something i missed? I just used the xbmc-svn PKGBUILD and changed the revision to 29157. VDPAU should be enabled by default. I'm on 64bit and the system is updated.

Any ideas on this?

.:B:. · 2010-04-15 07:17:26

Does any of you guys have the recently added movies/episodes notification in the top right working with any of the newer SVN revisions? I am running 28744 (which works fine), but more recent SVN builds all seem to break that functionality.

FYI: I reverted to r28700 which has the glib2 fix inlcuded and it's running fine so far.

spykos · 2010-04-15 21:43:32

Hello to all Arch users...my first post here...although old Arch user...

They changed VDPAU option in latest SVNs. You will see it exactly below the old render method option. It can be switched on/off.

I have another problem though. All addons have disappeared, when I go to addons option I now see an empty black window!

Update on Addon problem: Ticket #9082 (closed Bugs: Invalid)

It stopped working for me too on 29157...

haggy · 2010-04-19 18:39:56

Guys,

i wanted to let you know that i'm no longer updating xbmc-svn or any other xbmc related package in the AUR.

I left Arch for good it seems. My priorities shifted and my spare time decreased a lot so that i simply don't have enough time anymore for such an ever-breaking package (and distro, *cough*). I "made the switch" to Ubuntu and i'm happy with it so far. Not that i don't consider Arch the best "hacking" distro i ever used, but Ubuntu just fits better into my limited spare time budget in the future. In case you're curious - /me is becoming a daddy

So long - wishing you the very best and a lot of fun with xbmc and Arch. I'll still be available over at the xbmc.org forums - not planning to give up both "jobs", so drop me a line if you need to know something.

If anyone is willing to take over xbmc-svn and related packages - i'd be happy to hand it over into good hands. Just drop me a PM. If not i guess i'll just orphan it in a week or so.

Ralf aka. Haggy

eirik · 2010-04-19 18:44:56

Sorry to see you go, but thanks for all the great work you've been doing over here up until now.

Nooo I guess it will be a lot harder to maintain a recent build of xbmc now.
Still, thanks for your great work so far and congratulations

Perre · 2010-04-20 16:08:07

Thanks alot for all the help Haggy! It's been greatly appreciated and you will be missed.
Congratulations with being a father!

mentat · 2010-04-20 18:04:49

Yes thank you for all your great work and support, you're a great contributor for xbmc users.
Congratulations too !
And please someday comeback to Arch ;-)

DonVla · 2010-04-21 08:11:02

Hello folks!

I've adopted xbmc-svn and the skins maintained by Haggy.
I've also made a github repo for the xbmc stuff: http://github.com/DonVla/xbmc-svn
The skins I'll upload later.
I need some time to check which xbmc svn version is new and to test compiling it. Then I'll upload it to AUR.
As I said in the comments, I am not familiar with the xbmc development so I need some help - that's why I made the github repo.
If one's interested in helping I'll give him/her access to github.

Greets,
Vlad

PS: Thank you Haggy for your effort and good luck to you!

tidalf · 2010-04-22 18:52:17

Congrats Haggy and thanks for all your work.

Good luck DonVla too

If I can add my 2 cents :

I think you should stick for now to the 28276, the postmerge builds are not usable.

for those who care, I've made some backport of some changeset needed so the 28276 build on an up2date arch.
I've also tried to add upower/udisks support.

the PKGBUILD and diffs are here : http://ematome.com/xbmc-svn.tar.gz

DonVla · 2010-04-22 20:16:09

@tidalf:
Hi and thank you.
If you want you can gain write access to http://github.com/DonVla/xbmc-svn , create an own branch and upload your stuff there.
I think this is the best solution.
The last revision I've tried is 29411 and here it works fine. Though I haven't tested all its features.

Hello Don,

I've got problems with addons with the latest trunk and i'm not sure but I think plugins and scripts are not yet working either.

For the github thing, i've created a account (tidalf) so i can try to add a branch (i'm not familiar with github). Thanks you.

Hello tidalf,
I read on the xbmc forums that the addons are disabled in the newer svn revisions (http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?s=c5 … tcount=384)

For the github thing, i've created a account (tidalf) so i can try to add a branch (i'm not familiar with github). Thanks you.

You have now write access on github. For forking and creating branches read this: http://help.github.com/forking/

As it seems XBMCTex is now deprecated, so most of the git/svn skins from the AUR are obsolete, because they do not use the new TexturePacker method. So the skins update will take some time.

The xbmc-svn PKGBUILD will be updated this afternoon.

Vlad

PAdu92 · 2010-04-23 08:39:30

addons work fine after 29411

tidalf · 2010-04-23 09:25:13

thanks for the access DonVla, I'll try to upload my patched 28276 asap

@padu92, well you are lucky:
I've got segfaults with latest revs if there is any addons in the /usr/share/xbmc/addons or ~/.xbmc (but it's probably something messed elsewhere.).
With previous builds, the system addons where not loaded. And scripts (like opensubtiles_osd or svnrepo) weren't showed at all.

PAdu92 · 2010-04-23 12:40:06

29452 compiles fine for me and the plugins page have changed, but do work! I didn't move anything in ~/.xbmc works out of the box.....
edit: try removing ~/.xbmc
