well ive installed it and found it on the web browser but i think ive did some thing stupid.
The update link in the browser: after ive clicked on it its not accesable anymore :S
(the moment ive clicked it i was aware the it was a mistake but too late to be correct it.)

loading error of the page.
How can i fix this?

(ive removed with geexbox updater the sickrage package and reinstalled it again after reboot.
No result
After removal of the package the link in the browser is remaining visible.)

[PeterMember]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Im not that experianced so before i start some questions to prevent troubles in my Geexbox configuration:
I started GeeXboX Updater (wich seams to work fine now a days ) and found Package “Python- Sickrage” in GeeXboX respository
Can i just use that one (looks easy-> one click action) or is it better to use opkg package instal with Putty?

thanks for the help.

I dont want to fenderbender but “(small)bump”

There are some other distro’s who have Sickbeard running or are just in deverlopertime and its nearly running.(according to forums around cuboxi platforms.)
But they have there own problems and my Geexbox version is running stable and smouth in all parts that im using so im not that exited to jump over the fence for one small gap in my wishlist.

Geexbox an sickbeard isnt popping up in de google list so do i move this topic in to the “Suggestions and Requests” ?

[PeterMember]

Its indeed needed for cuboxi
couchpotato is only for movies for so far im understand, im searching for the one thats used for series.
and thats i believe sickbeard.
specialy serie’s is it usefull to automaticly search and download every time a new episode is posted.

[PeterMember]

@Warped Rudi: The date’s in mine example are just posting dates not specialy fixing dates, and im understand your hesitation. Not every patch or adding needs to be added every time.
A montly update list revering to a build version is also good.
As a user i will look into that list for reason to update incase of a error/bug (fix) or just to see of an update is usefull because of some added features or several patches so a normal running Geexbox is just updating to an other stable version and not to a version that give’s some problems because of hmm “not yet tested” changes.:) (now its more a gamble because of the lack of (understandable) info.
(We users are happy when we can hop from one good working version to an other.And ofcours we will help detect errors or help to improof.)

All other small changes or special added programming wich are not for general using arn’t need to post in the list/thread.

So if only the bigger changes or a cluster of error fix’s /feature adding are posted whit the buildversion filename. That is also already a big plus for us hombel users, and save’s a lot of posted questions about updating or not.

@Tomlohave: i think thats what you meen by “rolling release”
Maybe is every month (12 time a year) or three month’s (4 times a year) a post with a list of changes revering to a buildversion posible?

regards
Peter

Thanks for the replay; I did have a look (and found your input; and im sure that its crystal clear and readable for developers but for just users (like me) its just looks like program languages and does not give away any clue like what is fixed or added.

So what i mean is a smal(sticky) thread or so in this forum where in very very short text is explained what the developers like you been working on to make Geexbox the best of all.
The only thing you or an other developer, need to do is ad a post to the sticky thread after a update or fix in the nightly build. (10 sec work i think.)

Something like this:

“Geexbox (nightly build) fix and options:(these are not based on real issues)

28 aug 2014: unable to wake up after days standby by IR-remote=> problem fixed.
14 sept2014: geexbox updater gifs script error => problem fixed (add link if usefull)
29 sept2014: [CuBox-i]DTS-HD MA and Dolby True HD => added to audio….
10 nov 2014: new skin added.[link to screenshot]
14 nov 2014:black screen and just audio after pauze or restart movie. => problem fixed
15 nov 2014: stable version 4.11
1 jan 2015: …..

so when i, or someone else, have a issue on the GeexBox, i look at my build-/flash img- or compiling date, read trough the list, starting from that build date till last post and i see my problem and its fixed posted, answere is clear: update! or flash new .img
When mine, or someone elses, problem issnt in the list: well its not detected yet or its (maybe) a option setting and not a bug.

again,Its only a suggestion, no push. (im shutting up now ;-P)

[PeterMember]

Its a more general question: im trying to find info about whats changed on the latest img build wich is downloadble
Ive seen lots of new builds(dates) the last few days uploaded. (keep up the good work! :), im glad that there are a lot of enthousiast people who spent a lot of time to keep Geexbox updated.)
The only thing is:I can’t find related info text in mercurial repositories or in the GitHub links,(latest is the geexbox updater), to read what is repaired or added to the build.

Do i look at the wrong pages?

(maybe its possible to ad a text file or pdf to that download page for essential info about difference from the previous build. like 3 nov and now 5 nov, a small change or a importand repair?

Its not a complain but more a request.

[PeterMember]

ok this info (from Warped rudi) does say it all: ending WU

[PeterMember]

@ Warped Rudi: in an other thread im was also trying to find the answere and you confirmed it.
(i will link your link also there. ok?)
Al my problems seems not build version related . (except the updater and that is fixed. )

Do you know an other Weather add-on wich is the same quality as Weather underground?
Yahoo is but. and china and Australië arn’t close by.

[PeterMember]

Well, tested my may compiled version Geexbox:
Display blacks : same problem, so probable a hdmi connection problem, (Or i can finaly buy a new TV :-P)
(diss- and reconnect cable gifs image back.(something wrong with the signal/line detection i think.)
Weather connection: also same problem(calls in defect), so the weather add-on is broken v3.0.9 not the GeexBox build. (how do i know when there is a repaired version? lets say v3.0.10? just look now and then or just keep weather underground installed so it is updating automaticly and goes active again?

Met Offic gives script broken, and Yahoo! is working on this build. (but crapy: no extra’s: just rain or windy or both…)

[PeterMember]

And? was the updater repaired correctly? (It seems to work fine on mine Cuboxi) and i notist the new img/tar on the 14 oct.
The only thing after updating seems the weather-underground add-on no more update/download the weather forcast.
After a wile the system announced that the add-on has an eror en its aksed or it has to be shut down.
So i did.
Anyone els the same problem?

[PeterMember]

yes, credits to: Gotiniens
He is the one who fixed it:

well someone has fixt it himself. ive pasted his file into mine xbmc.

[PeterMember]

Update: “special commands” is a tab with “audio output switching”.
Its working when the library modes is on.
And indeed it is switching between audio HDMI en Spdiff
(Andriod xbmc kodi had a update so i think they fixed it. )
XBMC/KODI is THE King of media players!

[PeterMember]

edit:

Also, many TVs have an SPDIF (usually optical, but in some cases coax) output. So why not route the sound through the TV to the receiver if the latter cannot do it?

Well my tv is a bit “classic” So replacement is needed sometime.
And i read about the fact that some of the tv’s don’t redirect the sound data correctly. anyway its no biggy, im just use the systemsetting audio for now.

Bytheway: witch version is the latest (stable) build now?

i found http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic641-440.html
dated september 2014.
