question to other guys wich compiling xbmc-server:

do you use for get source xbmc: git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

 

because if after that you dont make

git checkout Frodo

you will be have Gotham version

 

yea, i checked out with frodo 12.2

 

i am also wondering, what configuration did you use when compiling? there are a lot of things that can be disabled and some that cannot. soon i will start testing it to disable or remove more unneeded things to get it to run with less memory. for instance, the latest one i have still has bluetooth support, which i'm sure i can remove when i get the time.

Although I haven't had any issue related to using 13.37 packages on UnRAID. I did notice most of the packages in Influencer's plug-ins use 13.37 packages.

 

yeep but some package are depended of glibc from slackware 13.1 and other deep libs in system, other not

most packages used in Influencers's plugin from 13.37 are not depending of main libs in system so work stand-alone - then yes you can use from higher version

of slackware - anyway if you want keep full compatibility better recompile packages under 13.1

 

few post before you have examples what heppens with system if you to much replace from 13.37

then even some service in system crash like mover, cron etc.

 

I have some expirence when i compile Transmission - there was depends "openldap-client"

if you just use this package from slackware 13.37 then you get segfaults

 

That why other and Influencer use in plugin version from slackware 13.1

<FILE Name="/boot/packages/openldap-client-2.4.21-i486-1.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new">
<URL>http://slackware.oregonstate.edu//slackware-13.1/slackware/n/openldap-client-2.4.21-i486-1.txz</URL>

 

anyway im recompile this packages under 13.1 - and have latest openldap-client-2.4.34-i686-1PTr full workin with transmission

 

Smillar problems for sure will be with xbmc-server

Right. I can't have CRON giving me segfaults. That would not fly well with the rest of the community either I don't think.

 

I will wait for the new version you have coming bobbintb.

well i just posted a beta version to get more testers:

 

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27545.0

 

it seems fairly stable, but i dont do cron jobs and such. i already posted it before i started reading piotrasd's posts so i will leave it and try to keep most of the discussion on that post. but i still want to get the properly compiled version in there.

 

piotrasd, since you are already working that, i would love to join forces.

delate glibc from 13.37 in your plugin - this cannot you install ! in unraid (this making segfaults)

 

Im already upload packed my xbmc-server version - please test it

 

My compilation XBMC-server for unraid + some packages recompiled

https://truck.it/p/YkeZ6fDu1A (cannot use with glibc-2.13-i486-4.txz - my version work with unraid version 2.11.1)

 

I dont have time to test - so please raport me problems, later i try recompile more depend packages for unraid

(im pretty sure the cron and other segfault dont will exist )

Okay, you posted while I was typing my reply, but I'll let it stand as is:

 

Indeed, it's not clear what you hope to achieve by running xbmc on the server.

 

I run OpenELEC media boxes - all the movies, the database, the thumbnails etc. are all stored on a shared central resource on the unRAID server - I even boot from unRAID via PXE (network) boot.

 

My OpenELEC boxes don't have any local storage - no drives, not even a flash drive.  If I perform a library update, the library is automatically updated for all boxes.  Sometimes I will perform a library update without turning a TV on, by running XBMC on a desktop computer.  If I stop watching a movie, part way through, on one box, I can go to another one and it will automatically continue from where I stopped on the first box.

 

My boxes are running the same hardware, so if I update the OpenELEC version on the server, all boxes are updated automatically.

 

So, the question, again, is: What are you trying to achieve - anything I cannot do?

 

Thanks Peter

 

This is exactly what I want to acheive, can you tell me do you use a my sql database on your unraid server or do you not need to as your running all the openelec boxes via network boot, also do you have much of a delay in the cover art loading via the network.
