Installation issues / Outdated /etc/apt/sources.list ?

« on: March 31, 2012, 01:16:28 am »

 During the LMCE 8.10 installation I can see that it tries to download a lot off stuff (mythtv, etc), but it also reports that these downloads fail.

I ssh'ed into the server and ran 'apt-get update':

Code: [Select]

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The server (archive.ubuntu.com) is up, but it does not have any of the above listed files. Has Ubuntu recently removed them? Can I  them anywhere else?

Thanks,

Developers / Re: Remote API

I am interested in writing client applications to read data from - and control LinuxMCE. What would it take to make this data and controls available in an open API using for instance XML or JSON?

I very experience Java architect/programmer, yet not so bewandered in the C/C++ world (but still enough to make smaller changes, and maybe more later on). If someone would give me the necessary pointers (not very familiar with the LinuxMCE codebase) I am more than happy to start looking into this.


Cheers,

Hi,

Is there a remote api I can use if I want to develop native applications for handheld devices like the iPhone/Android ?

Thanks,
