Users / Re: MD broken after latest update & upgrade

Hi Richard,
In a great hospital with totally awesome doctors and nurses, it's a bloody hard gig they have and I can only thank them from the bottom of my heart for all their help and support. I am recovering really well and planning on going back home tomorrow and if possy finds an easy fix then that would be great as my 2.5 year is nagging mum for the md
Thanks for your kind thoughts Richard and what brought me back down to reality was there was a poor elderly gentleman here that taught me a saying of "Life is a brief interruption to a long and peaceful existence 
Cheers
Bruce

Hi
Thanks for the post I got taken to hospital with bleeding on the brain last Fri night and my family are stuck at home with no md so if the possy has found a simple solution I can easliy implement when I hopefully get home from the hospital next week that would be great as it would to hard for me to implement too many changes to the system until I fully recover,

Thanks to everybodys help with working on a possible soloution with this issue as I am only an average user and can follow step by step instructions so all this help is very much appreciated

Cheers

Going down hill fast.........tried the following....now not sure what steps to take next

1. SAMBA mods get an error
2. Recreated the Diskless image and deleted the MD and restarted and it finally rebuilt and I got through the AV wizard only to be presented with just a cursor and the black screen of death.....(must be Bill Gates trying to stalk me now in Linux)
3. Restarted the MD as I was about to throw it off the balcony and it looked like it was booting up normally only to see msg's of installing all different files which is fine except for the fact after about 5 mins it started coming up with a continuous msg on the screen saying "Orbiter failed to initalise openGL at the top of the screen and in the middle of the screen it has another msg that says "Starting Media Devices"
4. If I click ok then the Orbiter msg disappears only to return about 10secs later

By the way the core is working ok playing content etc...........what the real hassle is all was working perfectly before doing any updates or upgrades, I might have to resort to reloading my original image and starting a fresh as I know my image that I built 3 or 4 months ago works. Could it be that there may be an issue with one of updates and a possible compatibility issue with my hardware as there must be 1000's of users that have successfully done an update and upgrade and not experienced the same frustrations otherwise there could of been lots of equipment going off balconys

As always I appreciate all the help and it great to have such a high level of support from everyone

Regards,

Plays on the core so I get the feeling a create a new diskless image on the core and then restart the md so it rebuilds....what do you think

Hi All,
Updated the MD and rebooted it, installed libdvdcss2 on both the core and the md........checked in webadmin and both show it installed. Still no go with playing back on the MD, should I delete it and recreate the diskless image on the core and then restart the md so it reinstalls?

Thanks avajon for the quick response and you have jogged the old gray matter...........I did logging using moon167 but it wanted a password which if I remember rightly that it does not need one but I tried that and it didn't work.

I also checked the software packages via web admin and libdvdcss is not showing up in either the core or md which as you say may be the reason, funny how it's now not there with the latest update/upgrades..........though I can't confirm if they were there prior to that, but they must of been as I could play everything prior to that. I am curious why mp3's don't play either as I would of thought that file would not of have any impact on them.

Users / MD broken after latest update & upgrade

« on: July 16, 2010, 01:24:50 pm »

Have just performed the latest update & upgrade on the core after waiting for sometime as the last time I did it I ended up breaking the core, good news I believe the core is okay after the updates and I can even run the new Weborbiter 2.0, well just about waiting on an answer to fix a small bug with the iphone orbiter in another post. The main issue is my one and only MD now refuses to play any videos or audio, it get's up to the point of selecting play and then it just returns to the screen saver with a msg of DVDCSS is not installed. I have deleted the MD and done a new diskless set up but no good still the same.............I have to assume the update or upgrade has changed something as everything with the MD was okay before the update & upgrade but unfortunately I would not have a clue of where to start looking

If anybody has suggestions that would be much appreciated as the wife is going nuts........also if someone could advise how to get the MD to do an update, I remember the MD's have a different user name and password when you SSH in which I found on the forums once before but after of hours of searching I still can't find it

Thanks & regards

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the tip I have done an upgrade & update and tested it but unfortunately nothing changed so I am guessing we might have to do a reboot or regen........could you please advise.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Andrew,
After another test of my iPhone the same thing is happening to me it's giving the effect of a touch screen that needs calibration, you one key and you get a different action

Hi Andrew,
Weborbiter 2.0 runs fantastic on my iPhone 3GS running OS4, since I got the updates to work, just need to log another post as now the md won't play any video files since doing all the updates.

Well done

Frustrated now, edited the sources.list to fix the avenard issue and I did a update and upgrade and it did a whole lot of updating and funny weborbiter is sort of working but my one and only md now wont play any video files it either says it cant find them or there is a CSS issue. Everything worked prior to updating the core, I had to end up deleting the md just to get it back working at all

Any ideas?

Cheers
