UPNP - XBMC PC to XBMC4XBOX (Not Working?)

Post by mx5xm »

I just got my Xbox modded and booting into XBMC today, so far so good.

Just one hiccup. My XBMC4XBOX setup won't see my XBMC PC for UPNP. I have it enabled in XBMC 12 Eden, but when I got to my Xbox, it shows no UPNP devices (I would expect I'd have my laptop and such on the same network to show up at least).

Any advice on why I can't see UPNP devices in the "add source" fields?

Thanks


EDIT - I stand corrected it doesn't not see them, it's that XBMC freezes up before they ever load up as options to select?

Is there a non-resource intensive version I could load up that I could use and forego all the addon options, etc. I just want to be able to UPnP stream from my PC and care nothing about any other goodies.

Can you give us a debug xbmc.old.log (that is after it freezes and you restart it).

Since there are no responses, does anyone recommend an alternative to share between the 2 boxes?

Sorry I forgot about the thread. That's not a debug log, try starting your Xbox without a network cable (to avoid crashing?), enable debug, restart and plug the cable back.

A couple of things from your log - you seem have have a memory unit, try without it. Then you've got a sap:// source that doesn't seem to work, try removing it.

I take it the build from Jan 20th you're running is 3.5 Beta 2 (haven't checked the revision). Did the same happen with 3.3.3?

Will do. Running 3.5 Beta 2 because that was what was available, I would try every legacy option in reverse if I had a place to get them.

See the "XBMC4Xbox Installer" program plugin in my signature or you can search the forums for "Unofficial Builds"

Your sir are an excellent specimen of a human being :)

I installed 3.3.3 and it hooked up just fine. My kiddo is loving it!

Thank you over and over and over again.

Oh it worked? I'm surprised, but well done. That probably means there might be a problem with 3.5, I guess you can maybe wait for it to be released first or try the next beta again (I would recommend though using the "clean" method for it) and then log a ticket so it can be looked at. The plugin should allow you to have as many versions really as it will extract them in their own separate folder, so you can keep your "family production" :-) version while testing newer versions.

libPlatinum (upnp library) has issues when certain compiler options are used. Happened before, and it's showed up again. I'll fix it, but freezes /crashes would be best put on the bugtracker so I can spot them (Luckily I use upnp sometimes and noticed this myself, and then found this thread).
