continuous md5sum error on any xbmc download from launcher

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. upgraded launcher to latest (although it still appears in the donwloads
list)
2. press to install XBMC 9.11 (or later XBMC svn after I added the repos)
3. After download has finished I get: "Error    

MD5 sums don't match. Please try to redownload"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected to have XBMC updated (I have 8.10 now), but constantly got md5
error. Even on the svn version that I tried later on.I have tried this at
least 15 times for each version with the same error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Apple TV OS 2.2
XBMC currently installed 8.10
Launcher 3.2.4 (I hope since it didn't show me an error when I updated, it
just restarted Finder but kept showing me the update as an available download)

Please provide any additional information below.

I also tried comparing the md5 of xbmc-9.11-x86.dmg with comparemd5.sh (found in
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/XBMCLauncher.frapplianc
e/Contents/Resources)
and it checks fine.

Mind posting console.log?

About the still showing Launcher download:
It's just a list of downloads. It's never checked if you have already installed 
one of the items in that list. But you 
can check the Launcher version in Launcher's 'About' menu.

It's the 3.2.4 launcher apparently. I would gladly post the console.log if I 
knew
where to find it :(

Thanks! Launcher thinks the md5 is wrong (it checks the return value of 
compareMD5.sh.

You could check what happens inside the compareMD5.sh script when it's started 
from Launcher. For that, just 
uncomment line #19:
#LOGFILE=/Users/frontrow/compareMD5.log
And /Users/frontrow/compareMD5.log should hold the log after a failed download.

Do you use a proxy or something like that?

The problem is that the md5 generated (or hardcoded) in launcher (as seen in
console.log) is the same as the one being generated by hashcalc on my pc for 
the same
file...

If I changed md5compare.sh to always return true?

Launcher fetches the list of downloads with their corresponding md5 from
http://code.google.com/p/atv-xbmc-launcher/source/browse/tags/ul-info/update_url
s.plist

After the download Launcher checks if the downloaded file has the same md5. 
This check was needed, as 
we've seen too many network problems on users ATVs.
If you download the update script (link can be found in the plist linked above) 
and XBMC-xcy.dmg manually, 
you can just execute the script with the dmg as parameter. That will install 
xbmc and prepare some other 
things.

Though I'm still curious why the md5 check fails...
You said you checked the downloaded file with compareMD5.sh and it succeeded. 
Only thing I can imagine 
which fails is the download in Launcher (which uses Cocoa API). That's why I 
asked for proxy settings..

no proxy at all in the network, don't know if my ISP has some transparent proxy 
but
if it has, it hasn't caused any problems in the past even with the previous 
update.

where do I have to store these files, and how will I run them? from ssh?

btw thanks for all the help :)

ssh into your ATV. Download the dmg (e.g. via wget), download the update 
script. Run update script with dmg as 
parameter.

After the download via wget, you might want to make sure that the md5 of the 
download is correct, but I guess 
you already did that when you checked the output of compareMD5.sh.

If you can make it, it'd be great to see the output of the compareMD5.sh script 
when run from Launcher 
(uncomment the logging as described in comment #6).

The install went great manually (I had already downloaded the dmg and just 
wgeted the
update script and ran it.

the comparemd5.log is:

-bash-2.05b$ more compareMD5.log 
Checking MD5 of /Users/frontrow/xbmc-9.11-x86.dmg against 8e2da36818aacd578951af
38c11cf93c
File MD5: 8e2da36818aacd578951af38c11cf93c
Test MD5:8e2da36818aacd578951af38c11cf93c
MD5 matches!

if that's any help. Thanks for the help :)

Looks like you did manually run the script.
The output when it was run from Launcher would be interesting...

Thanks, and glad it's working for you now ;)
