Xbian freezes/lags hard

[runesmdk]

Im running rpi rev B, stock xbian install. Running ethernet cable. Ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade 4 days ago, but it still says rc2. Didnt fix my problem though (have had it for some time now) When watching anything, youtube or network videos, every few minutes, sometimes only seconds (varies every time) the video and audio completely stops for up to 20-30 seconds and then just plays on - or it studders for a few seconds.

It doesnt say buffering at any time. Settings in youtube is locked at max 720p The rpi is connected to a switch, to where i have connected an access point. When the rpi stops i can keep streaming youtube over wifi to my laptop with high speed buffering no problems at all. I'm on 20/3mbit internet.

What is happening with my xbian?

[CurlyMoo]

Did you update the apt sources as described on the xbian.org FAQ?

[runesmdk]

If you mean that it doesnt work with the brantje anymore, then yes. It took quite some time to do the updates. I'm fairly un-linuxy, so i have a really hard time figuring it out.

[CurlyMoo]

And i meant the updated FAQ. Brantje's info is already old.

[runesmdk]

Read the faq prior to updating - . You think i've done something wrong ?

I did this:

---

SSH into the machine

Terminal sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line at the end Code: deb http://apt.xbian.org stable main Comment out all lines that point to http://xbian.brantje.com Ctrl+O to save Ctrl+X to exit

Terminal sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list

Comment out all the lines like this: Code:

### deb http://xbian.brantje.com stable main
### deb http://xbian.brantje.com staging main
### deb http://xbian.brantje.com devel main

### deb http://xbian.brantje.com/rpi-wheezy stable main
### deb http://xbian.brantje.com/rpi-wheezy staging main
### deb http://xbian.brantje.com/rpi-wheezy devel main

Terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

[CurlyMoo]

That's not what the FAQ says: http://www.xbian.org/faq/

[runesmdk]

Oh. Well. How did i miss that... Allright, doing that right away. But problem where still there on the last beta before going on to RC

[CurlyMoo]

Updates where delayed because of our apt restructuring. Could well be fixed by now.

[runesmdk]

Okay. Will give this a shot. Thanks for the quick response. And at the end of apt-get update; apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-repo; apt-get update can i add -y to make it say yes to everything under the installation automatically?

[CurlyMoo]

as long as you don't use dist-upgrade

[runesmdk]

So, i can add -y? Just dont dist-upgrade -y ?

[CurlyMoo]

Yep

[runesmdk]

Thanks

[runesmdk]

Done. Still says RC2 ?

[runesmdk]

Somewhere along the process i caught a glimpse of it saying something in the means of "xbian.list is modified. Keeping that version"

[CurlyMoo]

It tells you it will force overwrite it. Did you fully upgrade? Tried several times?

[runesmdk]

Yes it initially stated it would overwrite and i should check back afterwards, but then said after it was keeping the modified version. Didnt manage to get a screenshot as it continued. Should i try again now?

[CurlyMoo]

What's the content of the sources now (and please use markdown).

[runesmdk]

Erhm. How do i check ? And what's markdown

[CurlyMoo]

You posted the content before. Markdown is what you see where is says markdown when commenting.

[runesmdk]

Content of xbian.list? I copy pasted from a website, so i dont know what i did to get the markdown.

[CurlyMoo]

Yes, to know what you did, read the markdown link when commenting.

[runesmdk]

But it seems to be updating alot of things yet again. Apt-get update got connected to apt1.xbian.org stable release

[CurlyMoo]

That seems correct.

[runesmdk]

Allright. Then i'll see what it updates too this time. Right now its 13.1beta1 git:20140511-692cfba (Compiled:May 10 2014)

[CurlyMoo]

Just keep upgrading until nothing left to do.

[runesmdk]

Without xbmc stopping, text in system info just changed from rc2 to rc3. Aint that something. Sweet. I'll never get the hang of linux. Ever since veering out from computers at age 17 and into cars i havent been able to keep up with anything. Now i'm 27 and car mechanic with speciality on auto diagnostics and electronics on 10th year. My brain can't stuff much more information in, that i'm allready getting hehe. Thank you for support CurlyMoo :+1:

[runesmdk]

This havent solved anything. As i'm laying sick in my couch, i'm getting through a lot of youtube these days. 2 times today i had to ssh into it, and restart xbmc service. It also still studders quite badly.

[CurlyMoo]

Does that only happen with the YouTube plugin?

[runesmdk]

No. The studder also occurs on 2-3gb 720p vids over ethernet from fileserver (samba). Youtube has another problem. Especially if stopping the youtube video before its done. It just goes black screen. Yatsee remote says it aint playing anything. Ssh works fine for a xbmc restart. Den 20/12/2014 21.59 skrev "CurlyMoo" notifications@github.com:
