Error while installing xbian in raspberry pi 4 8b RAM

[venkatmakam]

Hello, I tried to install xbian in my raspberry pi 4.while booting it throws error This board required newest software. Also i used noobs xbian image.but xbian os is not listed in noobs os list. Any help?

Which image did you used? I never seen this message When does this message appear? And, you have to use PINN and not NOOBS

https://community.volumio.org/t/raspberry-pi-4-8gb-cannot-install-this-board-requires-newer-software/39536 If this is is the message you get, firmware files are too old.

I have to update this package (those files are located in xbian-package-firmware) and new image has to be build at Friday

Yes exactly, same error i am facing.

Ok, if you have an older Pi (2,3,4(<8GBRAM)), you could put this sd card into this one and update the package xbian-package-firmware (available about in one hour). After updating this package everything should be fine

I have RPI2.I will try tomorrow.Thank you. Also i used the PINN installer from https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files/release/XBian_by_PINN_3.3.4_rpi.img.gz/download,but i did not see xbian either in general or any other tabs. Am i missing something?

Please use PINN from our download page, but AFAIR PINN should support XBian out of the box though.

Oups, seems that the maintainer of PINN haven't updated this profile for a long time

cat os.json 
{
  "name": "XBian_RPi3",
  "version": "stretch",
  "release_date": "2018-01-12",
  "kernel": "4.9.76",
  "description": "XBian is small, fast and lightweight media center distribution",
  "url": "http://www.xbian.org/",
  "group": "Media",
  "username": "xbian",
  "password": "raspberry",
  "supported_models": [
    "Pi 2",
    "Pi 3"
  ]
}

Pi 4 is missing. So have to update our version as well

[venkatmakam]

Yes i saw rpi4 missing.I thought of adding manually,but could not tried.:) So if i want to install xbian along with PINN i need to wait till image is updated. But mean while i can use the solution,for installing xbian alone.Am i right?

[mkreisl]

Yes, that's the standard way.

And, having just updated XBian's PINN version to 3.3.4.2, should work now again with Pi4 again (but oc NOT the XBian, bc the image files required for Pi4/8GB are available at end of this week)

Hi i did xbian-package-firmware in RP2 .But i am facing same issue in RPI4.

You made an update error:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-firmware

is the correct command sequence. 9-1594745601 is the latest firmware package, but you still have 9-1575993042 installed
