Hang on loading anything from Navi-X networks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. What is the technical error you are experiencing?
Trying to load any listing from Navi-X Networks causes a hang.  XBMC either 
crashes on its own or I have to kill it.

2. What steps will reproduce the problem?
Navi-X -> Navi-Xtreme Portal -> Navi-X Networks -> TV Shows -> Sports -> ESPN

3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to eventually get a listing of shows.  Instead I get a "please 
wait..." message that never goes away and can't be cleared.  Sometimes XBMC 
crashes and sometimes I have to kill it.

4. What version number of Navi-X are you using?
3.7.8

5. What media center platform, version and operating system are you using?
XBMC on OS X 10.6

6. Please provide any additional information below:

Managed to do it....... I ended up deleting navi x and re-installing it then 
the code.google playlist file was there I changed it to what you said and navi 
x works and the playlists are there but as the other guy said none of the links 
work.

Hi Giovante
Did you notice that the playlist that madwiz maintains is old. It does not 
update at all eversince I am using it. Now the latest links in that list are 6 
days old, nothing added after that. Although most of them work but they are 
old. So no fix I wouyld say.
Has anyone been able to or knows how to access Playlists in general?

Thanks all.

There can be no REAL fix to get the official Navi-X playlist working since they 
are having issues! Only THEY can fix it.  What I posted in #62 is something 
that will work right now instead of causing Navi-X to hang, which is something 
a lot of people were experiencing.  Also once the official server is up again, 
for those of you that have switched server according to my instructions, your 
list should auto sync with the official one.  You should also see improvement 
in the load speed of the list.

BTW: All credit for this goes to WHUFCLEE of XBMCHUB (I'm just re-posting his 
instructions in #62, that's all)

Everybody needs to have patience until Navi-X themselves fix the problem.

Hello all,

My first post so please be gentle... :-)

I, like many others, can´t find the settings.dat file (running windows and 
Openelec and cant find the file on neither of them) so i did some 
troubleshooting. It looks like the settings file is created _after_ the first 
time you click on "Navi-Xtreme Media Portal" menu. Since Navi-x 3.7.8 never 
times out, the settings.dat will never be created.

On my Openelec system i installed Navi-x 3.7.6, verified that settings.dat was 
not there, then i clicked the media portal menu, waited for the timeout, and 
noticed that the settings.dat had been created. I dont know if this is a 
completely valid settings.dat since it could not contact the Navi-x server, it 
might only contain some parts of it. I tried to copy that file to my Windows 
Navi-x 3.7.8 but it did not work. But i suppose that if you have had it running 
in the past (before Navi-X server went down), then you should have a valid 
settings.dat file which you can modify according to suggestions at #62.

So, does anyone have a Windows Navi-x settings.dat file to share? It would to 
interesting to see if only adding the settings.dat file and modify it with 
information from #62 solves the problem.

I would just use Openvisionnetworks.com for now or either p2p4u(dot).net for my 
sports,a lot of popups!! but the links work & some TV shows stream live there 
also,but You can use post 62 also, I have done it to change 30 day trial 
periods on software it works!!

There should a be a timeout for connection in the Navi-X Addon or a way to 
cancel the attempted connection.. Those are shortfalls of the addon.

I can now access the portal but when I go into networks and choose any tv 
option or movie option it hangs on please wait. Also when I search for certain 
tv shows it will find what I'm looking for but when I select an episode (for 
example...fringe se01ep02) it shows loading then does nothing. 

Are other people experiencing this? I am new to Navi x (only installed Xbmc 
when navi x was down) and have never been able to use the program properly

Please help

Still not working for me. 

1 question I have though is in the YouTube video, when navi x is loaded up it 
looks very different to mine. When I load mine up it just shows 5 thumbnails 
(portal, history, faves, my xbmc and updates) if I change this to list, still 
only the 5 options in a list. 

With the YouTube video, when he accesses navi x it shows a list with a load of 
different folders I.e. navi x homepage and other categories. how do I change my 
navi x to do this?

Cheers

Original comment by nikkyb...@googlemail.com on 8 Sep 2013 at 2:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is because you are using the latest version of Navix-x. If you want all 
those folders back, revert to any older version of Navi-x by clicking 'Updates' 
and sleceting an older version.

Original comment by wan...@gmail.com on 8 Sep 2013 at 3:37

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Tried that but it every time I install the older version and reboot, it loads 
up the newest version

How to fix on the Raspberry Pi :
1. Mount your SD card on another Linux Machine.
2. Do a file search on your SD card for settings.dat
3. Copy the file path
       Next we are going to edit the file, but we need to do it as a root user
4. Open the Terminal and type
        sudo gedit PATH TO YOUR SETTINGS FILE/settings.dat
5. The follow the instructions from post #62 = see below
{{{{
   3) Replace the first line of the file (yours will probably say http://navi-x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Playlists/home2.plx) with http://whufclee.googlecode.com/svn/Navi-X/pluginhomepage.plx
   4) Save the file
   5) Start XBMC and Navi-X
   6) Try the entry that says 'Latest Entries Madwiz92'.  Thats the one that works for me.
}}}}

When I click on download in Navi-X (3.7.8) the system always hangs whilst

Anybody have a (noob) solution?  Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue here as well!  No matter what I try to watch on 
Navi-X I receive and error of some form.  I've been looking at a number of 
sources that says that there are server issues, but I haven't been able to 
confirm them from an official source.  I'm running 3.7.8 on a mac that wasn't 
upgraded to Mavericks so I don't understand the issue!!!  Needless to say it's 
frustrating!

I'm watching live TV using xbmc as we speak, so no it is not toast. Their 
webservers are crap, but it does work.. Sometimes.. If only the search function 
wouldn't time out it would be perfect. I really hope they make mirrors for 
these files as someone previously suggested.

I keep getting this exact same problem on all 3 versions of navi. I wish that 
devs would implement timeout for things that don't load or don't play. 
Sometimes getting "please wait" when trying to search using navix and it 
doesn't go away and no way to kill it on android box linux build then I have to 
power down the box and wait 3+ minutes for it to turn back on. 
Or same problem with some streams you get Loading... Bottom left and spinning 
circle with Working on right indefinetly
