sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh is OLD and Hasnt been uploaded/supported in main post in over a month or more.

secondly the script should be ran like.
Code:
sudo ./nameofscript.sh upgrade
and there after

Code:
sudo ./nameofscript.sh refresh

please read first post. Actually read it cause I have no idea where you got ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh from

I already installed via compile and I'm trying to update. I copied your update code into XBMC_upgrade_live.sh and I tried running it like this:

Code:
sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh refresh

and got this:

michael@XBMCLive:~$ sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh refresh
[sudo] password for michael:
xbmc-live stop/waiting

I can't tell what I'm messing up. Thanks for your help.

ok you cant read

[SIZE=2]I said[/SIZE]./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh IS OLD AND NO LONGER SUPPORTED (PLEASE READ FIRST POST)

Don't invent scripts

first

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/XCI/xgb.sh; chmod +x xgb.sh

then sudo ./xgb.sh refresh


\\Edit if you wanted to put my second part into a script its would be

Code:
#!/bin/bash
stop xbmc-live
cd $HOME/setup/xbmc
make distclean
git reset --hard
git clean -xfd
git pull --rebase
make -C lib/libnfs && sudo make -C lib/libnfs install
./bootstrap ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --disable-crystalhd
make -C $HOME/setup/xbmc/lib/addons/script.module.pil
make -j4
make install prefix=/usr
start xbmc-live
then saved, than chmoded then ran like

Code:
sudo ./nameofscript.sh
no need for adding anything elase because thers no options in there that are supported e.g. upgrade/refresh

those are EXCLUSIVE to the script version

- X3lectric - 2011-08-23

also when you ran the first part did you run with sudo or root?
this is VERY important cause if you run with sudo the path where
cd $HOME/setup/xbmc is with sudo is not the same as when running as root.

this could account for

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

aslo sorry for the exceedgly big txt but I wnat to make sure you understand and read what and how and what your suppose to do, not invent ways of breaking what isnt broken...

Hope you get it fixed lemme know.

[SIZE=2]
Apparently support has been added to IOS/OSX and Linux dont ask me about it I dont know anything.

The main post has been updated and so as script, but I already said that no?
[/SIZE]

- X3lectric - 2011-08-26

UPDATE

all help and support on any of my topics is now passed to my blog.

sorry for any trouble caused.

- BigNoid - 2011-08-29

There is a wrong code in the first post:

Q) Some dependencies been added to script, should I start again?
A) No need, just add the dependencies that have changed or as below.
Code:

apt-get install install libboost-thread-dev libyajl-dev libplist-dev

there is an extra install there.

compile xbmc with AirPlay :-) - dimitrij2k - 2011-10-12

There is a little Bug in this really nice Tutorial ;-)

Q) Can I compile XBMC with airplay support support?
A) Yes since today apparently 23rd Aug 2011

How to:

FIRST:

Code:
Quote:cd $HOME/setup/xbmc/lib/libshairport
make
make install

SECOND:

Add this to the ./configure Line in the Script :-)

Code:
Quote:./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --enable-libshairport

FINISH:

Update with the modded script & enjoy AirPlay Laugh

- DejaVu - 2011-11-01

This is falling over @

Code:
make -C lib/addons/script.module.pil
for me.

Also the OP has an error. Under Step 1 -
Code:
cd $HOME/setup
I think should be
Code:
cd $HOME/setup/xbmc
But I think is going to go obsolete as the OP was by a now Closed Account...?

Compile XBMC with different names... - umer - 2011-11-19

Hi Experts,

I´ve installed Ubuntu 10.04, pulled the latest GIT-Source-Code and compiled successfully. (BTW, I´m a noob).

Now I would like to change the name of XBMC ("XBMC Media Center") to "XBMC-Kids" (or "XBMC-Adults"). What do I have to do for this?
It would be great, if someone could help me with this.

(2. "nested" question: How do I create a live-cd out of this compiled version?)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Greetings,
Umer
