XBMC - Vidoe doesn't show, command line visible - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

hi there,

have upgraded raspberry pi run latest raspbian xbmc. followed simple tutorial here http://michael.gorven.za.net/raspberrypi/xbmc , seemed install fine.

ran problems running xbmc pi user. keyboard wouldn't work when prompted enter username , password. found overcome running xbmc root (not sure if idea), found when tried play video got command line terminal came. video 'playing' in remote still worked, time ticked there no image @ all. if go xbmc main menu appears on command line.

thought might issue running root tried again pi user still same issue occurs. has else got issue. threads find on here several months old , didn't offer direct solution if has advice i'd grateful if post here.

incidentally not automatically booting xbmc. run command line.

thanks.

hello asprinwizard

don't use xbmc myself , don't know it
but

australian personal computer magazine ran
articles on pi ( september 2012 issue
under make $ 50 pc - next home theatre system etc )

, can download special image of xbmc
, load onto it's own sd card
, boot pi linux distro.

tinyurl.com/bnhymrs gets image

dl, unzip , write sd card ( win32imager
guess ).

runs stand alone xbmc system on pi
, lets run videos usb hard drives etc..
( thumbdrive etc).

don't know if (hope so).

there omxplayer think under
pi linux etc..

apc magazine have made own
linux distro pi ( pi linux )
( same procedure set on sd card ).

image pi linux @ :

apcmag.com/pilinux.htm

pi linux has 2 logins : root / apc (admin) , apc / magazine (user)

hope here helps.

fozzy
