PBS Add-on – Unable to open dll special://xbmcbin/system/

[Will]

I’m not sure if this is the right forum, or the general xbmc.org forum (I’ll try both).

I’ve found, for example, that the TED Talk add-on works; while the PBS Add-on doesn’t… at least while trying to watch Frontline.

I turned on XBMC Debugging and captured the following:

This locks up the XBMC on the Utilite Pro, and I have to manually kill/restart the xmbc proces. It may be that I’m still an XBMC newbie here… but, should I expect the PBS Add-on to work regardless of architecture? Do I need some kind of .dll or .so to make the add-on work?

Any help is apprecaited. 🙂

Thanks

Hi Will,

I have just installed PBS and played a few vids from FRONTLINE with no issue at all (on a custom image of mine for utilite pro)

I have read your logs : To my mind, libRTMP is missing on your target
Can you tell me precisely which image/distro you use please ?

Regards
Stephan

Stephan,

I’m building from your git repo on a i386 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS build host.

I’m using the following:

TEMPLATECONF=pwd/sources/meta-stef/conf MACHINE=utilite source setup-environment build

After that I run the standard “bitbake xbmc-image” command per the instructions here: http://stephan-rafin.net/blog/2013/12/18/build-environment/

I’ve just blown away the entire xbmc-image directory, and re-ran the repo init / repo sync steps.

Here’s the output:

wls@xbmc-builder:~/xbmc-bsp$ TEMPLATECONF=pwd/sources/meta-stef/conf MACHINE=utilite source setup-environment build
Configuring for utilite

Welcome to Freescale Community BSP

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation

For more information about OpenEmbedded see their website:
http://www.openembedded.org/

You can now run ‘bitbake <target>’

Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
meta-toolchain
meta-toolchain-sdk
adt-installer
meta-ide-support

Your build environemnt has been configured with:

MACHINE=utilite
SDKMACHINE=i686
DISTRO=poky
EULA=

And then, after the “bitbake xbmc-image”:

You’ll note that even though I specified “utilite” in the TEMPLATECONF line, the MACHINE= line says “wandboard-quad”.

Let me know if you need more information.

Hi Will

A few answers to your questions :

– In fact the MACHINE variable is used first time when the build/conf/local.conf file is created : Please check in the file the MACHINE value and simply edit the value if it is set to wandboard…

– For your build issue it seems you are unable to fetch (download) a source package, It may be a transient network issue, please try to relaunch the build
If the issue persists I fear they tree from which we fetch may have been reworked : I will have a look

– At last please note that you can grab a built image for wandboard quad here :

I’ll update this thread if it’s successful. Back to the original question: how can I determine that libRTMP is being included by default in the build?
