XBMC for 12.1

English Multimedia
1

I haven’t been able to find XBMC built for OpenSUSE 12.1. For 11.4, there was an RPM in Packman.
The problem is that I’ve chosen OpenSUSE for my media-box, and I mostly logged straight into the XBMC session.
The source RPM from 11.4 won’t compile - with no helpful error message. I also tried compiling it from the XBMC git, but it won’t compile, claiming I have the wrong bluetooth library.

I realize it’s possible Packman hasn’t updated completely for 12.1 yet, and I have to wait - however, I’d be really grateful if anyone could tell me a way to get it installed as soon as possible. Perhaps someone has managed to compile it?

Hi :slight_smile: I have also just updated to OpenSuse 12.1 from 11.4 and had XBMC running until now. I miss it already and would love to know how to get it working again. I too had installed it on 11.4 via the Packman repo which now doesn’t work. XBMC is the best media program I’ve ever used and I would also be very grateful for any info on how to install it under 12.1. Many thanks in advance :slight_smile:

3

It took a while for Packman to package XBMC for 11.4, so I’m presuming the same applies to 12.1.

For the impatient, there’s always building from source. Installing from Tumbleweed may also be a possibility.

4

Thanks Wrath5000 :slight_smile: I’m relatively new to the world of Linux and OpenSuse so have as much knowledge about building from source as I do about building a space rocket :wink: I will try Tumbleweed and if that doesn’t do it for me I’ll wait patiently, shivering from the withdrawal symptoms until Packman put me out of my misery :stuck_out_tongue:

5

You’re welcome, and I understand all too well :wink:

Good news everyone, I got it working. :wink:
You can install the xbmc rpm from packman tumbleweed. It only needs a couple of older libraries to get working,
The RPM itself is available here: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Just search for xbmc.
It won’t install without a couple of dependencies, which are no longer available in repos for 12.1. What you do is to search for the files it asks for in the ‘Advanced Search’ on http://rpm.pbone.net/.
To be more precise you need libmysqlclient.so.16 and libGLEW.so.1.5. So I downloaded and installed libGLEW1_5-1.5.8-11.1.x86_64.rpm and libmysqlclient16-5.1.53-4.7.1.x86_64.rpm. Both are from previous versions of OpenSuSE. Neither of them conflict with the updated versions, luckily.

Links for 64bit:

XBMC: http://packman.links2linux.org/download/XBMC/1045356/xbmc-10.1-4.34.x86_64.rpm (Likely to become outdated soon)

libmysqlclient16: RPM Search OpenSuSE libmysqlclient16 5.1.53 x86_64 rpm (select a mirror)

libGLEW1_5: RPM Search OpenSuSE libGLEW1_5 1.5.8 x86_64 rpm (select a mirror)

7

For clarity: You can install this without switching to Tumbleweed.

8

WOW! It works. Thank you so much CallMeThing you are now officially my hero :wink:

No more shivering :slight_smile:

9

Quick update: XBMC is now available in Packman. :slight_smile:

10

Yeah, but you have to install numerous libraries after.

11

I was about to post something to that same regard.

I’m also having problems with the Youtube plugin. I can sign in, but not access any content. I’m also having issues with the AnimefreakFTW plugin. I’m on openSUSE 12.1 64-bit, running the most recent Nvidia drivers installed the “hard” way.

Does anyone else have these problems?

12

Well this is probably my fault, but I cant get it running at all. it keeps shutting my X down after launching the XBMC itself. Stack trace log looks like this:

“xsessions” returns segmentation fault as well…weirdo :frowning:

Hi all,

A friend tell me to test xbmc to improve my computer for media center functions.
I install it from packman repositories on my OpenSuse 12.1 (up to date). I install both rpm listed on top too, but when I try to launch xbmc, my session is automatically closed.
I do not found interesting log in messages.
Maybe I don’t see a configuration file or other thing to do this correctly?

Please help…

My configuration: Intel i5, Asus P8Z68-V with integrated vga, ssd.

14

This is from my .xsession-errors on 11.3 with latest xbmc packages from Packman:


/usr/lib64/xbmc/xbmc.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xbmc/xbmc.bin: undefined symbol: __glewPixelTransferf

Getting the same on 11.4 and 12.1

So, it looks like something is broken, either xbmc or GLEW

15

Ok, thank you for your answer.

I found a crash log for xbmc directly in my home, I will search more.

16

Hello people.
I have similar problem with XBMC.
It crashes but not immediately only at the end of playing any film.

It started when upgraded to XBMC Frodo.
