Has anyone had any success getting the ArtistSlideshow addon to work in Helix?

This is using Kodi 14.1 and ArtistSlideshow 1.8.2

I ask because ever since Gotham it has stopped working, it initially works, then it crashes with the "ArtistSlideshow script error " message

I have done a clean install ...

has anyone got this working for Gotham? (ie 13.0)

i've checked out the gotham branch for opdenkamp (as fetzerch seems to be outdated) on git as above...

it compiles all the different pvr modules fine with the resulting addon zip files generated, but unfortunately the cmyth zip file seems to be ...

Having quite a bit of grief trying to get dev-lang/php-5.3.28-r3 to successfully compile

the build.log file is here

it seems similar to this post , however that is for php-5.3.28, not r3

I have tried recompiling sys-devel/bison-3.0.2 ....same error

Hopefully someone can assist - system details ...

looks like there was a problem with my catalog

doing the following has fixed it for me:
glib now compiles successfully

I'm now also experiencing the same issue, and have tried the above suggestions to no avail.

Did you guys resolve this?

ok when i run it, i can now see the problem (i think)

Hi linm,

Looks like you are spot on with your suggestion...

I have rerun the emerge with the --debug switch (which is a nice tip btw) and dumped the build.log file here

http://pastebin.com/gyVd4jP9

It does get stuck on the build-docbook-catalog stage

Actually I am able to reproduce the same ...

Have also booted off a live cd and run a xfs_check and xfs_repair, it found some minor inconsistencies which were fixed, however it hasn't made a difference....so i think the file system is ok

You are using the nVidia proprietary driver, which has a history of weird problems when a buggy version slips through. Can you reproduce the problem on an untainted kernel?

Just compiled the latest stable kernel, 3.10.41-gentoo-r1, have booted into the stock kernel, with no nvidia drivers ...

Hi Khay,

build.log as follows...


# cat /var/tmp/portage/app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.78.0-r1/temp/build.log

Got a very strange issue where my system gets stuck when trying to emerge one particular package, app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.78.0-r1

It completes the compile, however when it tries to complete the installation it just sits there forever at the Installing stage, without any errors


osiris ...

have been waiting a while for this, finally i can turf the mythtv frontend for xbmc....thank you :)

A few months back when xbmc-12 appeared I decided to try it again, and enabled the MythTV support. Unfortunately the available support was for mythtv-0.25.0, not the mytht-0.25.3 that's in portage ...

If anyone else runs in to the problem of "requires xbmc.pvr version X which is not available" then you need to check out the right branch.

I had XBMC installed with the pvr USE-flag, though I don't know if this is necessary for anything other than MythTV.

Do something like
git clone https ...

re-emerge it

yes it is installed and so i re emerged it.

also re-ran python-updater for good measure

same result unfortunately

thx for the suggestion

as of the past week when i run an update, portage is now pulling in jinja for some reason...i have no idea what it even does

When I go to compile...

now that i am on holidays i revisited this topic...couldn't end the year with this not being solved!

ended up ditching my dvico ir receiver and getting a cheap mce usb receiver (model 1039) off ebay which has solved the issue, as they are capable of waking a system from s3

i created the following ...

another tagger i have just stumbled upon is kid3

i use easytag in conjunction with kid3

with kid3, you can see and edit the complete field of id3 tags (such as album artist field), for which you can't access with easytag

yep, that's pretty much what i'm seeing

i'm thinking i have a similar problem....

for example when i copy a file (like a 1gb avi file) to another pc in my home via nfs, my desktop comes to a grinding halt until the copy process is finished.

i realised with my bios pressing ctrl+f1 at the main screen activates the advanced options and i can now see that 'wake s3 from usb device' is indeed enabled. why this option isn't visible by default is beyond me....anyway...

Hi Depontius,

Were you ever able to resolve this problem?

Has this situation been resolved with the newer kernels? I am on 2.6.36-gentoo

I too are in a similar situation....ie I can put my desktop into S3 but can only wake via pushing the power button.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 and ...

hmmm looks like it's amateur hour on my part.

i ran mplayer from the console and notice i was getting permission denied to /dev/nvidia0

all good now, vdpau goodness is now working ...
