openSUSE success (almost)

[jdarnold]

I got Boxee to compile and run on my openSUSE 11.0 box. But it asks me to + Add New. I click on that button and it asks me for a username / password. Is this the same as my boxee.tv password? Is it trying to validate it via http? Because I type it in (I got an invite from a friend) and yet it still says "Password incorrect, please try again" after a short "Connecting...." window. On the commandline I see:

An exepception occured. BXIlligalCredentials

Just a few mispellings in there:)

Anyway, I should be using my boxee.tv username/password right? Any way I can turn on more logging to see where it is failing? Failing that, I could sniff the traffic via Wireshark I guess.

[agentlame]

yeah... it's your boxee.tv username/password... not the forums one.

you can check: /tmp/[linux-user]-xbmc.log for the log dump.

Turns out there is some kind of bug in the password encoding. If I have a password that starts with a number, the login doesn't work. I changed it to start with a letter and I can get logged in.

I am experiencing this same issue on Fedora 10, x86_64. Can't really find any reason why.

I tried changing passwords and nothing seems to garner any change in behavior.

Me too... But I'm compiling from scratch on Ubuntu x86_64, I tried changing my password, no love.

This looks like where the auth bombs out in the log...

I need to take a look at boxee_user_login.xml, maybe it's foobar or something...

[ironstorm]

meh, fixed the password skin file (deleted the dashes for onclick, onright, onup, etc)... didn't help at all...

[jdarnold]

Yeah, there is a lot of noise in the log files. I don't think the skin files are your problem, as I see that and it works okay. You are using your app.boxee.tv username / password, and not your forum.boxee.tv username / password, right?

Jonathan, I posted this to your blog a couple days ago without any response, so I decided to bring it here (and possibly help out other openSUSE users):

OK, I have run 'make' and I have created the make-boxee.sh script from above (in the extracted source directory). Now what? Should I run 'make install'? I don't see a debian/make_debian.sh script anywhere on my system to be able to put your script in the same directory as it.

BTW, I just compiled version 0.9.6.4578 without any major errors.

Any direction would be much appreciated. :)

[agentlame]

just copy the entire source directory to /opt/boxee... it should work fine.

could you please build an RPM package sothat Fedora/SuSE-testers don't have to go through the compile-cycle? Many thanks in advance - I have moved from Kubuntu to openSUSE and am actually surprised that only DEB is provided.
Or, at least, please provide a direct link to the .deb-file so I can install it via alien...
