Date Fix

Fantastic!

Plays what ever video file format I've tried from NAS or usb stick...

I have problem with the timezone

this fixed the time
date +%T%p -s "1237"

I've tried this for the Date but no joy ;
# date +%Y%m%d -s "20140716"

date moves a year forward every enter LOL its 1973 now

hwclock -r
Sun Apr 7 20:35:58 1974 -10.009570 seconds

also there are some gpu issues with the new aeon nox gotham edition but other than that its Perfect...

Many thanx for sharing

P.s whats the ftp username and password pls...

ssh/putty logon info
logon: root
password: letmein

This fixed the date issue

Open an SSH Session
Logon with root username & password
Type date -s "yyyy-mm-dd hh:m" (eg. date -s "2014-07-22 17:47")
Press enter
then type hwclock -wu (this will keep the time & date settings following a reboot)
Close the SSH Session

Has anyone managed to get FTP or SFTP to work with this build... I have a backup of my .xbmc folder I want to transfer but it won't work under the built-in file manager in xbmc

You tried xbmc backup addon from official xbmc repository?

[pigbait]

I haven't I'll give it a shot thanks

[pigbait]

No dice with the backup app.... I can patiently wait for the next build... this one works great as is so I'm happy I at least have something..

i used the xbmc app from the official repo to backup everything from my android installation and then restored it to the Linux version, everything went perfectly. you don't need a file manager, you can tell it to backup directly to an sd card or usb stick, and you can choose to restore directly from usb storage too

I'll need to try it again.... doesn't seem to set my custom theme I'm using with my shortcuts

remember to tick the box to back app data too

[pigbait]

Ah maybe that's what I did wrong

Backup using WinSCP

Has anyone managed to get FTP or SFTP to work with this build... I have a backup of my .xbmc folder I want to transfer but it won't work under the built-in file manager in xbmc

I have successfully managed to take a backup of my .xbmc folder on this build using WinSCP v5.17 and choosing SCP as the File Protocol then installed this version on a second box an used WinSCP to copy the addons and userdata folder to the .xbmc folder on the second box. I had to copy the advanedsettins.xml file from the .xbmc/userdata to the second box, restart the box, then copy the rest of the contents of the .xbmc/userdata to the box, then finally copy the .xbmc/addons folder to the new box, reboot and settings are the same as my other box accept the skin defaults to confluence.
