jimbobjones Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hi, been using this install for ages with no issues. Today after moving from one tv (on component) to another tv (on RGB, don't know if this is important) xbmc4gamers is asking me to calibrate the screen. I do this, it asks to restart, then when it starts up again it is asking for calibration again, then reset and so on, stuck in a loop. Is there a way to bypass this, or maybe a config file to change or delete that will let me back in again? I notice after calibration finishes and the restart dialogue comes up, there is a notification in the top left that says 'script failed'. Asking here as its likely an easy fix for those with the knowhow! Thanks again folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosEngineer Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 FTP to the console and download the xbmc.log and/or xbmc.old.log file(s). I believe they are found in Q:\ or Q:\system. Open the log file in a text editor and look for the cause of the script error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned there is a log file that may shed some light on the problem and it might also be handy to post that here as well.

SS_Dave Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 What happens if you go back to the old AV lead? Is the Xbox set to Pal or NTSC? Last time I had a issue with XBMC4Gamers I ended up downloading a new version from rocky5's github and FTP that over to the Xbox.

jimbobjones Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's setup as an ntsc machine. Should i just rename the xbmc4gamers folder and upload a new one and be done with it? Is there any button combos to bypass the startup scripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobjones Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi, Just ftp'ed over to the box, renamed xbmc4gamers folder and uploaded a new copy. Back to square one, but after some tweaking all is well again! Have no idea what caused that glitch, but sorted now! Thanks all for your advice. Is there anything worth holding onto in the old folder, or just discard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramertheman Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I don't mean to hijack this thread but I have the same problem. I am caught in a loop requiring calibration every start up. Only I was trying to clear the xbox cache and accidently deleted the only profile that was on xbmc4gamers. I thought I created a new profile but I am unable to get out of the loop. Any help? Mods please let me know if I nshould stat a new thread. Thanks Kramertheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kramertheman The easy way would be down load a fresh copy of the prebuilt xbmc4gamers from rocky5's github and ftp that to the Xbox and over write the old version.
