XBMC – live (10.1) logon prompt (not autostarting)

I installed xbmc on a Revo 3600 (from usb drive) and although it took a bit to get working (including creating a loop device for to mount the iso to actually install it)

I had an issue with xbmc not actually booting into xbmc. It was just booting into the logon prompt (shell)

running

aptitude reinstall xbmc-live

 

Seems to have fixed it..

ZoneMinder & Ubuntu & Logitech Webcam & mjpg_streamer & authentication

 

I got zoneminder working with my logitech 9000 camera, only by using mjpg_streamer.. the problem is that zoneminder cannot authenticate to the mjpg_streamer (not really) unless you trick it.

MJPG_STREAMER

mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 640x480 -f 6" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -c username:password"  -b

 

ZoneMinder

In remote host enter the details

username:password@remoteip

simple enough..

I got firewalls etc but when it comes to cameras.. i like to have at least a simple fallback.
