Run this in ssh console and post url you get.

Code:

paste /var/log/messages

It should work according to my knowledge.

Any other ideas or places to ask?

I just registered to answer this question as I spent hours trying to figure this out, the correct syntax for autostart.sh to automatically start a script is the following :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
(
sleep 8;
xbmc-send -a "RunAddon(script.whatever_your_script_name_is)"
)&

notice the ; and after the "sleep" command.

also, I played around with the sleep seconds and the lowest you can go is 8, anything shorter does not give XBMC enough time to boot and gets ignored (in my case anyways)

Instead of autostart.sh and sleep use tips from this thread: http://openelec.tv/forum/90-miscellaneou...rts#124138

I need about 18 seconds and in case anyone stumbles across this post xbmc-send is now kodi-send.
