Problems closing XBMC using the XBMC.Quit() function with my remote - Nazgulled - 2010-02-02 Hi, I have a custom keymap.xml file where I configure a specific button on my remote to close XBMC and I do use that button a lot as my HTPC is not used only for XBMC. That button calls the XBMC.Quit() function (or XBMC.Exit()? I don't quite remember what you guys call it, but it's one of those I believe). What happens is that sometimes (more often than I would like) XBMC doesn't close at all, but the process seems to freeze. The image on screen doesn't change, pressing other remote buttons doesn't do anything, it just freezes. If I happen to press many times the buttons on the remote, it will eventually stall (at some extent) my computer as the led screen on the PC case I have scrolls the time and that just freezes too after too many remote presses. However, in both situations, just a XBMC freeze or if the led screen also freezes, I normally can just press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring the task manager and kill the XBMC process. But this is annoying... I'm using SVN but not a very recent version, just a couple of revisions after Babylon. This was not happening previously to Babylon where I was also using SVN versions but hadn't updated in while until Babylon came along. Any reason for this behavior? How can I properly close XBMC using my remote without this problem? - kulprit - 2010-02-02 Mine is doing the same thing, but not all the time. Also mine does freeze at the same frequency if i open the shutdown menu using "s" and choose quit or exit. Been doing it for a long time now and assumed it was something to do with my computer. - SikeMo - 2010-02-02 Ditto here. Thought I was the only one. I'm using Win7 64-bit. - Seoras - 2010-02-02 Ditto, and yeah I just put it down to the new Windows DX builds etc and didn't think too much of it. For me it only does it after I come back from a Suspend. After the computer wakes up, XBMC looks normal, looks like it is working etc.. however playing a movie or such will cause a random freeze.. could be minutes, could be seconds... so I've gotten into the habit of quitting and rebooting... but yeah trying to quit causes the hang.. Now I just quit XBMC before I suspend Windows 7 32Bit, Nvidia graphics drivers, HDMI out. I know how unhelpful this is without logs and what not but I'm at work right now. I'll see if I can try to dig something useful out of the eventlog and xbmc log tonight. - Nazgulled - 2010-05-07 Any XBMC developer care to provide any info about these problems? Can't find anything about them o Trac... Should I just post the problem on Trac to get the proper attention? - Hitcher - 2010-05-07 I used to get this every so often but after finding this thread (HOW-TO relaunch frozen XBMC w/ Remote) I've adjusted it so that it firstly tries to close XBMC normally and then after a second or so it runs the 'kill XBMC' command in case it's crashed. - nc88keyz - 2010-05-13 i have this happening too. and have a touchscreen htpc case, as well as a 73" DLP on hdmi output. I had a 8600GTS at the time. I have since upgraded to a 5770 ATI card and all of my power management issues have gone away, suspend , wake up, and of course bitstreaming DTS_MA and night and day difference from the onboard sound chip on my P5NE-Sli ASUS board. Anyways, 10.4 Catylyst driver solved every issue i was having with suspend and quite on XBMC> I have mapped my pause button to the kill xbmc command as well. That thread is great. I cant say for sure wether it was the nvidia card or just upgrading to the ssch builds , but be careful with that too, script issues and library issues. as to those who are freezing, are you on ATI or Nvidia graphics. - Nazgulled - 2010-05-13 I'm on Nvidia, GeForce 8300 (onboard) to be exact. - topfs2 - 2010-05-13 Nazgulled Wrote:I'm using SVN but not a very recent version, just a couple of revisions after Babylon.

We have released a stable and on our way with a new stable since your version. Backup your userdata and install a new one, if it to exhibit the problem, wipe the userdata and try again. then follow correct procedures in my signature for a bugreport. - Nazgulled - 2010-05-13 I should have updated that part of the post already, I'm actually on Camelot, or maybe a recent SVN after that. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem and post a debug log... |
