Hello,

I think I have found a problem with the "Best effort scheduling" It looks like when scheduling "Days of the Week", the days Tuesday and Saturday both have the same abbreviation of "UTS". Can anyone else confirm this? I am using PTV Version 2.

Thanks,
Mark

If I understand the abbreviations correctly, they are as follows.

UMTWHFS

U=Sunday
M=Monday
T=Tuesday
W=Wednesday
H=Thursday
F=Friday
S=Saturday

I'm still having trouble actually getting scheduling to work though, but hope this helps.

Thanks for that info!

The font doesn't match the screenshot when using reFocus in the Eden betas. In fact, the font looks different for beta 2. Is this a known issue?

Hey, I was searching the thread and came across this way back:

ghaberek Wrote:When I'm browsing the EPG and I get to the bottom and hit down again, XBMC locks up for a while but the video still plays in the background. I see these lines in the log file:

Code:
11:05:35 T:3520 M:2021871616 WARNING: CRenderManager::FlipPage - timeout waiting for flip to complete
11:05:35 T:3520 M:2021916672 WARNING: CRenderManager::FlipPage - timeout waiting for previous frame

Here is my latest log file: xbmc-20110612.log

I'm running into an issue that sounds similar to this now, using current git repo.

XBMC is locking randomly when I change channels in pseudoTV. Every time it does, I get that same FlipPage error a bunch of times and the interface freezes. I can hear the audio continuing, however. I have to xkill/killall to stop it.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Should I be opening a thread somewhere else?

Here's a sample log file showing the crash: http://pithed.org/download/xbmc.log

I've been having this problem randomly for three months... and still can't narrow down why!

is your media on a network share?

I found having xbmc change refresh rate based on content sometimes helps; but i'm starting to believe the problem is with how the content was encoded.

I would keep track of when it locks up... what show and episode... if you see a pattern chances are the content is encoded badly lets say old divx or something...

also turn off DXVA2 if enabled...

BTW the error message is very vague, which is why its hard to narrow down the problem!

- randomdestructn - 2012-01-26 02:17

Thanks! I'll check DXVA and try to remember which shows.

I can reproduce the crash easily by changing channels quickly with my config. If I open pseudotv and just hit up,down,up,down,up,down it'll crash after 6 or 10 changes.

Anything else I could be doing here to narrow down whats happening? Maybe I should run with a debugger?

Lunatixz Wrote:is your media on a network share?

No, its hosted locally.

edit:
Here are 3 more log files of lock ups. I raised the logging level so we get debug messages now. Also, I'm not seeing the FlipPage error every time, so it must be something else..

http://pithed.org/download/xbmc.debug.pseudotv.crashlog.1
http://pithed.org/download/xbmc.debug.pseudotv.crashlog.2
http://pithed.org/download/xbmc.debug.pseudotv.crashlog.3

also while testing I got a real crash, with log here:
http://pithed.org/download/xbmc_crashlog-20120125_192656.log

edit again:
Lock up is a bad description of what I've been seeing. It seems that something is just blocking the video. I just had a crash where a thin band at the bottom wasn't covered, so it's still decoding the video. However something is covering it. Also the script is complaining it can't get a semaphore for TVOverlay.... so maybe something is causing a full-screen black overlay?

i have an issue with some mp4 files, the file not play smoothie, and the audio fails, anyone else?

Atv2 remote - jcaa6479 - 2012-01-26 16:54

Anyone know if its possible to map an exit key to the atv2 remote or it is a trick on the remote to do it, im stuck in the channel configurator and cant get out other way then reboot the atv, any tip appreciatedSmile

Thanks for this great piece of a addon Jason, its in use in every box we have hereSmile

I made a few bumpers to interleave between normal content. For some of my channels, the episodes do not open very noticeably and it gives a cleaner look. These are 4-15 second generic PseudoTV bumpers using the logo.

If anyone has any use for them, I would be glad to make them available. All 1280x720 mkv 24fps h.264.
