- dazex - 2011-03-01 Anyone serious in getting to the bottom of this, please provide some debug log so the devs can take a look. I just played a xvid movie without running into the low framerate issue so we know this build is capable af least. - amet - 2011-03-01 I will start deleting posts that "report" issues with no debug log. dont say I didnt warn you, more than half of this thread is useless crap ... "me too" or "+1"... you were warned that these builds are unstable, so if you decided to install them(which is not easy for an average user) then be a sport and post a log if its not working... thats all we ask for - R0MSTER - 2011-03-01 amet Wrote:I will start deleting posts that "report" issues with no debug log. dont say I didnt warn you, more than half of this thread is useless crap ...

You guys think the buffer issues are all the same, but it may or may not. I had helped someone in another thread regarding buffering, only to find that he tested one file...and that was a high def, 720p xvid. As most of us are aware, ATV2 currently can't handle high def xvid/divx. From his post, it seems like nothing was running without constant buffering. Not clear at all. As the nightly are experimental. I think it's even more imperative for those who are posting in this thread to offer something towards helping to resolve the problem. Even if it's just your machine configuration, or anything out of the ordinary that you're running on your LAN. Anyone using mySQL and such should at least make us aware of that when they post they are too having issue. Perhaps we'll see a trend/pattern once enough people write helpful post. For myself, this build is working fine. I am not saying there isn't an issue. We just need to figure out where the problem is. I am not even a dev but am finding myself already fielding too many similar questions with not enough data to truly help people out. I can't imagine how the developers are even able to juggle their work/life plus have time to work on the free XBMC development while fielding support issues. Please don't slow them down, and as a community, let's try to figure out the root issue of this and help them help us. Debug log will help towards that for sure. There has been a sticky on how to post bug reports. Do become familiar with that before threads post start to get deleted. - ky0_sama - 2011-03-01 So does anyone know what happened to the old nightlies? I had installed the build from 2/1 a few weeks ago, but now that I've gone and re-jailbroken untethered it looks like the location of the files has changed. I downloaded and installed the latest nightly build, but all prior builds to that give me a 404 file not found error. I liked the build from 2/1 because ssa subtitles in mkvs worked. Basically, I just want to be able to watch my anime and understand what people are saying. I don't need help with ssh, I'm just wondering if the old builds are available or if they've been taken down. If anyone has the den file from 2/1 that would work too. Thanks in advance, and sorry if someone has already covered this elsewhere! - Advocate - 2011-03-01 Just a quick note about the Wiki, it says that the ATV2 has only been verified to output 5.1 audio through the optical port but I've been watching movies and TV shows since day one with 5.1 audio through HDMI. - dazex - 2011-03-01 ky0_sama Wrote:So does anyone know what happened to the old nightlies?

Heh, I think it was covered in this thread that the OP suffered a server crash, thus the new nightly is at a different URL. - dazex - 2011-03-01 R0MSTER Wrote:Hello amet, It's not a known problem unless one of the developers confirms it. Right now, I don't see the buffer issue on my ATV2 so I can't troubleshoot it myself. Help me set up my ATV2 to run into the issue so I can better help you guys. - R0MSTER - 2011-03-01 dazex Wrote:It's not a known problem unless one of the developers confirms it. Right now, I don't see the buffer issue on my ATV2 so I can't troubleshoot it myself. Help me set up my ATV2 to run into the issue so I can better help you guys. Dazex, i am still at work but i can probably help you the fastest way to troubleshoot. Choose any movie you have, then choose the trailer, assuming the trailer is in HD. Watch the trailer, the first 30 seconds it runs smoothly then you gonna see audio going out of sync and the slowdown will start occuring without any pause. Now go back to main menu, and run any other movie which is xvid not HD, it will run in slow motion again, this is how i saw it the first time. With trailers should be the best way to reproduce, if not wait later when i get home Regards, - dazex - 2011-03-01 R0MSTER, I'll give that a go since the kids are napping. Never used the trailer feature so perhaps I'll run into the issue. I'll report back here. Video causing xbmc crash - Cranial - 2011-03-01 The latest episode of Top Gear is causing xbmc to crash for me. I've reproduced it 5 times, all at exactly the same point into the show. Looking at the log it appears to be something to do with subtitles, but that's to my untrained eye. xbmc version: XBMC PRE-10.0 Git:6ba831d (Compiled: Feb 27 2011) Video Details: General Unique ID : 171553619300725787600155849003464621949 (0x81100676A5EF44AAA6C3EE3F175B7F7D) Complete name : /Volumes/Qmultimedia/SD/TV/Top Gear/Season 16/Top Gear - S16E06 - Jaguar XJ Racing the Sunrise.mkv Format : Matroska File size : 1.46 GiB Duration : 1h 1mn Overall bit rate : 3 397 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2011-02-27 22:59:58 Writing application : mkvmerge v2.9.5 ('Tu es le seul') built on Jun 17 2009 16:28:30 Writing library : libebml v0.7.8 + libmatroska v0.8.1 Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=32 Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 1h 1mn Bit rate : 3 204 Kbps Width : 1 280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.139 Stream size : 1.35 GiB (92%) Writing library : x264 core 114 r1913 5fd3dce Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=3 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=hex / subme=6 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=0 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=18 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=0 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc=2pass / mbtree=0 / bitrate=3204 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 / aq=1:1.00 Audio ID : 2 Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Mode extension : CM (complete main) Codec ID : A_AC3 Duration : 1h 1mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 192 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 84.3 MiB (6%) Language : English Text ID : 3 Format : SSA Codec ID : S_TEXT/SSA Codec ID/Info : Sub Station Alpha Compression mode : Lossless Language : English Debug Log: Log File Is there a way to default subtitles to off for all video to avoid this problem? (If that is indeed the problem). EDIT Figured out how to default subtitles to OFF. Well, remembered how. This video no longer crashes so it must be on load of SSA subtitles that xbmc crashes. I seem to remember this being a problem somewhere? - dazex - 2011-03-02 So, I ran one of the trailers. Hard to find one in HD, but I finally found Inception trailer from YahooMovies. Looking at the CodecInfo OSD, I see that the ATV2 gets taxed at 100%. Once that happens, it start to seize up. But we know the ATV2 doesn't have the horse power to run non-acellerated HD content. I proceeded to try a few of the SD Xvid movies like R0MSTER and they are running fine. Taxing the ATV at about 60-75%, but no drop frames or rebuffering like I saw while playing the HD AND SD trailers. |
