Frequent crashes with the latest build, seem unrelated to playback:

Keith, see this thread for the build/packaging problems http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=104437

A build from git 53263a52f71acd86653a seems to fix the random crashes for me Smile

But investigating the new stuttering, it seems to be related to interlace handling as far as i can tell. I've got a MythTV recording that plays fine with an old 10.7 build with interlace set to auto. Most of the new builds create the stutter for me unless i turn interlace off.

I went back to the build of 18th of June and stuttering is now gone, basically any build with 10.0-9 has the problem for me, hmm...

10.0-9 crashes every time "compiling librairy" after the library update. So maybe I confused these crashes with playback. Bad timing ...

I am now under 10.0-7 and everything is back to normal: playback, interface, dolby passthrough.

I saw a little of the interface upgrade and it seems very nice !


I need an older build - chuckkay - 2011-07-06

Can someone give me a link to the 030511_atv2 or 022711_atv build.

It's the only versions that i like lately, because all newer versions had something wrong.

Ie:
Every version since June cant use remote mysql db without crashing on boot.
Every version before 022711 cant use harmony remote button Ids,
Every version after 030511 moves file mode to inside of library mode but doesn't give me the ability to set a default folder in file mode.

I would like to go back to either of those versions until all the bugs get worked out.

Thanks
Chuckkay

Hi Keith,

Updated to the latest nightly, tested mysql first. Good news -- I made it beyond the splash screen. Bad news -- nothing else really happened. :-)

Here's my log, although all I can really see in it is that it couldn't connect to the sql server.

Many thanks for your continued efforts!

Here's my pastebin. I am not able to play mkv files. I have the files on my macbook pro and the apple tv is working off of wifi. I just updated the xbmc software and it said that there were no updates available, when doing so through the update command line. I was told to change the "allow hardware acceleration" setting to "off". I did that and it would play the file for 20 seconds, then buffer then go back to the menu. Any idea how to fix this? Thank you very much

Keith, ATV randomly crashed out to the ATV2 menu as I was testing to see what sort of video playback I was getting.

I watched the first 15-20 second of an Episode of 30Rock, and there was clearly some frame skipping going on, but nothing crashed. Once I stopped and went back out to the library and was navigating around, XBMC just kind of shut off.

Additionally, Blu-Ray (1080) playback just seems to kick me right back to the ATV menu as well but don't really see much in the log.

Here's what I have.

Thanks again,

Very old, update to 10.0-9 for 11.0.0 AppleTV2,1 and turn hardware acceleration back on.

No, and if they do in my thread, I will delete the posts.
How many times do I have to state the purpose of this thread?
We're here to testing what will be the upcoming release and it's a UNSTABLE MASTER BRANCH so guess what that means? stuff will break.

So stop complaining.
You running on old builds benefits nobody except yourself. So if you chose to do that, fine, but please we don't need posts of it here.

If you only want builds with 'all the bugs worked out' you shouldn't be testing nightlies, at all, ever.

Let's all realize the purpose here, and use official builds (even if they're older, everythings up on mirror.xbmc.org)

Thanks everyone!

I also had stuttering problems with the official release of 23 June. I decided tonight that I have reached a level of proficiency that would allow me to contribute, so I read up on how to post problems and paste logs and such....

Upgraded to the 5 July nightly and the stuttering disappeared on .MKV files that last night were stuttering on the official release. Nothing to postSad / Smile

Also wanted to share a gotcha. When I upgraded to the 5 july release, the generate thumbnails setting was re-enabled during the install . I had to go and disable it to stop the immediate crashing problem.

Edit....It only seemed to solve the problem. See below post.

Ha! Let me give you your soup for that one! Bet this is the most reason of the reported crashes posted in the last couple of posts ...

thx man

So people - turn of that thumbnail generation thing! - will try to figure howto disable it by default for the next builds...


Frequent Crashes - kmatheson - 2011-07-07

When navigating in the 5 July Nightly, no video playing and no library scan occuring, within a couple of folders the system crashes and reboots back to the ATV frontrow screen.

Confluence Skin when installing nightly - ajerazzor - 2011-07-07

I have modded the confluence skin to include Party mode in the music submenu, and changed some keymaps

Can anyone tell me if these will be overwritten with a nightly build install?
