hmm nothing suspicious in the log Sad

could you enable debug logging via advancedsettings.xml http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Use...oglevel.3E

and also install gdb:
Code:
sudo apt-get install gdb

this way a backtrace will show up in your crashlog.

Problem solved (sort of)! I turned off xbmc services "webserver" and "zeroconf" (in ~/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xm). No more "ERROR: CZeroconfAvahi::addService(): failed to add service named:XBMC JSONRPC@$(HOSTNAME) type:_xbmc-jsonrpc._tcp port:8080. Error:Invalid Error Code :/ FIXME!" and no more crash at bootup Smile

But thanks a lot for your help (i might install gdb anyway just to get the backtrace if I run into problems in the future). Wonder whats broke with the webserver and zeroconf on my system (or is it broke in general)?

thats a good question. if the webserver and/or zeroconf is broken, then its a upstream bug in PVR

could you find out which one it is by enabling only 1 at a time?

You're not that special Smile
I get this too.
Installed gdb too, so I can help you guys further.
Actually, according to the message it seems as a known issue that was marked for a fix.

FYI, I am not using sound over HDMI and the following lines in ~/.asoundrc fixes the error log entry "ERROR: Unable to open audio mixer" on my E35M1-M mobo (telling ALSA to use sound card 1 instead of default 0).
Code:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}

Now that you're mentioned that.
I know it's not directly related to this thread, but can I set the output to SPDIF?
I tried every setting in the audio menu with no luck.

i'm using the xbmc pvr xvba since some days and it's running quiet well. So thanks for the good work Smile

But i have one question, how can i enable the "pause" button for live tv ? this was working while i was using the builds from pulse eight.

As far as i understood the xbmc pvr xva is using the same codebase, so i assume this has something to do with the compile or configuration option

PVR does not support time shift and skin confluence disables this button. This is the also the behavior when building pvr from the git repo. Not sure if the pulse eight build has any modifications to this.

When I manually switch modes using xrandr, the screen is instantly garbled, no matter if I'm in full screen mode or not. One funny observation is that when from an ssh session I do this:

Quote:DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm

the rendering is kicked out of the bad state. Briefly (1-2 secs or so) I then see window borders, then xbmc returns to fully grab the display just as usual.

I tried playing with amdcccle's scaling modes but that didn't change anything.

Any more ideas what to try?
