Still cant play DTS FLAC's?

Not yet, soon. We've asked team member DanielaE if she would help with that. If she does great, if not we'll add. Either way it's on the list.

DDDamian, I notice that when using the "Transcodeto" advanced option (set to AC3), one has to also have the pass-through for that enabled. I would think this should work regardless.

Cheers buddy.

There's some very funny thing with these latest builds. If I do a clean install of @DDDamian's AE Final, XBMC crashes after the splash screen as well. When I install it on top of the April 25 build, it works fine, except that the backgrounds are missing.

It all points to the SQL databases, which are created after the first run ... after a clean install.

I installed the nightly of May 10th and I have problems when playing FLACs with PAPlayer. The music plays fine but XBMC becomes very sluggish, almost unresponsive.

The file is 88.2kHz but plays as 48kHz.



1.76fps is a good number, most of the time it's around 0.50fps.

In the log I found the following lines:


Is this a bug or I'm missing some kind of arcane advancedsettings knowledge?

With DVDplayer I have no speed problems.

So, i think it should have been here.

I've tested XBMCSetup-20120510-0404824-master.exe, and result is...

First is a log (without debug) of my own build of today, testing a file here

As it can be seen almost at the end, there is a buffer underrun.
I've been obliged to push the reset button of my PC.

After, i've tested the nightly build (in case something was wrong with my build).
I've only gone to system -> system -> audio, device message was "error, no audio device". Wasn't the case before, and accessing to this setting, no response from XBMC, i've been obliged to reset again my PC.
The log file (still without debug) is here.

I've made exactly the same, except debug was enable. This time, XBMC crashed.
Log file is here.
Crash dump is here.

Try to start a video this time.
Log file is here.
Crash dump is here.

It seems that if debug is enabled, XBMC "simply" crash, otherwise, it's not responding (but PC is not frozen), but i've to reset the PC.

I've seen a lot of commit in git, wich may be related to this problem. I'll try to build a new version later.

Can you be more specific about optimizations ? Are not they on by default in release setting ?
To build, i follow the wiki tutorial, and simply launch "BuildSetup.bat" in Win32BuildSetup.
If i make my own build and don't use nightly, it's because i've modified it to have frame decoding mt in video.

May 11 nighly build still crashes on my PC (Win7, Xi-Fi sound card). Looks like this time it's not SQL, but UI/skin backgrounds
not getting found or loading.

I'm a bit puzzled how people get the latest master build from @DDDamian or even a nightly to work. Can't imagine my set-up is so different from others.

@loekf, same here, don´t have sql, i compiled new build for Windows with latest commits, but don´t work, same trouble, crash after the splash screen,...
Put files sql in database folder, don´t solve the trouble.. I think it´s happens with all users.. When I compiled latest Gnif windows version from Gnif git, run fine, there are other situation, but run start fine.

@DDDamian, this happens to you too I tried nightlies 05.11, same troubles.. fresh install of it, portable mode run, don´t solve too.

@Wanilton & loekf - same here. Can't just be unlucky, if others are successful.

I compiled XBMC Frodo, Windows version, with AE integration, but this build don´t have latest commits, download here.
I have only change the code , trouble to solve string audio DTS-HD, don´t appears before, and work fine after a little change, all audio AE adjust with strings in settings.

This build run fine, but have issue is thumbnail related - the first time you use it will be quite slow, and thereafter a little slowe, this is more info for developer try solve recently crash in XBMC frodo - Windows OS.

This build run fine with diversous add-os, incluse random items script, for me no related too..

For me I think commit very recently cause this situation, definitely not an AE issue...because this build prove AE work fine.

Sorry for my poor english..
