Since installing the XBMCbuntu image at the weekend to my machine, everything seemed to work flawlessly and it felt an almost seamless transition from a scratch build (I had to do this method, as my Ubuntu proper O/S install wouldn't upgrade to XBMC Eden and I broke a lot of stuff, so rebuilt)

However, I am now getting an issue where during playback, the audio stops and the video playback is either stuttering, slowing playback (slo-mo) or is repeatedly pausing and unpausing.

Turned on debugging, and looked at the log file.

17:20:16 T:3016619792 DEBUG: SECTION:UnloadDelayed(DLL: special://xbmcbin/system/players/dvdplayer/avcodec-52-i486-linux.so)
17:20:16 T:3016619792 DEBUG: Unloading: avcodec-52-i486-linux.so

I am assuming it relates to the audio, which is then trying to keep the video in sync.

So I logged onto the SSH terminal, and restarted also with:

Code:

sudo also reload

Then retried playing the file (a web stream in this case, but has occurred with files in my local video library as well) which worked.

Many thanks

Dan



p.s. I am getting endlessly repeated lines of the following in the debug version of the log file. Any clue why?

17:20:13 T:3016619792 DEBUG: OnKey: space (f020) pressed, action is Playlist
17:20:13 T:3016619792 DEBUG: SDLKeyboard: scancode: 41, sym: 0020, unicode: 0020, modifier: 0

This issue reoccurred, but when I tried the same "fix" it didn't seem to work... Reboot did mind

I think I didn't look through enough of the log file. Scrolling further up is a section of entries as follows:

17:19:45 T:3016619792 DEBUG: ------ Window Init (DialogSeekBar.xml) ------
17:19:45 T:3016619792 DEBUG: SDLKeyboard: scancode: 41, sym: 0020, unicode: 0020, modifier: 0

Every 2 or 3 repeats of this section, there is an additional line below:

17:19:45 T:3016619792 DEBUG: CGUIAudioManager::Initialize
17:19:45 T:3016619792 ERROR: Unable to open audio mixer

I will try to get a clean log file with only 1 video playback included that has this issue. It seems to occur on most video's I play now, so hopefully won't be hard to reproduce.
