Hello again.

Happy to report I am not experiencing any display related problems any more! Well Done. I appreciate all of the help.
I have however one question. Is there any reason that you can think of that random video files will crash after about 20 seconds. They are h264 720p files. I also played a h264 1080p file and that played fine obviously reduced to 720 but played fine. I experienced this problem with about half of my videos. This may be the wrong place to post this, I tried searching for info but didn't find anything conclusive. If this is the place I will post a log. If not I would be so appreciative if you could point me in the right direction. This is killing me... Must be missing something, but it is very late here. Thanks again.

So how's it feel on 5.1? Besides the tethered aspact is this now the "preferred" iOS version?

You don't need to - but you could. When nobody complains about any Screen positioning errors the approach from take3 will go into mainline.

I think its unrelated to this ios5.1 thing i fixed here (ios5.1 compatibility is more about how XBMC appears on the screen - 90degree rotated or not Big Grin

).

Feel free to open a new thread with all needed info (xbmc.log, syslog, crashreporter log and mediainfo - first link in my signature will tell you how to get those).

I guess you started with XBMC on iOS5.1 directly did you? So its not that you've tested these movies with older iOS versions and only the iOS5.1 version crashes right?

Beside that - did you undo these changes to the guisettings.xml you did? Thats important i think to be sure that take3 fixed it and not your changes to the guisettings.xml Wink
