latest pulse-eight build - channel freezing issues
#1
Hi All,

I have just updated to the latest openelec build and I seem to be having a lot of freezing and crashing issues

I have just downgraded http://packages.pulse-eight.net/OpenELEC...74.tar.bz2 to stop this happening (dated from the 2nd May).

I am just wondering what are the main things that have changed so I know where to post the error log?

Thanks all.

Same problem here.
The 9974 version is working fine. But the newest build is giving alot of problems.
Alot of crashing (mostly during channel skipping)
Stutter in video files that played fine before.
The channel numbering from the backend isn't working (tvheadend)

I have also tried the beta versions from the openelec.tv site. But they have the same issues.

Yes, at least it not just my setup. Do have some idea what changes this could be so we can raise a bug.

Thanks,

I'm running some tests, and when watching live tv, I see alot of errors in the logfile:

Logfile is filling rapidly with these errors. Is there something changed in the vdpau drivers?

When I play an 1080p24 file, it's complete unwatchable. Got this from the log:

My system is an atom 230 cpu (single core 1.60ghz) and ION1 (ION/INTEGRATED/SSE2)
My other system has exactly the same problem: atom 550 cpu (dual core) and ION2.

Both systems play these files and live tv without problems on the early version.

Here is the xbmc debug log: http://46.102.240.177/error_xbmc.log Scroll down to see the errors.

Johnnygo, I taked to the OE guys, they took accidently this outdated version version with the XvBA patches. Nevertheless, it was use to work. "interlace method not supported" may be caused by outdated tv or video database. Have you tried to delete the entire .xbmc folder?

Thanks, I will try a fresh install (no upgrade) tomorrow. And see if it has the same behavior.
