Multiple Issues with 3.5 (and 3.01 for that matter)

First of all, I love this skin. Great work! But I've had problem upgrading from 3.0. Everything is fine on 3.0, but I get random lock ups when I upgrade to either 3.0.1 or 3.5. It usually happens when I select an actor from the info screen of a TV show or movie. I am using a Harmony Remote in conjunction with a iMon sensor that sends keystrokes. It will occasionally lock up doing other things though, like navigating through file mode. It will usually happen after XBMC has been running for at least half a day or so, and is completely random when it occurs, so I haven't been able to recreate the lock up when I have debug logging selected, because I am obviously not going to use XBMC for long periods of time with logging enabled. I do not have get any lock ups with 3.0, or any other skin I've tried.

I also have an issue, specific to 3.5 where I get a "randomandlastitems.py script failed" message upon starting XBMC.

I know without a log, that there is probably not much help anyone can provide, but I'm open to any ideas. The locking up is an issue, because I have to grab my bluetooth keyboard, do a ctrl-alt-delete to bring up task manager and end the task on XBMC to get out of it.

PC is a custom built Athlon X2 5600+, with 2GB, RAM and a GeFore 9500GT PCI-E video card, running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.

Do you have MovieSets addon enabled?

I don't suppose you have the moviesets add-on installed? That's notorious for system hangs.

EDIT - Haha! Ninja'd with exact same post! Smile

Sorry but no Debug Log means no help.

We can't go guessing what the issue might be

Yeah, I'm doing the best I can with that, but this is a device that the entire family uses, and they are not going to watch videos with the On Screen display that runs when debug logging is on (nor am I for that matter). If it was something that happened when I did something specific every time, then getting a log wouldn't be a problem. It often won't happen until XBMC has been running for hours.

Maybe there is a crashlog located in your userdata folder from last time.

Thanks, that helps. No crashlog though. I only seem to get those when the program physically crashes, and I get thrown back to the desktop with a Windows Message Box saying the program has crashed. It's rare that happens. Hiding the onscreen stuff helps.

Any ideas about the script error on startup that only happens with 3.5? Do you need a debug log for that as well? If so, here's one. This happens every startup:

That doesn't have the lock up in it, just the script error.

Regarding the RandomItems.py error, try this.

No go with that script. I tried it anyway, but the error message is saying the script is randomandlastitems.py

Sorry, didn't notice the exact name, I just saw "randomitems..." and assumed it was the infamous RandomItems.py error.

Okay, I reported the bug in the thread you suggested, but was told this isn't a script error, that there is a problem with a smart playlist. I never created any smart playlists, at least not knowingly. What I did create was custom menu items that point to a video folder. Last night I created two more, and now when I start XBMC I notice in the log that this randomandlastitems.py is being generated for all three of the custom menu entries. They directed me back to this thread. Any ideas on what is happening? Here is the debug log code. Oh, and I get this error on start up or every time I update the library.
