siamsquare · 2013-01-18 18:20

Yo,

I have some problems with XBMC....

1.XBMC allways quits to windows in the middle of a movie which is annoying! Is there a way to solve this?
2.I wanna configure my Logitech Harmony one so I can go directly go at a push of a button to AUDIO and select an audio track, same with subs! Didn't find a way to solve this!

thanks

You need to provide more information about your scenario and problem. Are you saying XBMC crashes whenever you've watched a movie for a while? Are you using XBMC's default player or an external player? What type(s) of movie files are these and how were they encoded? Are these movies stored locally on your hard drive? On a server? Physical DVD/Bluray discs? Streamed over the Internet (if so, which add-on are you using)?

Enable debug logging in XBMC, play a movie and wait for XBMC to crash. Locate your debug log (xbmc.log) and upload its contents to http://www.xbmclogs.com and post the assigned URL for your uploaded log here with your reply so others can see what may have caused your problem.

regarding the Logitech Harmony question, it's relatively easy to solve if you use EventGhost macros. All you need is to map the MCE 'audio' key to a keystroke Ctrl-L and the 'subtitle' key to keystroke L.

EDIT: to make Ctrl-L work you'll need a custom keymap.xml in userdata/keymaps:

Code:

<keymap>

  <global>

    <keyboard>

    </keyboard> 

  </global> 

  <FullscreenVideo>

    <keyboard>

      <l mod="ctrl">AudioNextLanguage</l>

    </keyboard>

  </FullscreenVideo>

  <VideoOSD>

    <keyboard>

    </keyboard>

  </VideoOSD>

</keymap>

It just minimizes to windows for some reason and happens with all movies Running RC3 with win7 Ultimate. I think it has something to do when messages are displayed in the taskbar!

@ Voyager .... I will look into Eventghost! Thanks

FWIW .... I use XBMC on Win7 Ultimate and play all types of files and disks with no issues. Actually most of my viewing is from a hard wired network. What do you mean, you have a program running in the background that throws messages in the taskbar periodically? I would certainly turn that off, as well as any other programs running. Are you streaming, watching from local Network or from direct PC, HDD, Optical drive, etc.. Are you also sure you are not overheating?

Still stingy with the information and still no debug log.

just made an update to my post, as I realized Ctrl-L was not straight out of the box.

To be clear....XBMC doesn't crash....it just minimizes to the system tray like another program intervenes of some sort!
When I watch a movie it does that at least once and the movie continues playing as I can hear sound only XBMC minimizes to windows after which I have to click the icon on the taskbar to restore XBMC to full screen!
Isn't there a way to keep focus on XBMC? I already use XBMC launcher but it doesn't seem to keep focus on XBMC!
