Is there an easy way to list all the addons that are in use/enabled? There are very few addons that I have currently installed. But some skins (and addons) that I tried earlier seem to have installed some that are still active after skin unistall. I'm thinking maybe I should do a fresh reinstall of XBMC?

I'd love to tell you how to reproduce the problem but I still haven't found out what triggers it. But looks like it's something that stays in memory (or running) during and after XBMC crash/restart and causes another restart after a short time. The system seems (more) stable after complete reboot and then straight to mp3 playing, I didn't realise it before. I'll have to do more tests and do just one extra thing before and then play mp3s and see what happens.

I already removed one addon (script.cinema.experience) that was running during one of the crashes, I think that also came with some skin. I think Confluence skin has no use for it?

Best would be for us:

Start with a completely clean profile and test some days with just pure confluence.

Looks like it may be LCDProc that is crashing my system, here is a similar story:

Disable it and try further. Always provide all logfile when something happens, only that way we can track all the bugs you hit.

I already cleaned my XBMC profile dir and reinstalled (I did keep some old config files). I'll first try LCDProc's lcd.xml changes mentioned in the link and check if that (or reinstall) helps and then switch back to my old lcd.xml and check if the mp3 crashes return.

Can I downgrade to alpha3 versions (approximately 30/8/2014) ?

I haven't been following the updates lately as my machines at home have been working fine.

However the last few updates I have done I have noticed that the playback using the last few Helix builds the playback is jerky. No error or anything.. just not a smooth playback.It is just as if I switched from drop/dupe audio to drop/dupe video to match audio.. As the audio is nice and smooth but the video is jerky as heck.

(no logs atm as I am at work.) Just wondering if that is a known problem or a known setting that needs to change. If not then I will make some logs available. (running the latest build as of yesterday with the experimental drivers on a Haswell i5)

No idea ... without logfiles. You don't run xorg edgers - do you?

Hi,

this is a xbmc debug log snippet of a pause while playing h264 content, which
lasted several seconds: http://pastebin.com/aFQy1aGU - no errors in syslog.

I compiled xbmc using FernetMenta´s saveme repo
https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/commits/saveme
with tree 8888061125c36226fb41239908bea0974713219b
but I saw the same error using FernetMenta´s master repo during the last weeks.
Other components are:

- libva 1.4.0
- libva-intel-driver from https://github.com/fritsch/libva-intel-d...mits/ppa14
- xorg 1.16.1
- xf86-video-intel 2.99.916
- mesa3d 10.3.0
- ffmpeg 2.4.2 with xbmc patches from https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/commits/release/2.4-xbmc
- Intel® Core™ i3-4330T
- 32bit system: Linux xbmc 3.16.3 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 15:22:04 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux

- xf86-video-intel 2.99.916 <- remove that.

https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/...d7392eb6b7

It's not even able to correctly sync to the Display.

I already tried that from Oct 4th until this evening, no success.
When I updated to kodi "saveme" today I again updated the driver,
do you think I should try "saveme" + xorg driver 2.99.911?

**fritsch** · 2014-10-07, 22:00

This 916 driver is not able to sync to the display clock - not sure why you insist in using it.

In Openelec build 4.2.0 there were loads of people with problems regarding to unexplained stutering. this was mainly caused by the following change:

* update to xf86-video-intel-2.99.916

With version 4.2.1 this is resolved by the following change:

* downgrade to xf86-video-intel-2.99.911, this solves stuttering while playing movies and hangs and stuttering in the XBMC Gui

Maybe this is usefull information?

I think I said exactly the same a post before your's and even linked the commit.

Yes you are right. I wanted to confirm you are right. No harm intended.
