Thanks for taking a look!
To answer your questions....
- XBMC version is SPMC (XBMC developer Koying's ouya specific branch of XBMC) v13.2.0, as hosted here: http://spmc.semperpax.com/. This is identical to the official Ouya store version (I believe he builds those as well for Ouya), but with all the audio codecs still enabled. I could try updating to 13.2.1 which just came out, but these are problems I've had with multiple versions of XBMC.
- Regarding the delay in stopping theme playback: Yes, I do have fade out enabled. I will try disabling that. Perhaps that's the problem. It's playing as long as it should, but just isn't fading it? Because now that I think about it, it's just cutting off the sound pretty suddenly. I greatly prefer the sound of fading the sound out over cutting off suddenly, but as is it's just cutting off anyway...so, better that it cut off at the right time, I guess. However, (I forgot to mention before) it sporadically decides to just cut off immediately and not even try to fade out sometimes and keeps doing that for a few minutes, before it reverts. It's weird.
- I have tested things with both the default skin Confluence and the Neon skin from the official XBMC repo. Problem is the same in both.
- Good idea about the theme in the root, but I just doubled checked and unfortunately there aren't any files in the root TV show directory, only folders. This was also an issue with 12.4.2. I actually can prevent the umprompted "3rd rock from the sun" theme playback by enabling a 1 second delay to theme playback. However, I would really like to avoid this if possible. There is already a significant delay in the themes playing so this setting just exacerbates that.
- I have the screensaver time set at default (3 min), but I can try lengthening it and report back. However, this particular issue was not a problem with previous versions of XBMC (but with the same directory of TV shows/themes).
EDIT: What do you mean by skin "hooks?" The script calls?
EDIT#2: I managed to steal a second from the TV watchers to check it out. Disabling fade out fixed ALL the issues, oddly. Any idea why this would be? Seems very odd.
EDIT#3:.....I take it back. It temporarily fixed it, but it's back to all the old issues again. Haven't restarted it or anything since then. Any other recommendations? I have set the screensaver up to 5 min, and of course disabled fade out.
