Also and my hat goes off to him use Paul's version that has been well optimised for Xbox usage .. I have 3 xboxes running at home all at 720p with the latest XBMC build and Paul's version of MediaStream running and have no memory issues at all.

Don't know if this applies to anyone else here but I'll say it in case it helps: If you're using the IR kit, unplug any xbox controllers.

I was having random lockups, found this thread, was about to switch back to PM3 to test and while on the info screen(s) getting my XBMC version and such, I remembered reading a thread quite a while ago (sorry no link and can't even find it by search right now Sad ) that suggested the controller and IR kit = lockups. I unplugged the controller and it looks like the lockup problem is gone.

For the record I was having lockups on XBMC v9 RC something or another and still on the latest T3ch build (9.04 r20848 6/1/09). My xbox is softmoded, I'm using MS Mod Lite (v2.0 wont work for me for some reason - something about incompatible and requires v2.0 skins, but no matter, mod lite is working nicely for me), I've changed the font to either Bigger or Massive iirc, and I typically have either 34 or 33mb free after a reboot.

My freeze was fairly reproducable (easiest way was to play music and then, while music plays, browse a pictures library. (all my content is on SMB shares) It wouldn't take too long to lock it up, but I could also lockup up by ff/rew a bunch in a movie. Sometimes it would lock up IN the ff/rew operation, sometimes somewhere thereafter)

Anyway, this might be of help to someone and I hope it is.


Oh and @paul - thanks for the work lightening the MS skin. Makes my xbox feel great and look even better. I like it so much I may not bother trying any of your other work
(ok, ok, I probably will, cuz I like new toys, but you get my drift Wink )
