thx for willing to look into it.

when I get back home tonight I'll try to collect the information.
I'll also try it with Camelot to see whether it may have changed between the two releases.

Hi Beenje,

coming back to the problem with the corrupt output when displaying jpegs
in XBMC on a Mac Mini. Ok here are the facts

I'm running XBMC 9.04.1 on my Mac Mini (PPC) 1,25 Ghz 1GB Ram and ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB (newer PPC mac minis have 64MB).

My Pictures are all JPEGS and are stored on a Network Drive. I created a SMB source in XBMC which points to the picture folder on the NAS.

When I go to pictures in XBMC and select a picture from the list, the preview is ok. (See attachment). If I now display this picture by double clicking on the entry I get following corrupt output (see attachment).

The Output that you see is not static, some pixels change when I move the mouse, so I think it doesn't have to do anything with the JPEG File itself , but it is rather some issue with the graphic card.

Earlier this day I was able to see a different picture correctly but I couldn't reporduce it.

Here are the attachments:

Here you can see the preview

And here are the media information

Would be great If you can have a look at this.

Thx again for all your work and time you spent already for this prodcut.

Regards Still

Thanks for all the info Still.

I reproduced the problem (I have the same mac mini btw )...
Not linked to smb (pictures were on my local drive).
It seems to happen with "high" resolution pictures.
Can't say more for now... Doesn't look like it's gonna be easy to solve.
Any idea is welcome

Hi Beenje,

nice to hear you have an early mac mini too ... I was feeling like Wall-e .. but now

Thx for having time to investigate this.

2 things that are for me somehow suspicious and may give you a hint

- The corrupt output looks pretty terrible, but I think I can recognize that actually it doesn't display the image itself but the screen from where you initially triggered the display of the picture. In my case it would be this screen: Image List with preview.

When moving around the mouse you can recognize that the mouse pointer is is also displayed too, but also very corrupt and duplicated. -> doesn't this point to a low-level interface-problem with the display driver ?

- The other thing is that the display of pictures is sometimes working. But the next time I start XBMC the exact same picture doesn't work.

I doesn't look like it has to do something with Skins as I experienced this issue already with several other Skins.

Hope this helps you a little bit. In the meantime I will try to find out, how you can reproduce a working picture and a wrong picture.

Thx, Still

BTW: I like Camelot very much, it looks like a lot of things have been improved. There are still some bugs which I experienced, will post them soon. I'm looking forward to contribute here.

No luck so far. I've created a trac ticket: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7724

[StillSchweiger]

ok, let's see, If some body will pick it up.

[Beenje]

Fixed in svn r24846
Should be fine on mac with ATI Radeon 9200 or ATI Radeon X1600 (where I saw the problem).
A beta with that fix should be out soon, so test please

Thanks to jmarshall and elupus for helping me on that!

[StillSchweiger]

hey thx to Beenje and the team. You made my day!

To tested I guess I would need to compile svn r24846 on my own or is there some Alpha release scheduled soon? It is pretty hard to get some SVN builds for the MAC ppc.

A Beta release is gonna be out very soon. I was referring to that one.
Just check xbmc.org and when it's there, you can grab it and test.

[StillSchweiger]

Just saw it after I posted my reply. Great ! What a timing.

I'll test it tonight.

Thanks again and if there is a way I can contribute to this project please let me know.

Hi Beenje,

fix works perfect for me (MAC OS X 10.5.8, Mac MINI 1,25 ATI RADEON 9200 & XBMC Camelot Beta 1).
I tried the SlideShow succesfully, too. I still need to test the "Ken Burns Effect", but I don't exepct any issues here.
