[old] Unofficial semi-nightly build FAQ/info/issues (here for archival purposes)

keith Wrote:>

Not sure, I think 48? I didn't realize the win32 nightlies were still going on (since the mac ones are stopped for now)

Test and let us know?

i will tomorrow

watching movies tonight and dont want to have my dbs out of sync and have to go through the process of reverting back. i will get back to this thread with my results

looking here
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/
the latest windows nightly is 3/15/11 so i believe they are still going on. alaska revisited is currently optimized for the nightlies which is why im anxious to switch over if i can but i hate the idea of losing my central library so i have been patient thus far

popcornmix Wrote:It's been reasonable for me, but it suffers from the slow fps problem that the previous nightlies had (introduced in "rework audio buffering" commit).

Basically any seeking is risky, and often results in slow fps video.

It seems like the slow fps doesn't occur for me with the latest post merge build like it did with the builds after the Feb 27th commit.

fyi: Today's build is the first post merge nightly that I installed so I can't say how it behaved with the post merge builds prior to today's.

R0MSTER Wrote:Keith, it is happening to me too, but i thought the problem was looked at which is why i did not report it

Usually when skipping while a movie is playing, or sometimes when playing a movie, it starts very slow, you have to exit and come back and play it again

Regards,

The same problem by me. I think that under seetings/video it is disabled hardware acceleration (even if showed otherwise). If you go there untick it and then tick it back it will work.

I just installed the latest build.

There are a lot of errors, a list of what I've noticed:

-in the series overview there isn't displayed anymore if the whole series is watched, they are all unwatched according to the displayed info (this is not the case)
-in the movies library mode, there aren't displayed any thumbs
-I can't play anything from my network share (NAS, smb protocol, password protected)

So I can't play anything anymore, because I've all my media stored on my NAS.

Furthermore, keep up the good work, this is a great project!

My setup:
ATV 2
Software version 4.1.1
Latest nightly build of XBMC (org.xbmc-031811_atv2-arm.deb)
Installed using IPKG
debug log: http://pastebin.com/Je92xCnk

(XBMC crashed at the end of this log file, I tried to play an episode)

1) Haven't seen this problem with watched/unwatched, but I suspect it has to do with SMB not working.
2) Same
3) In looking at your logs, did you notice any errors?
Because I looked at your log and all smb:// uri's seem to have a 0 or a 1 in front of them, so I'm amazed they worked at all. I would re-do your library, since it obviously got screwed up somewhere.
It probably crashed since 'extract thumbs' is still enabled. Read through old threads and apply the knowledge gained from there, this is just another incremental build. Hopefully the 'extract thumbs' bug gets fixed in merge soon.

Done! Davilla is the man. Now it's just finding regressions and getting osx back on track.

@Numus: Kindly read the first two sentences in the original post. Actually, reread the entire first post.

yeah I noticed the 0 and 1 in front of the smb uri's. Don't know where they come from. They aren't there in the db. So it's a fault in the build I would say. The db works properly with the previously build.

Thanks for your quick reply.

This is the exact problem I spoke of in the 1st post with 'remote library' on atv2 now, because of the DB version. Your DB needs to be updated.

To do that, I had to clean out the whole thing, since upgrading didn't work at the time. I have no idea weather it does now, but this is a known issue and I shouldn't of even debugged it to the length I have already.
If you find a fix, let us know, otherwise I doubt any of us can assist you until we get builds publicly that use DB48 as well.

Sorry I went by the commits and didn't see how it was finished since it appeared work was constantly going on.
