Channel stopping for no reason!
rafaelvieiras opened this issue · 15 comments
I'm having some problems:
- Most channels are working, but when entering the channel 9, the addon off! I do not know what might have been, but separated the last log, starting from the moment I changed the channel. Here: http://pastebin.com/duuYX3xk
- Another mistake that I could see, is that sometimes I change to a channel, it starts the program in the beginning, even if I change again and go back to him, he comes back to start the program at the beginning.
Thank you.
Log incomplete. More info please, what type of channel is it? what version of XBMC are you running? What OS are you running? Are you using settings/channels from a previous pseudotv install? Try deleting your addon settings folder and start with a fresh settings2.
I see a lot of errors trying to play .rmvb files, infact all 49 videos in that channel/playlist fail to play! As stated above, deleting your addon settings folder and start with a fresh settings.
Many apologies for my failure to provide information!
All logs were made from scratch. I deleted the folder within "addon_data" before performing the tests.
- XBMC Gotham in Win 8:
Error # 1: All channels 1-8 work perfectly, when I get to channel 9 it just closes!
LOG FILE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6CqH9x7tvOmQVdvc3NfSHlPeG8/edit - OpenELEC 3.95 in Raspberry Pi:
Error # 2: Whenever I change the channel the program starts from the beginning, no matter which channel, it happens to everyone, he never initiates the correct time is the time line, always at 00:00.

Thanks for your attention!
At a quick glance the Addon seems not to be able to access some files on "D:\Videos\Seriados" I'll have another look when I get some more time. Have you cleaned your library lately to remove deleted videos from library DB?
As for the Raspberry Pi, I could not access the log file for that but it sounds like the addon is not writing the time value to the settings2 file, Make sure the settings2 file has full write permissions.
- PC:
Thanks, it looks like the # 1 error was caused by failing to update the xbmc library. updated and is now okey! - Raspberry Pi:
Error # 2 not given to see the log file? I gave 777 permission to settings2.xml and nothing has changed, remained the same problems starting the show from the beginning.
It does not reset the channel at the beginning, just resets the show that's on time to start it.
I think we are recording the time usually in settings2, but it does not access the video progresses to where it was. He goes straight to the beginning of the episode I was already going through.
Yes, I cant access the link to the log you posted on the RasPi. Hopefully the log will show something because I don't have a Pi to run any tests on.
This is my raspberry log: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6CqH9x7tvOmaVlWaUc0RkwxQ2M
Can access it?
No, I can access the page but it is empty.
Edit: scratch that I got it.. Forgot to sign in to google :)

Yes, I got it. I had a quick look and saw no obvious problems but I will have a good look when I get some free time later today.
Thank you! The place I most use XBMC is on my tv with RaspberryPi! This will save me! :D
Please make sure your media is scraped/updated properly, especially the runtime/duration *(very important)
I see the VideoParser running on quite a few files and returning some strange results..
eg. Dexter's Laboratory-O Laboratorio De Dexter S01E55_S01E55.avi
DEBUG: AVIParser: Duration: 441 (which is 7.3 min)
If you library was scraped properly the VideoParser should only run on directory type channels (not scraped!)
Also the strange result of the VideoParser could be due to low memory (buffer full/no space for buffer)
To rescrape you could refresh the tvshow (Refresh for all episodes = yes), (Ignore and refresh from the internet = yes)
To check the videoDB for correct runtime/duration, open MyVideos78.db with SQLite manager or similar..
episode (duration is C09) * all episodes should have a value here. (value in seconds)
movie (duration is C11) * all movies should have a value here. (value in seconds)
I see no script errors. So if you could perform some self updates/tests that would be good and it would cross off libraryDB incomplete/errors.
Also I read that local subtitles can cause the video to start from the beginning but didn't see any .srt files being loaded in the log!
As I said I don't have a Pi and don't know it's limitations, so I'm relying on you for some feed back :)
All is well with the library!
The same library that I use in win8 use in Raspberry. (win8 = location | Raspi = via Samba)
Perhaps the problem could be low memory! Raspberry Pi has 512mb for everything! I have noticed that it does not start or does not run videos in the background.
The ideal would be to force him to run the video straight after opening it at first, making it far ahead was marked before. What did you think?
From your log I do see problems with your library, mainly duration of videos as stated above!
If all durations were correct in the library you wouldn't have to run the VideoParser module which loads the video into memory to work out it's duration. The Pi is having trouble doing this over the network for some reason, probably low memory/network issue!
The duration is important to create a accurate epg timeline!
Maybe the Pi just isn't up to the task, sorry!
"The ideal would be to force him to run the video straight after opening it at first, making it far ahead was marked before. What did you think?"
Not quite sure what you mean by this.
Got it! This is sad. Raspi is the main place I use to watch!
I meant it would not automatically push the timeline of the video after it starts in Raspi, contrary to preloading video. :)
Ask for assistance in a OpenELEC/Raspberry Pi/XBMC forum, they may have some better ideas/workarounds!
