Hi,
Sometimes when I try to open a videofile, may be a .mkv, .avi doesn't really matter, it looks like
XBMC is loading the file, but suddenly it quits and goes back to the main Apple TV menu, then
I have to start xbmc again and start the file over, and it works, most of the times, may do the process over again.
Why does this happen? I try to see in the logfile, but I can't see any errors.
I got all the mediafiles stored on a win7 box, and the apple tv is connected with ethernet cable, no wifi.
I just tried to open a couple of files, but xbmc craches and got back to the apple tv menu. At the same time I connected to the media-file-server
with my laptop, no problem at all!
Any ideas?

There is no /private/var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter file for AppleTV.

Please try gotham beta1 and see if it fixes it (see xbmc.org for howto install it).
I have similar issues since Frodo and Apple TV 5.2. Today I deleted some cached videos and Debian packages to get more room on the disk. I also installed the latest Gotham nightly build. It hasn’t changed anything. Some movies stop directly after I want to play them, others kill the Apple TV about a couple of minutes into the movie. I posted a Gotham sample log at
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=146377 There are some errors in the logs, but searching the forum and Google didn’t reveal any solution.
Any ideas how I can fix these issues?
1. this is not a
debug log (wiki)
2. You've cut the log - post a full log next time
Also ensure to read the
iOS FAQ (wiki) - especially the part about crashing (e.x. turning off thumbnail generation ...)
I did not write “debug log”, just sample log
Sorry, I know that you rely on it. Due to the notice messages I thought that debug output is still on.
I already went a couple of times through the wiki documentation and also some forum threads. Things seem to work a little bit better now. These are the things I’ve done (for future reference):
- Update to the Gotham nightly build
- Remove cached files, i.e. Debian packages & iTunes downloads (this didn’t change anything besides giving me 5–6 GiB more free space)
- Disable add-ons (I had a couple of them and a lot of pre-installed add-ons like music or PVR were never used; I aggressively disabled them, too)
- Disable parts of the Confluence skin, make it more minimalistic (this solved a couple of interface lag issues during navigation; I turned of video previews in the main menu, background fan art, changed the TV and Movies section to different views that feel smoother; Gotham definitely made thinks faster, but turning off these skin features made a slightly bigger boost to navigation performance; the only thing that still lags a lot is the Movies view; background fan art was responsible for a great lag on my Apple TV)
- I applied most of the hints from the iOS FAQ months ago, but I went through it a second time (turning off thumbnail generation didn’t change anything, so I turned it back on)
All movies that previously crashed seem to work now (I only tested it for a couple of seconds, but most of them already crashed before they even started).
Thanks for your continuous support, Memphiz. Keep up the great work!
