Random Crashing Solved
#1
Hi

I think I stumbled on a temp fix for a problem some may be having.

ATV2 OS Build 4.2.1 8c154 running Frodo RC2 as of today.

Since first installing frodo beta I began getting random crashes while watching video...would crash right back to frontrow

Would crash watching the same file at different times..while other times a video would play straight without incident.

Looking at the logs I always spotted tons of log entries for JSONRPC calls at the time of the crash.

Example:
JSONRPC: Calling audiolibrary.getalbums
23:04:58 T:187174912 DEBUG: GetAlbumsByWhere query: SELECT albumview.* FROM albumview WHERE albumview.strAlbum <> ''
23:05:02 T:268328960 DEBUG: CPullupCorrection: detected pattern of length 1: 41708.33, frameduration: 41708.333333
23:05:04 T:187174912 DEBUG: GetAlbumsByWhere - query took 5694 ms
23:05:08 T:187174912 DEBUG: JSONRPC: Incoming request: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetArtists", "params": {"properties": ["genre", "description", "fanart", "thumbnail"], "sort": {"method": "random"}, "limits": {"end": 20}}, "id": 1}

if anybody is interested here is the debug log when it was crashing http://pastebin.com/RiYirgBk

I went into the skin widgets addon settings and turned all options off. All files now playing perfectly. Log shows no such activity at all. Obviously I have lost the functionality that skin widgets provided.

Something to try if your your at your wits end Tongue

Memphiz, he's referring to this:

It seems to have a pretty bad effect on ATV2 processing power. I had skin widgets enabled on my skin (reFocus BIG mod) just to try it out, and it caused quite a bit of stuttering, slowness navigating the skin, etc on my ATV2. I uninstalled it within 5 minutes.
