v14 RPi - Video addons fail after changing profile
#1
Hey,
I've already posted this to Openelec forum, however since the same issue applies to OSMC and Raspbmc, I've decided to make a repost here.
Thread on Openelec: http://openelec.tv/forum/113-video-decod...ile#137974

I'm constantly getting an error (or simply nothing happens) after executing the following steps on my OpenElec installed on Raspberry Pi 2 (same happened on RPi B+ model):
1. Log in as a first profile (eg. master)
2. Launch a playback from video addon (eg. TEDTalks, Youtube). Stop playback.
3. Log off, log in as another profile (eg. user)
4. Try to launch a playback again.
From now either nothing happens, or I am getting an error message. It doesn't matter if it's the same video, or not. Plugins playing finite videos, such as TEDTalks or Youtube no longer work. However, there is no issue with streams, such as Twitch - they will be played correctly.
Should I report it as a bug?

Here's the full log:

And the first error message, related to the issue:

Can't imagine this issue is Pi specific. Can you try the same procedure on another platform (e.g. windows/linux)

Can't reproduce the error neither on Windows 8 64-bit, nor on Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine.

I had the same problem with the profiles on Pi 2. I have to reboot the pi in order for it to work, if I just log off, and log on with another profile, then same issue. I deleted the multiple profiles and was going to try again. Have not tried this on Windows running Kodi.

This turns out to be related to both Openelec and Raspbmc/OSMC. I've just installed Raspbian + Kodi on my Pi 2 and the issue is not present.

Exclamation 
There is another thread about the same error:

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1988365

maybe an admin can join both.

We need to found something in common. In my messages in that thread I attached a fragment of debug log. It shows that the DVDPlayer stopped to run. Maybe it hangs and any other intent to play fails also with another profile. That is why is necessary to reboot the RPi.

I use the new OSMC, with Raspbmc I do not had that error.I must to add that I have a license for use the MPEG2 decoder.

Regards.

I want to confirm that adding:
Code:
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
to advancedsettings.xml fixed this error
