Atlantis, Mac Mini - screen static and blanking ?
#1
Hi there,

Just installed a fresh install of Atlantis on a new Mac Mini. All working really good, however after a period of time, 15 mins, 30 mins ? my TV shows white noise. I can still hear it playing. If I hit Menu, Menu, Menu it eventually comes back to the Atlantis main menu.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong ?

Thanks,
Roy.

Not sure, details on how you are connected and how you have xbmc setup might tell.

I've disabled the Mac mini's screensaver and turned off energy saving sleeping. On xbmc I've turned off the screensaver as well. It still plays for a while and then I get static on the TV. However, the video is still playing as I still get the audio ok.

Have turned debug on and will try to reproduce to get an error log now.

i'm assuming you've tried just leaving it running without xbmc open and it doesn't mess up for that 15-30 min.

nothing interesting there, since you are running 8.10-bf1, I would give 9.04-alpah1 a try and see if it has the same behavior.
