[LIVE] All scripts included are failing, others running slowly
#1
All scripts which come with XBMC are failing. Aptitude somehow activates xbmc.restartApp. So I cannot even use Aptitude.
I started aptitude then went to go smoke a cigarette.
I came back in, Aptitude still said (running)
I navigated one window up
a screen came up that said Initialize- 100% Reading the packagecache with the progress bar full
XBMC appears to be doing nothing at all CPU0 15.0% CPU-XBMC 14.5%.
I hear clicking when I am trying to navigate around but nothing happens unless I cancel. Then it says Initialize: Canceling...-100%
I hit the snapshot button and it now says Initialize:Canceling... Reading the packagecache with no progress bar.
The only way to exit the initialize screen is to hit my pictures or my videos or something to change the screen other then home.

Here is a script which did not come with XBMC. It's working, however VERY slowly. it takes a few minutes for the screens to come up when it changes to another view in the script. Sometimes it won't do anything at all until I change the screen in XBMC.

I could really use some help with this issue. It's like all scripts are taking a really long time do do any processing action and failing. I checked from a terminal and the processor is only at 20% ie.. normal.

Will someone please help me? It's like I'm running a 8086 processor dedicated to python background applications. onscreen applications work great though.

It's almost like someone set a flag to make sure python didn't take control of the processor that it only gets 1 out of every 1000 operations or something. The more operations happen, the more python responds.

I have a very similar problem but I'm not using the live version. It started when I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10.

Using the SVN repo installer to install the Revision3 video plugin worked but, it took half an hour and the install menus wouldn't show up until I hit menu or back. Using the MythBox script, kind of works but is painfully slow.

I guess I should start my own threadHuh

Yes....

Also, not working in XBMC-Live 9.11 Repack.

Did your suggestion fix the issue?

yeah, it works, but like you can see in this video http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff111...G_0154.flv it's a pretty lame soloution.

Basically, you've got to consume mass quantities of processor power in order to use python.

Is anyone NOT having issues with python in Live?

btw... the video makes my firefox hang for 5 minutes before it plays.

I have been having an issue with scripts/plugins taking an extended amount of time to install and once installed they take forever to load/run. I've went ahead and created a log while trying to install the youtube plugin. It took about 20 minutes or so to install.

Also, after a long installation period I have tested scripts: Aptitiude and Navi-X and the same thing occurs..They take a long time to run.

It seems like person who started this thread is having the EXTACT same issue as I am having.

(Check post#8)

P.S.

If I initiate certain commands i.e. hold down the "My pictures" or "My Videos" button on my MCE remote, it seems to speed things up. But, that doesn't work for lets say using the Navi-X script because it will kick you out.

Something is definitely wrong.

Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic
XBMC 9.11 R26018 (Compiled: DEC 24 2009)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
GPU: GeForce 8400 GS (Driver 185.18.36)
Installed: PPA

I also have XBMC-Live 9.11 Repack installed on another partition and on another PC and it does the same thing.


Thanks,


Marbie

When you find a thread that is the "EXTACT same issue as I am having," don't create a new thread. Add any extra info you have there. Splitting discussion is a sure way to slow down resolution. Merging.
