Thanks man, For next lot of logs would the system log from the pi also help?, always best to be prepared

Tomorrow i compile new Xbmc build and give to test.

Meanwhile try this.

<cachemembuffersize>*</cachemembuffersize>

in advenced settings.

This is unlimited cache buffer. I watch 1080p long movie (Cyborg Girl) in YouTube and after 30 minute codec info show "cache:320mb" on Rpi 256mb and still grow. Cache must be write on sd card, because 320mb cache buffer on Rpi 256mb is impossible.

Thought i should explain went funny, The movie froze for about 3 seconds, then the audio would repeat itself, as well as making weird nosies, anyway fresh install this morning, will get logs with debugging on and will also monitor the top command to follow the numbers

So was the audio glitch a one off? It doesn't sound related to the memory killer issue.

Sure mate I will try all

Yes, setting cachemembuffersize to 0 (note, * isn't a valid option and gets interpreted as 0) does:

Code:
if (g_advancedSettings.m_cacheMemBufferSize == 0)

     m_pCache = new CSimpleFileCache();

   else

     m_pCache = new CCircularCache(g_advancedSettings.m_cacheMemBufferSize

so it will buffer to sdcard. Otherwise buffering is in RAM. So setting to 0 will save RAM (but needs space on sdcard)

No probs will give all a try in the morning, I thought i might grab a vid of the sound as it might make it easier to figure it out, It happens in the same spot in the film using rbje`s OE build from earlier, but when played with latest raspbmc with downgraded firmware, it plays perfect, So will try all this out later, and video the sound problem.

Thanks guys for sticking with this.

Seems the audio glitch was a one off?, I did get it again in testing, but rebooted the router, etc, and then i couldnt replicate it

So what is your conclusion? Did the 3.6.10 kernel work better than the default raspbmc one?
Did cachemembuffersize help?

Nope, it got further into the movie and also resarted the xbmc task, But bbc ipalyer worked well Wink

, So i dont know if bbc hd is lower hd than a hd movie Smile

Another test.

New official OpenElec build with kernel 3.6.10

New official OpenElec build with kernel 3.6.11

http://netload.in/datei3CONW3kyoR/OpenEL...ar.bz2.htm

Will test both now for you Smile

Well watched the amazing spiderman all the way to the end on 3.6.11

as soon as i started to watch the campaign, it failed again, here is the xbmc log https://dl.dropbox.com/u/94360623/xbmc%2...mc.old.log
