Hi,

i've got a strange behavior with xbmc gotham.
When i switch channel it sometimes takes up to 2 minutes to switch channel. Sometimes it works fine (1-2 sec) but often it's hanging for 2 minutes.
I got the following message in the xbmc.log:
07:18:00 T:6556 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() deleting demuxer
07:18:00 T:6556 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() deleting input stream
07:19:42 T:5648 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: finished waiting
07:19:42 T:5648 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: pvr://channels/tv/Alle TV-Kanäle/6.pvr
07:19:42 T:5648 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(player):Tongueut MSGQ_NOT_INITIALIZED
07:19:42 T:1164 NOTICE: Thread DVDPlayer start, auto delete: false
07:19:42 T:1164 NOTICE: Creating InputStream

Maybe the log entry "07:19:42 T:5648 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: finished waiting" is responsible for hanging?
the channel switch takes about 1:42 Minutes in this example.
How can I do further analysis?
Channelswitching is working fine with vlc player, so it must be an error within xbmc.
I've this since gotham alpha, beta-1 and also in beta-2.

Is it possible to change default dvdplayer?
Maybe another player works better?

Has anybody an idea what to try?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I've activated debugging.
Here'e the debug log:

<edit - don't post logs in your post, use the debug log addon, xbmclogs.com or a pastebin site>

Maybe anybody can help?
Please don't post the debug log directly to the forum. Use something like pastebin or xbmclogs.com to post the log and then provide a link.
