Hello,
I'm running XBMC 9.11 Beta1 on an Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm and it seems to lock up when I leave the system alone for a while.
At first I thought it was related to the screensaver, so I tried disabling that, but still, even without it, XBMC hangs.
The behavior I am experiencing is as follows:
- moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard(or remote through lirc) brings me back to the last menu accessed menu.
- It seems I can navigate the current menu without changing screens
- There is no clicking sound when changing menus on the same screen (the clicking sound on the default skin), for some reason I don't have anymore sound
- when I manage to get back to the main menu, open the shutdown panel and select exit, it hangs there and I can no longer do anything.
- If I try to launch a video, it hangs
- If I try to access another screen, it hangs
Eventually, I have to ssh to the box and kill -9 the processes related to it in order to get access to the machine or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
I didn't experience this behavior when I was using alpha 1, as soon as I upgraded to alpha 2, I encountered this issue.
This is something that happens every time that I leave the media box alone for more than a couple of hours.
I am not quite sure what is causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
