When I hit the select button on my remote, PTVL brings up the blank EPG background and it takes 10-15 seconds to populate the programs and logos. Navigating through the channels is slow. Moving between the 6 channels showing on the guide aren't too bad but there is about .5 second lag. Trying to navigate to a channel off screen is worse and the lag can vary between 2-5 seconds usually. If I make the mistake of trying to navigate to my music videos channel (folder based), forget it. We're talking minutes. Sometimes up to 10 or so. Even exiting is problematic as it sits on removing file locks for at least 30 seconds or more. All my channels are based on local network content. No internet streaming.

Here is my log: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=65952B21EB866735!3378&authkey=!AK6Ja-zwDkDVkIk&ithint=file%2clog

I do see a bunch of "ERROR: XFILE::CFile::Rename - Error renaming file smb://WOPR/xbmc_stuff/PTV Live Shared Channels/cache/FileLock.dat" messages. Are they my problem? Would really love to get this sorted out and get back my reliable PTVL.

Send me your settings2.xml

Thanks for your latest update! Appreciate the work you do! The issue that I mentioned earlier is still present in 0.5.9. I did my latest test on an USB stick running KODIubuntu, so nothing would be installed by myself to cause conflicts. Here is my steps in this test:

1: Turned on debug and rebooted the machine
2: Changed screensaver from dim to euphoria ( i can test other screensavers but it was observed with dim and euphoria)
3: Waited and watched the screensaver start
4: Installed your repo and PTVL
5: waited and watched the screensaver start
6: Because i always have to reboot after an upgrade/install of PTVL so i rebooted here
7: Waited and the screensaver didnt start....had a shower and came back and it still hadnt started

At this point I havent even ran PTVL nor configured anything else in Kodi or PTVL.

Steps 2-5: http://xbmclogs.com/paa5gzozc
Step 7: http://xbmclogs.com/ppk4mbr4f

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me. From this test, i cant see it being any other addon that I would have installed that is causing this issue.

Cheers!

I've exhausted possibilities, the code as written should not keep your system from idling. On every Kodi and PTVL instance I run... No idling problems...
The entry in your log that concerns me is the line below. It is not generated by PTVL, but Kodi. Do you have any wake-lan settings enabled in Kodi? Perhaps this is a power system bug between kodi and your hardware?

Code:

17:48:53 T:140011287377856   DEBUG: UPower: Received an unknown signal DeviceChanged

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I have this issue on 3 machines. 2 are identical hardware (the logs is from one of these) and 1 is my server running Mythbuntu. I can duplicate the issue on all three machines.

I will try to do more digging to see if its something in my environment doing this, but i cannot think what at the moment. Its very strange that others aren't having this issue and I have it happening on all my devices.

Those errors look like the happen in the first log too, when the system idled properly before PTVL install....so i dont know for sure if they are the cause.

Cheers!

Found a bug, not sure if this has been mentioned yet.

Basically the EPG artwork seems to get erased everytime I exit PTVL.

Which then means that everytime I launch PTVL the artwork spooler has to finish running before the artwork is displayed. The average spooling time for my 40 channels (set to a max of 50 vids a piece) is around 1200 seconds. All of this means everytime I launch PTVL it takes about 20 minutes for any artwork to display. The other problem that goes along with this is that, if I try to exit before the spooling completes PTVL usually hangs and the machine needs to be rebooted OR it will actually continue to spool artwork even once PTVL is exited and then when I attempt to launch PTVL again, it will give me the warning that PTVL is already running and Ill have to reboot the machine.

This is defintiely a new problem that has only popped up in the last two updates.

As a test, I downloaded 5.7F from Github and on that version the artwork loads instantly upon launch. Like I said in the beginning I cant be the only one experiencing this and I have to believe this is a bug, so I figured I'd bring it to your attention.
