[old] Unofficial semi-nightly build FAQ/info/issues (here for archival purposes) - keith - 2011-03-19 As most of you know, XBMC team has completed the merge to trunk. Now it's time to hunt for regressions! Regressions are where stuff broke because code has been merged together. The goal of this is to help the devs find trouble so they don't have to spend half their life coding up the fixes AND finding the bugs. PRE-REQS: (or why to not use this build)
iOS 4.3:
INSTRUCTIONS: After you've installed the official XBMC build, SSH into your atv2 (IP is under System > System Info in XBMC) and type:
To upgrade, just do this again. To downgrade simply reinstall from NitoTV, or find an older nightly. You must install the official XBMC build first to make sure dependencies are handled. Other nightly builds can be found at http://hadm.net/xbmc/. CAVEATS TO THIS BUILD:

HERE IS A POST ABOUT THE PROPER WAY TO REPORT A PROBLEM WITH XBMC: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=92480 I'm not going to require it for now, but it's a good starting point. If you don't follow ANYTHING above, your post will be deleted.

Regards, - mrpeterparker - 2011-03-20 Reporting Audio Stutter issues. 03.18 unofficial keith build - upgraded from 02.1.11 unofficial build (wasn't an issue before) Audio output : HDMI Channels : 2.0 Dolby Digital : Enabled DTS : Disabled Physical Connection : ATV2 ---HDMI--> Samsung LCD ---> Output Via TV speakers No Stutter with AC3 Stutter with DTS http://pastebin.com/D8aiHeew - popcornmix - 2011-03-20 It's been reasonable for me, but it suffers from the slow fps problem that the previous nightlies had (introduced in "rework audio buffering" commit). Basically any seeking is risky, and often results in slow fps video. Here is a log when this happened: debug log I have audio set to optical out, which is fine, but it still doesn't disable HDMI audio, which comes out as mostly white noise. Have to keep turning volume down on TV (we watch live TV through HDMI audio, so also need to turn it up). - keith - 2011-03-20 piotr Wrote:031811 build ignores my, creates local music db It should say 'db version mismatch' all over that debug log as well and not function anyways, as stated in the 1st post. - keith - 2011-03-20 popcornmix Wrote:It's been reasonable for me, but it suffers from the slow fps problem that the previous nightlies had (introduced in "rework audio buffering" commit). I never never had this happen to me. Are you wired? What are you sourcing from? popcornmix Wrote:I have audio set to optical out, which is fine, but it still doesn't disable HDMI audio, which comes out as mostly white noise. Have to keep turning volume down on TV (we watch live TV through HDMI audio, so also need to turn it up). So if you set it to optical out, whitenoise appears on HDMI? That I hadn't seen reported before. Thanks for reporting feedback everyone! - keith - 2011-03-20 R0MSTER Wrote:I guess i am the first to test this semi nightly build, well here are my initial findings: Nice! Skins make sense, since we're on TRUNK now. I should mention that in the 1st post as well. - thesuffering - 2011-03-21 keith Wrote:It should say 'db version mismatch' all over that debug log as well and not function anyways, as stated in the 1st post. which db version is this on? if i were running one of the latest windows nightlies would they be on the same db version? - keith - 2011-03-21 thesuffering Wrote:which db version is this on? if i were running one of the latest windows nightlies would they be on the same db version?> Not sure, I think 48? I didn't realize the win32 nightlies were still going on (since the mac ones are stopped for now) Test and let us know? - keith - 2011-03-21 R0MSTER Wrote:Keith, it is happening to me too, but i thought the problem was looked at which is why i did not report it It might be reported to gimli (the guy doing most of the coreaudio stuff) or a team member, but I hadn't heard it. Also never had the 'very slow' problem. I have had audio disappear while seeking. Please post a debug log. - thesuffering - 2011-03-21 keith Wrote:> i will tomorrow watching movies tonight and dont want to have my dbs out of sync and have to go through the process of reverting back. i will get back to this thread with my results looking here http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/ the latest windows nightly is 3/15/11 so i believe they are still going on. alaska revisited is currently optimized for the nightlies which is why im anxious to switch over if i can but i hate the idea of losing my central library so i have been patient thus far - dazex - 2011-03-21 popcornmix Wrote:It's been reasonable for me, but it suffers from the slow fps problem that the previous nightlies had (introduced in "rework audio buffering" commit). It seems like the slow fps doesn't occur for me with the latest post merge build like it did with the builds after the Feb 27th commit. fyi: Today's build is the first post merge nightly that I installed so I can't say how it behaved with the post merge builds prior to today's. - illiac4 - 2011-03-21 R0MSTER Wrote:Keith, it is happening to me too, but i thought the problem was looked at which is why i did not report it The same problem by me. I think that under seetings/video it is disabled hardware acceleration (even if showed otherwise). If you go there untick it and then tick it back it will work. - Ronny! - 2011-03-21 I just installed the latest build. There are a lot of errors, a list of what I've noticed: -in the series overview there isn't displayed anymore if the whole series is watched, they are all unwatched according to the displayed info (this is not the case) -in the movies library mode, there aren't displayed any thumbs -I can't play anything from my network share (NAS, smb protocol, password protected) So I can't play anything anymore, because I've all my media stored on my NAS. Furthermore, keep up the good work, this is a great project! My setup: ATV 2 Software version 4.1.1 Latest nightly build of XBMC (org.xbmc-031811_atv2-arm.deb) Installed using IPKG debug log: http://pastebin.com/Je92xCnk (XBMC crashed at the end of this log file, I tried to play an episode) - keith - 2011-03-21 Ronny! Wrote:I just installed the latest build. 1) Haven't seen this problem with watched/unwatched, but I suspect it has to do with SMB not working. 2) Same 3) In looking at your logs, did you notice any errors? Because I looked at your log and all smb:// uri's seem to have a 0 or a 1 in front of them, so I'm amazed they worked at all. I would re-do your library, since it obviously got screwed up somewhere. It probably crashed since 'extract thumbs' is still enabled. Read through old threads and apply the knowledge gained from there, this is just another incremental build. Hopefully the 'extract thumbs' bug gets fixed in merge soon. |
