Solved Youtube addon
#1
Guys,

I have my setup with a 256MB raspberry running very nicely one of the latest Helix Openelec release.

starting from a couple of weeks ago, maybe even more, every time I start to watch something with the youtube addon I eventually get the whole raspberry to freeze. (keystrokes do nothing, and I cannot connect with ssh)

I assume it has to be something wrong with my setting (maybe cache size) since I don't see anyone else with the same problem.
I don't have an advancedsetting file
I tried to take a look ta the log myself... but I couldn't get anything out of it...
I tried to empty the addon folder but still no luck

Is there anyone that can take a look at my log and see if there is anything wrong or any hint on how to fix this?

thanks a lot

First you have
Code:
<cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize>
That allocates 60M for internet cache which is too high for a 256M Pi. Set it to 2097152 for now.

If that doesn't help, then remove overclock settings completely and test.

If that doesn't help then try a stable OpenELEC build.

Thanks Popcornmix,


I moved to OE 4.0.3, removed all my overclocking and set cache to 2097152
still it freezes after a couple of minutes.

No big issue, just it feels strange it happens only to me....

thanks anyway

Next, I'd rename .xbmc directory and reboot (so you have no custom settings or add-ons) and test if it works.

The other likely issue is power supply. You need to test the voltage between TP1 and TP2:

Popcornmix,

i double checked my brand new advancedsettings and I just noticed that I didn't open it with <advancedsettings> and closed it with</advancedsettings>

now with the correct opening and closing and value set to 2097152 I managed to watch a 15 minutes YouTube clip.

Popcornmix, as always you were right, sorry if I misled you with my mistake


thanks again
