Is there anyway to remove the pvr manager? I have all the pvr addons disabled, and still see "PVR Manager Is Starting Up" on boot.

Do you have TV disabled (Settings > TV > Enabled > [unchecked])?

Yes

[Milhouse]

Yes

Which is the build that introduces this problem?

I'm not seeing this problem (also all PVR clients disabled, TV disabled), so it would appear to be something specific to your system (maybe a mangled setting) - could you try a fresh guisettings.xml?

I believe it was #803. It started in the build that fixed the blank screen I was seeing after the splash. I thought maybe that was the fix

EDIT: I deleted the guisettinys.xml, and that fixed it. Thanks.

That build includes PR7664 which added the dialog you are now seeing - could you upload a debug log of your system starting up? Are you testing with Confluence? If you have TV disabled I've no idea why you are seeing this issue, to be honest.

OK great, hopefully it was just a one off.

Figured out high cpu usage of kodi.bin's ActiveAE thread: Had audio resample at high (using ffmpeg software libs). I changed it to GPU accelerated and that problem is gone now, too.

It looks like the new libnfs may have introduced a problem in #0802. I just had a SEGV.
http://sprunge.us/OZFJ

After running with #0803x for a few days I just had another crash related to NFS so I have a debug traceback.
http://sprunge.us/HKOD

This time it's not a SEGV, it's an assertion failing in libnfs. It looks like the exception is not caught so Kodi terminates.

[Doktor-X]

i dont know if this is only me but after upgreating to latest build my rc remote buttons are mest up so i need to use Keymap Editor to set everything back on its track

[doveman2]

OK, I found out I had to add some settings to config.txt to enable my HifiBerry DAC https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configu...-overlays/ so I've done that and now I can set the ALSA device for audio output but I'm still not getting any sound.

I tested with my TV and then a portable speaker, just in case it was a cable problem but nothing with either.

Log is too big to pastebin, so I've compressed it and shared it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1fDI89...sp=sharing

Hopefully it's something simple that I need to change.

[Milhouse]

Hopefully it's something simple that I need to change.

Can you paste the following links:

Code:

dmesg | paste
lsmod | paste
lsusb | paste
lsusb -v | paste
cat /flash/config.txt | paste

This might provide enough information for someone that has a Hifiberry DAC to suggest a solution.

So this crash only started with #0803/#0803x? Never with #0802? Or #0801? What's strange is the libnfs update in #0802 should have been benign.

Edit: I've opened issue #124 on the libnfs repo, hopefully Ronnie can give some insight.

Yes this particular crash has only happened once. The assert that fails is this one https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/blame.../pdu.c#L92

Thanks, didn't know about that little trick

dmesg http://sprunge.us/jNEh
lsmod http://sprunge.us/EKUd
lsusb http://sprunge.us/BIDZ
lsusb -v http://sprunge.us/QgWE (it displayed 5 lines of "can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable" before showing the link)
cat /flash/config.txt http://sprunge.us/hHQc

EDIT: Turns out I got confused and enabled the drivers for the DAC, when I have the DAC+ All working now I've fixed that
