Hey guys,
I'm having this frustrating experience with XBMC... I hope someone here might have an idea.
Every so often, say every few hours or so, the screen just goes black (TV says no signal from the computer). The machine keeps running yet I'm not able to interact with it (CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work) and I have to force reboot. Interesting enough this doesn't happen during playback rather only when browsing through menus or after standby (which I saw is an issue on it's own).
This is what I tried to do so far:
- Looked into XBMC debug log: I didn't find anything too weird there. Some warnings and errors, but usually not the same ones every time it happens. You can take a look here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B36hN58...nd4UlRNaW8
- Looked into Windows events: No sign of XBMC crashing here. Only my forced reboots, yet Windows doesn't report an application crash before them.
- Changed the display connection from VGA to HDMI: I read some stuff on the machine loosing the display connection or something. So I tried HDMI instead of VGA but this had no affect. The same thing happens.
- Clean install of Eden: I also wiped the roaming directory and did a clean install. Just as I added all my directories back it happened again, before installing any skin or plugin (only plugin that I installed was the XBMC subtitles plugin).
After all this, I'm still at square one. I just have no idea how to further debug this... Does someone have an idea what else should I check?
Thanks,
Oren.
P.S. - While I'm already here in the XBMC forums, I have to say to the devs and everyone involved that this project is just insanely awesome. Putting aside crashes and such, the quality of the product exceeds any other media center software out there. Thanks for all the effort you guys are putting into it. You've built something truly amazing.
