Odd GUI behavior with built-from-source XBMC
#1
In another thread I've posted my xbmc log from running pre-built xmc 12.2 to try to resolve an issue with a low frame rate. It was suggested in that thread that building from source is sometimes a good idea. So I've done that, but I'm having an issue with the gui. I can launch xmbc, but when the gui comes up it acts like I have the 'up' key pressed. I can't navigate with the keyboard, mouse, or a remote because every input is overridden by this sort of 'up arrow' behavior. Possibly there's a build dependency I missed?

I've backed up my .xbmc directory to start fresh, but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Here's the final output from ./configure:

No one has any input on this? Not a clue?

Jesus. A whole lotta nothing here. Maybe it's time to move on to a different solution than xbmc.

Unfortunately your paste has gone. The symptoms sound like you're hitting the joystick bug perhaps, where one of your clearly non-joystick input devices is being interpreted as a joystick and all hell is breaking lose.

You could try disabling it in guisettings.xml by searching for <input><enablejoystick>.

Cheers,
Jonathan

sounds exactly like what jmarshall said. Had the same issue, fix: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/3640

Yes! That was it. Thanks so much jmarshall.
Unfortunately building from source didn't fix the problem. I'm still getting about 20-21 fps on video that should be 24fps. The frame drops are more subtle now, but they're still there. It appears they happen more often, so it causes less of a "jump" each time, but now it happens about 5 times a second rather than once or twice per second.

I also notice a couple new bugs:
Two debug lines in the OSD are printed over each other now
when you pause, the error % climbs up constantly 100% per "tick". It's at 8 million % right now. lol
All of the advanced video and audio settings are gone?

Which gets me back to my original thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1552215

The advanced video and audio settings are there once you switch the settings level to something other than "Basic"
