Hey, Chi3f.
Is the any reason that this bit of code is causing the harddrive to hash now since the 4/8/07 update?
<control type="progress">
<posx>30</posx>
<posy>460</posy>
<width>250</width>
<height>15</height>
<info>Player.Progress</info>
<texturebg>progressbar-background-blue-alpha.png</texturebg>
<lefttexture>progress-left.png</lefttexture>
<midtexture>progress-middle.png</midtexture>
<righttexture>progress-right.png</righttexture>
<overlaytexture>-</overlaytexture>
<visible>System.IdleTime(64)</visible>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" time="400">Visible</animation>
</control>
It took awhile but I narrowed it down to this bit of code.
Funny thing is it's not the code itself, it's the the control call itself, if I comment it out it stops hashing, but looses the onscreen menu, if I comment out everything but the control header and end, it still hashs, but no menu.
I though it was a missing texture, but i put real ones in the media folder for the missing texture error in the log, and for all the textures in the "progress" control in defaults.xml, and in the above code.
It only started after the 4/8/07 update, hass anyone else noticed this.
I though it was a xbmc bug at first related to the hdd smart code, but it's not. Here is the full breakdown from the bug report forum.

.....it's not a defective hardrive noise, it's very exact, when a movie is playing or on pause, the harddrive will start to hash away after 30 secs.
if I press anything on the remote or controller, from volume to pause, the hashing will stop, for exactly 30 secs. then it will start back up again, it will go forever just whirring, it doesn't do it in the gui, it does it with cache, no cache, nd in every video resolution, seems to have started just after a 4/1/07 upgrade, it does it in both t3ch, and pimped, as well as links2xbmc all made after 4/1/07. it sounds like a harddrive defragging. BTW, it will wake up the harddrive to make its little noise, i know this because i set it to sleep immediately, and the drive spun down, then 30 sec later, the video studdered and the harddrive spun back up to hash......
It only does it in xTv, not PM3.
Let me know what you think it might be.
