My new ion box worked for several weeks without any issues. Then suddenly (without any changes), I started getting network disconnects - that is, xbmc suddenly couldn't see my NAS - so all my media was unavailable.

I've lived with this for several weeks, then suddenly I start it up and it's displaying everything in 4:3. Seems that somehow the resolution got screwed up - again...without any changes to the system. Talk about ghosts in the machine.

The only thing thing that I saw was an update took place (some TV-recent thingee script). Would this change anything? How can things be working, then suddenly not be working when I leave my system alone (except for using it to watch media!).

My xbox worked for years without issues. Don't figure!

Rant over! Rolleyes

Machines can sometimes do strange things.. Maybe you have a bad wire, connector or hardware....
Also software works with bits and if one of them is lazy or fall down you could get serious problems Wink

Try not to let the machine get you down and try to localize the problem.

many user make new forums posts, then rant and rave about this and that not working, yet they don't even bother to post an xbmc.log to a pastebin site so others might have a clue about helping resolve the issues. I just wonder it they would rather rant than get any actual help.

/rant off

So true. In this case I had to vent Laugh

.

I got the issue resolved, so a log at this point isn't necessary.

Still surprised it does such things. My other puters don't seem to do it. Rolleyes

Can you point when and where I said "there is no way an update can hurt you". I just think that many times updates are needed. If you are afraid, keep backups. That's all I said.

Also, when i was sarcastic??

I simple have a different opinion. If you have some kind of problem with my opinion contact me in private, because what you are doing, cross posting offences and flaming like you did, is not very nice...

So now when someone else has this problem they can do a search and find this worthless thread that has no solution.

Please share your solution to the problem so others might benefit from it in the future Smile

Wow, that was a rant? Sounded Vulcan straight to me.

Evidence of what a great group xbmc devs are.

Something to do with writing some of the best software in its field, giving it to people for free, and then getting forum threads with titles like 'What a piece of crap!', in which the user hadn't even bothered to follow basic problem finding protocol (e.g. posting logs, naming the script which might have caused the problem...)?

It would annoy me quite a lot. Can't imagine posts like yours help much either.

Really... Some people... Sad

lol. re-read mate Smile

Oops! Sorry SpitIV. Wrong end of stick...! Rolleyes

It never ceases to amaze me how you can ask for help with a problem and NOT get one reply - BUT...the moment you make some OTHER comment, you get all these people jumping in and commenting.

For those interested - I added my TV's resolution (1920x1080) to the grub file and then updated grub. This may or may not be the solution, but so far it seems to have held. Only time is going to tell

EDIT: This has not fixed my issue. I now notice that when I turn on the ION box, it will NOT load xbmc until I turn of the TV. Very weird. Time to upgrade to a new version I think!

You may be amazed at the help you get if you ask for it the proper way.

BTW - Thx for posting what you did to resolve it.
