Any tips? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this issue. It seemed like it was having TV Network channels was the issue and switching to those was what did it, but even after making smart playlists for everything I'm still plagued by it.
Is there a log of some sort I could upload to help out?
your xbmc.log file would have any log info in it. theres a separate site youre supposed to upload them to because they are quite lengthy.
does it turn the screen black and not change channels, so you just hear the audio of what you were watching before?
or does it change channels and play the item its supposed to but just the audio?
if its playing the audio for the new channel then it sounds like a gui issue, you could try hitting tab to bring the video playing to the front. can you confirm that playing an item from your library, and then selecting a new library item to play without stopping the other works fine?
if it just blanks the screen and never changes channels then it could be a permissions issue. its trying to open a file that it doesnt have permission to open.
will it ever time-out when the screen is blank?
It turns black and doesn't change, while playing the audio from the previous channel. And you can hear the navigation noises if you, say, bring up the shutdown menu and navigate up and down the choices. And hitting escape to quit doesn't bring up anything like the "Are you sure?" dialog you usually see.
