hippojay,
I installed the Mac XBMC nightly from 9/27/2011 and I’m using your latest version of PleXBMC for Eden (beta 3, I believe). I was running into some problems where a 1080p movie or 720p TV show would play fine (streaming from PMS .9.3.4) for a bit and then start stopping to buffer every few seconds.
I noticed that Mac OS X (10.6.8) was saying my startup disk was filling up. I found that in my userdata folder XBMC was creating several .png thumbnail files that are larger than 1GB. I’m not sure if that was affecting PleXBMC’s playback but it’s obviously a problem. It’s also almost certainly an XBMC problem not a PleXBMC problem. So I updated XBMC to the latest nightly from 10/03/2011.
With the nightly from 10/03 and every single nightly after 9/27 I run into the same problem. Everything seems to be working fine until I try to select a movie or TV show to play at which point nothing happens. Normally, once I scroll to a movie or TV show, I can hit Play on my Apple remote, a spinning “loading” badge will appear at the bottom of the screen for a couple seconds, and then the movie or TV show will begin playing. I don’t see any of that behavior on the nighties I’ve tried after 9/27. If, however, I hold down the Play button and bring up the details screen for the movie or TV show I can scroll over to the Play option, select it, and the movie will start up. Unfortunately, when I try to exit the movie (pressing the Menu button) XBMC will crash.
Here’s a XBMC log of the described event, if that’s at all helpful. http://pastebin.com/EsyFruqX
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
thanks,
