I am having a problem while browsing my movie library. I am using confluence and the "fanart" view. Also, I do have dds fanart enabled in advancedsettings.xml.
While scrolling through, the screen will go black. I can still hear XBMC's navigation sounds in the background, but there is not picture.
From the debug long, it seems that d3d is running out of memory. I have been using dds fanart for over a month and have not had any problems with it until now. In fact, it has been a life-saver on my ION based HTPC's. Any ideas what change could have caused this and how I can remedy it?

How much ram is reserved for the gpu in the bios?

How much ram is reserved for the gpu in the bios?

Its an Acer Revo 1600. I believe it's default was 128, but I changed it to the max of 256MB

I just ran into the same problem here, while trying to switch the thumbnail for a movie. For many movies, when opening the or scrolling through the thumbnails list, the screen goes black and I get this in debug.log:

Code:

I never had such a problem previously.

GPU has 256 MB RAM assigned now (was 128 before, I increased it to test without effect). Further specs see signature.

Any idea?

This issue still persists for me. Happens mostly when scrolling thru videos one drection then going backward.
I have xbmc 10.1 on win7 acer revo 1600 256mb gpu ram. I also have dds canary enabled.

I did a little test by copying the problematic installation 1:1 to another PC, where the out-of-memory issue does not occur. So it seems to be hardware-related.

But: On XBMC 9 this effect has never occurred before on my HTPC, and I did not do any changes to drivers, hardware or settings that could cause this.

Why would 256 MB video memory suddenly not be enough to display a few thumbnails of video covers?!
