Possible volume bug?

[TechPagan]

I've noticed in the past two CVS builds that when I turn the volume up or down in XBMC with my remote or controller, I get about a 5 second freeze. The video then plays like normal with the adjusted volume, but the graphic for the volume slider as well as the db text dissappears, but I still have the speaker graphic come up when I adjust the volume. I can then turn the volume up and down like normal without any pause there after, but no slider graphic or db text. Possible bug?

can't reproduce.

[TechPagan]

They have doctors for that you know... just kidding. Do you have any ideas SleepyP? :confused2:

[SleepyP]

no. like i freaking said already i can't reproduce this error, so how can i even begin to understand it?

[elupus]

he was just kidding SleepyP... could be a bug, but if you could provide a deug log when it happens, it might help. only happens when using remote or?

[TechPagan]

Ouch hit a nerve...sorry about that SleepyP. I thought the pharsing of your reply was pretty funny and so couldn't resist. Also, I didnt know you had to be able to reproduce the error to be able to make basic competent suggestions. I repair PCs for a living and I don't have to see a power supply catch fire to tell someone its bad... elupus thanks for the suggestion, I will post a log when it happens. I'm also going to recompile the new CVS myself and see if it does any good. Thanks for the input.

Below is the log file. The issue seems to be at time index 09:09:45. The volume issue that I am having does not happen right away. If i adjust the volume within 15 -30 minutes it is just fine. If I adjust it after that, thats when I get the freeze and loss of the audio texture. and to answer your question elupus yes I get it with both the remote and the xbox controller.

Please supply a debug log (hold down X+Y on boot - you'll see the freemem counter).

Do you happen to have harddisk spindown enabled? That may be the problem - try with it disabled.

[TechPagan]

Thanks for the reply jmarshall. Yes, I do have the HDD spindown enabled. I will test with this option disabled, but can you tell me as to why one effects the other? If it does not work I will post the log you requested. I remember a sticky that had special instructions on how to post a log, but I can't seem to find the instructions now. Can someone point me in the right direction? Again jmarshall, thanks for the help.

Techpagan one of the general approaches to this open source project has been the ability to replicate the bug report. I support SleepP on this because mate were all more or less on the same hardware and its helpful to the devs to know in fact the bug can be reproduced under a specific set of conditions. It eliminates bug reports that are user error and helps in debugging by narrowing down the parameters inwhich the bug occurs.
