DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuty

[jimb0b]

anybody shed any light on my debug log ? xbmc keeps crashing while playing various types of video, mostly xvid and mkv. It will play various amounts of the videos before the crash, it just freezes and goes to 99.9% cpu usage (from top) The debug log show a lot of this before it crashes:

Then you'll probably get a better response from the devs

And don't be impatient, you posted on a Sunday FFS.

ok il start again
ubuntu 7.10 server
i686
2.6.22-14-server
installed via PPA
svn 14729
to reproduce the problem i can play either an xvid or mkv (only file formats i have)
log: http://pastebin.com/m3217b547

XBMC dosnt completly crash out, the video just pauses and the program becomes unresponsive

geforce 6200 agp graphics card, old amd sempron 2.2ghz 512mb ram, chaintech 7nif2 mobo, (think its an nforce2 chipset)
using graphics drivers installed by envy version 173.14.12

think thats everything

[jimb0b]

sorry about being impatiant, just getting use to how fast these forums move
(if that sounds sarcastic its not suppose to)

[jimb0b]

bump

[tslayer]

Sounds like a performance issue to me. Your machine/grphx card may not be powerful enough.

What is cpu usage at this time?

[althekiller]

You may want to revert to the 169.12 nvidia drivers, some problems were reported at one time with 173.xx but I don't recall what they were.

[jimb0b]

thanks for the replys

cpu hovers around the 70% mark on a 720 mkv and around 25% on sd xvids. When it locks up the cpu usage goes to 99% as reported by top.

Il try the nvidia drivers and let you know how i get on.

thanks

[jimb0b]

tried the different video drivers, no difference. Any other suggestions or info i can provide ?

i know the hardwares not great but it coped fine with xp mce and does play my hd vids fine until it crashes (can go on for 15 mins)

thanks

[elupus]

i've got no clue what happens here.

[jimb0b]

is there any other logs i can provide that might help ?

[jimb0b]

think i have resolved my problem, upgraded alsa drivers and untils and now i dont get any skipped or lost audio frames and no lock ups :)

thanks for the help anyways.
