View Full Version : Anyone else having problems when resuming from 'Pause'?
Pausing video for a few seconds is OK but leave it for about a minute then when it resumes there's no sound and the video freezes a few seconds later.

Tested with 21090. I started a movie, skipped ahead a bit, paused for 3 minutes and then resumed. Everything worked fine.
The file was 1080p and I am using Dolby/DTS passthrough.
This has happened with MKV's and ISO's.
Same issue here. Just updated to the newest build available through auto-update. Paused a video, screen dimmed, pressed play and XBMC crashed.
I'll post another debug log if needed. Let me know if the one posted by Hitcher isn't enough.
I've got the same problem
Is this MKV's and ISO only issue ?

I'm having the same issue with ISOs. In Fact, I've been having a fair amount of video issues with the latest builds for the last month but unfortunately haven't had time to troubleshoot them. A lot of my videos start with sound only and the video doesn't show for a good minute...these are either WMV or AVI files (haven't checked yet). My ISO files tend to stutter a bit too which never happened in the older builds. I read somewhere that the ffmpeg libraries are being updated in XBMC, so hopefully that will fix the issues.

Same issue as everyone and RodrigoG's image come up when playing a DIR for the second time.
It seems to affect

MKV's

When xbmc crashes, there should be xbmc.rXXX.dmp file in the xbmc installlation directory ? Please post that as well ....

I've had the same problem frequently with build 21090, but now just sporadic with the latest build from svn.
Looks like most of you use digital out? Whats the exact audio setting?

Looks like most of you use digital out? Whats the exact audio setting?
As I posted in the trac ticket, I have the issue consistently on a system where audio output is set to digital (dolby & dts enabled), and can't reproduce on a system where output is set to analog
I tried setting the analog system to digital, and now I get the pure virtual function call errors.
I tried setting the digital system to analog, and don't get errors anymore.
mediainfo output for the file I'm testing with:
http://pastebin.com/m579d3cc1
Digital out here also.
Using a HDA Xplosion Audio card which encodes everything to DTS unless it has AC3 or DTS native audio.
I can confirm no issues with analog - including playing stacked files.
When xbmc crashes, there should be xbmc.rXXX.dmp file in the xbmc installlation directory ? Please post that as well ....
No .dmp file here anywhere on the HDD. Sorry.

No luck I'm afraid:

Hey.
I am having the same error. I have only experienced this with MKV's.
Any ideas what may cause this?
Same problem, happens to me since a few builds, current build is 21168 and digital out, no dump file either!!!
There will not be a dump. XBMC is not crashing (at least not per the log file), the audio thread is just throwing an exception and terminating.
Here is the problem:
#18:54:29 T:3136 M:1064898560 DEBUG: CGUIAudioManager::Initialize
#18:54:29 T:5768 M:1064882176 ERROR: CThread::staticThread : Access violation at 0x0048cdd8: Reading location 0x00000024
Because we use a global DirectSound device, when the GUIAudioManager is re-initialized, it notices that the surrent device is det up for passthrough, and closes our DirectSound device, thus invalidating the pointer held by the renderer.
I can't say yet why the GUIAudioManager would be reinitialized...
same problem. Can skip ahead, can do everything except pause.
Also use digital output and experience np with analog.
What is the last working svn?

r21030 works for me.

mmh I changed the log message from error to debug. Maybe it is still an error when it's called? ;)
svn rev 21181 on a fresh xbmc install did not fix the problem for me
crash after pause
edit:Just to confirm for my own peace of mind. I checked if the XBMC_for_Windows-9.04.1-repack2.exe caused any probs and it does not.
edit2: 21030 does indeed still work. thx for the tip
I suspect that you only need to disable gui sounds during video playback to get the newer versionions to work.
It's quite broken both in windows and linux at the moment.

I never had this enabled. I also double checked just to make sure that it wasnt enabled by accident. BTW I am also using digital audio.

Tried, still the same.
...Might be nice to have a debug log with GUI sounds turned off...
I was watching something normally so I didn't have debug on - I'll try and reproduce again later. Actually, is there a way to have debug on but without the on-screen info displayed?

This solution works for me.
With navigation sounds enabled, I am able to invoke the error by pausing an mkv and then pressing stop.

I can confirm that it doesnt happen with the gui sounds completly switched off.

this may sound a bit stupid but i can't figure out how to disable gui sounds in Aeon anybody can point me to the right menu???
Settings > Appearance > Look and Feel.
seems that when i turned off navigation sounds the problem was solved. I am on windows 7 x64 with onboard spdif out.
Works great here. Since I am not a big fan of nav sounds anyways, this works out fine for me. :)
I'm experiencing this problem too using digital sound i use WinXP 32bit with Creative xtreme gamer. i'd be happy to drop some dumps if needed.
This is really tricky to repeat (it happens a lot when I watching out of debug mod but as soon as I try to force it nothing happens) but I've managed to get a log for you.

If I have digital audio enabled in the settings and if pause (using the pause button) any dolby/dts movie and then press play it causes xbmc to crash on me.
If however I dont hit the pause button but instead hit the play button again, the movie pauses and then hitting play again resumes fine. Weird stuff Id say but at least I found a work around by just disabling the pause button on my remote and instead hitting the play button to pause....
Confirmed the above finding - it only crashes when you use XBMC's Pause function.

This is the key. There were changes made to the GUI sounds code that are clearly causing this, however, there are several other pressing audio issues taking precedence for me at the moment. Patches are welcome, but feel free to disable GUI sounds for the time being as a workaround.
Damn, I thought you were close to fixing it now that it is localized.
I do want to add that I do miss those sounds for a variety of reasons which aren't really interesting. Just saying I'd appreciate a quick fix...for what it's worth.
for now I'll stay with the svn that works dreaming of what I'm missing in the new svns

Is it me or has the video playback portion of XBMC had numerous issues lately? I have this issue, an issue where trying to play AVI files crashes XBMC, and another where some wmv files play audio but no video. All of these files played flawlessly in the past. Has there been a major change in the video coding that has caused all of these unexpected issues?

Thanks for the workaround! I can confirm that disabling the GUI sounds prevents the crash.
Interestingly my other PC doesn't suffer from this bug. But it's got different hardware and downmixed sound to stereo in XBMC. So it's hard to tell exactly what's causing it. It sure looks to be audio related though as you pointed out.
Oh, and another thing: Playing a rar'ed xvid avi movie worked fine even with gui sounds enabled. I only get this crash when playing x264 MKV videos.

BTW, I'm in no way "bitching", just curious if there was a major change in the last month to the audio/video handling.
program the same button as play on your remote and you're fine.
I have this problem in XBMC Windows (Vista 64) since I switched my primary audio card to be a M-Audio Delta 66. I'm using the analog output, but the card does have digital support. I am a little shocked that I am not the only one, I figured running a HTPC with a pro audio sound card was pretty unusual.. FWIW, I have UI sounds disabled.

If you're using svn builds you can expect things to be broken frequently. What you call "numerous issues" actually reflects the amount of work which is being done.

Oh come on...I'm not an idiot. I know that SVN builds aren't stable, but I'm also a programmer and I know that issues !=progress. (pun intended). Issues are still issues no matter how you slice it. I never said I didn't expect issues with the SVN builds...If you read my post you'll see that I was asking if there was a major change to the audio/video handling that has made these issues pop up.

Are you using Pause or Play to resume?
SlaveUnit
2009-07-11, 08:37
When I push either of them, it wont resume play. But I never really used the pause button to pause so Im not sure what does what with the pause button. I usually just used the play button (letter p).
I did pause it, then hit x to stop it and it crashed there.
I recently had this problem. I resolved it by a clean install /w latest update and skipped Aeon flux, instead of Aeon im running Mediastream or Mediastream_redux and the problem went away.

Hitcher,
I hit my Play button to resume, but it's been a year since I setup my Harmony, so I'm not sure exactly what command is mapped for the play button. I do get the crash when tapping the space bar on the keyboard to resume though, if that helps.

Just realized I'm getting the same issue. It happens when digital audio is being passed. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled and it begin to work. Default audio is set to analog. After I changed it to digital, the pause bug seems to occur. My receiver decodes DTS and when I pause the video, it immediately loses DTS and tries to renegotiate audio. When the video is resumed, the receiver eventually is set to DTS but there is not audio heard and eventually I'll get a crash with the Pure Virtual Function call error.

Like others have said, as a work around till its resolved, do NOT use the "pause" button to pause, instead use the "play" button to pause.
got the same problem.
just upgraded to Rev21829 and played with a few settings. I Also got the runtime error when pausing and playing again.
Tried older Revs but no luck until I found this topic.
I set the navigation sounds to skin default after the upgrade... A bad choice I guess. I set them to OFF again and now pause and play work like a charm.
Thanks for the help guys!
Wanted to chime in that I get the same issue as well. Windows 7 64bit, onboard spdif out. Disabling GUI sounds seems to have worked as well. Thanks for the help guys!

OK, i wanted to ask this before, but never did.
for past 3-4 months, and I been using XBMCUpdate daily, so I had tried all compiled versions in that period.
I'm using AC3 pashthrouth ATI HDMI, when watching movie/show with AC3 sound and I pause the playback, then few minutes later I press play again. Video will play but there is no sound. When I press stop playback XBMC crashes.
Anyone else experience that?

hey. just my 2 cents for yall. i have had the same issue for a while now. did a reinstall and was like sweet its working fixed etc. but then it broke again. took me some trial and error to localize the issue. the issue stems from ac3 play back. i can watch avi with mp3 audio fine. playback can be paused, played, etc. using onboard dig audio out over toslink to sony receiver with dts/ac3 support. if i watch an avi with ac3 audio same config. it breaks after pause/stop. turning off the nav sounds has resolved the issue. also turning off ac3 support in the menu will fix the issue but i lose my digital audio indicator on the receiver and it does not display the audio info, aka dolby digital 2/3 for ex. which it DOES do if ac3 support is enabled. turning off dts support did not fix the issue. i have narrowed it down to ac3 and the nav sounds fixed it. thanks guys. hopefully you can get this sorted soon.

Just to confirm ... would this work if placed inside userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml (which seems to be the new location for keymap files according to the wiki)

<keyboard>
<space>Play</space>
</keyboard>

So the problem is not going to be officially fixed?
I see this thread is quite old and with those workarounds (eliminating sistem sounds or using p instead of space works fine for me) seems like no body is pursuing the problem.
I don't know the code but I'm pretty sure that the hint about the space causing the problem and p don't should be of help... doesn't it?
Anyway, I'll just touch the Ticker to see if it's going on or shall be closed...
Thanks a lot to everybody that posted in this thread. With your help it just took me 10 minutes to workaround this problem...
XBMC for windows was the last one I had to try. I used it for years in my XBOX (poor thing, today I just took it from the livingroom), later on some PCs with XBOX Live first and Linux later... then apple TV and finaly (against my initial will) in a mac mini (perfect for the livingroom if you can aford it)... I just never tried the windows version since the initial versions where sooooo worst than the others...
Now, except for this little problem, seems like a real option... even in HD.
Congrats people... XBMC IS THE WINNER! No other can even come close to what XBMC offers, and it improves day after day...
Seriously many many many thanks to everybody.

Hi,
I am using the latest DX build (XBMCSetup-Rev24195-dx.exe), and I still have the problem that when pressing PAUSE, XBMC crashes, I don't get a runtime error but instead an Windows General Protection fault. Happens with movies and MP3 playback. But ONLY when Pressing the Pause key (Space), when I press the Play key (which also Pauses MP3 music, so the play key is actually a toggle), everything works fine.
Please try it yourself, play a MP3 in fullscreen visualisation mode, you can use my keymap.xml, and then just press SPACE, and see what happens. Here is the XML from my userdata folder:

Turn OFF navigation sounds.
Jackie78
2009-11-13, 18:14
I'd like to have the navigation sounds however.
In Movie mode, no problem, I use the Play key to toggle.
But what in Music mode? There is no way at all to use Pause in Music Mode since XBMC stops responding one pressed, and Play doesn't Pause, but plays the song from the beginning.
Is there an elegant solution to this?
