I think this will require a change to MediaPortal to fix, but maybe I can whip
up a
patch. I'll look into this.

I am having a hard time consistently reproducing this so if anyone that has
been
seeing this issue a lot could test the changes, I would appreciate it.

Removed milestone attribute as this is a fix to MediaPortal, not MovingPictures.

Getting a lot of reports of this issue cropping back up with people using MP
1.0.2
(see Issue #378). Maybe they for some reason they reverted the fix? Will
investigate
though.
NOTE: This is a problem with MediaPortal, not Moving Pictures.

I have just done an full uninstall and clean install from MP 1.0 RC2 to MP
1.0.2.
Clean DB and all.
I have also experienced this problem in Moving Pictures consistantly and TV
Series to
a lesser extent.
The interface just stops, freezes, things still appear to be happening in the
background, i.e. can hear a movie track, but no movemont on the screen. Only
ALT+F4
gets out.
I will add log when next it happens.

I am still encountering this issue, and was wondering if any progress has been
made.
I am using the latest (stable) releases of MediaPortal and MovingPictures.
Last I knew it was a MediaPortal issue due to threading and asynch loading of
the
backdrop images...is that still the main cause of the issue, or has further
information been acquired?

Ultimately this is a problem with the MediaPortal renderer. The issue that I
found and
fixed already was a texture being deallocated in one thread while it was being
rendered
in another. This was indirectly caused by the asynchronous loading logic that
Moving
Pictures and TV Series uses for backdrops. I created a patch for this bug and
it was
applied to MediaPortal as of 1.0.1.
Since then a few people have been reporting a very similar issue, but I have
not been
able to reproduce this or determine what is causing it. So no, not much
progress has
been made. If you can provide additional debug log files that would be helpful,
but
what we really need is some way to reproduce (preferably in a consistent
manner) the
bug. Thus far none of the developers have been able to reproduce the problem at
all
though, post 1.0.1.

I am using mediaportal 1.0.1 and moving pictures 0.7.5 and I am not sure which
TV
Series version. Vista 64 bit, ati catalyst 9.9, 4870x2.
I have the same but much worse version of this problem. On a fresh reboot, I am
able
to run mediaportal fine and enter either Moving pictures or TV series fine
about 80%
of the time. The other 20% I get a BSOD with ATIKMDAG.sys error. The problem
gets
much worse if I enter either moving pictures or TV series, scroll around my
movie or
TV series and then go to main menu and switch to the other plugin. For example,
if I
enter moving pictures successfully, then I can use it without a problem. If I
do use
it and then go to main menu to go to TV series, then I get a BSOD 95% of the
time.
Vice versa is also true when entering TV series, using it, and then trying to
go to
Moving pictures.
I would not really care much about this bug if mediaportal would just quit, but
I
get a blue screen and the computer resets. I never get mediaportal just
crashing. It
is always a hard reset of the system.
I did not have this problem few months ago. It started happening about 3 months
ago.
Everytime it is a ATIKMDAG.sys error so I assume it was likely caused or made
worse
by one of the catalyst drivers.

cybtropic,
After reading about your issue, I am inclined to state that this is not an
issue with
MediaPortal, Moving Pictures, of TV Series.
I have done some research, and it seems that there is an issue with the 64 bit
drivers for your ATI Catalyst on Windows Vista (as well as Windows 7). I am
unsure
of what version of the drivers you are running, but upgrading your drivers might
resolve the issue.
And on a side note, and I mean no offense by this, but you have posted in the
wrong
area for your specific issue. This issue (351) is about loading and unloading
of
textures for backdrops in Moving Pictures. Again, I mean that with no offense.

Conrad;
In the meantime (while I wait to see if MediaPortal 1.1.0 Final fixes the
problem),
is there any way to disable the backdrops, so that I can still use Moving
Pictures
without the crashes happening? Or is that skin dependent? If it is skin
dependent,
do you know of any skins which do not utilize the backdrop?
Original comment by jmhec...@gmail.com

in the movingpictures.xml...you can disable backdrop support. Look for
something like:
<define>#largeicons.backdrop.used:true</define>
<define>#smallicons.backdrop.used:true</define>
<define>#list.backdrop.used:true</define>
<define>#filmstrip.backdrop.used:true</define>
<define>#details.backdrop.used:true</define>
For TVSeries, you can disable it at the Series Level from the Options Menu in
the GUI.

Thats what confuses me...MP TV Series works great. I have never had this
backdrop
issue causing problems like it does with Moving Pictures.

Can anyone else confirm this issue currently only occurs for Moving Pictures
and NOT
TVSeries? If this is true then it would help a lot in narrowing down where the
issue is
as both plugins share a lot of backdrop logic.

I'll try again tonight, but about a month ago it was def. occuring in both for
me. By
"by now" do you mean with the latest MP svn I assume (I doubt it just magically
fixed
itself)?

Theres a first time for everything...today was the first time I ever
encountered this
issue with TV Series. Same behavior as Moving Pictures...it appears to have
locked
up, seeming that closing out MP completely is the only way to fix (although you
can
keep pressing the Play button on the remote until it plays an
episode...stopping the
video resumes normal functionality to TV Series)
I am working on finding the options to disable the backdrop loading in TV
Series now,
so that I can at least retain functionality with it until proper fixes (on the
Mediaportal side) are issued.

For now, TVSeries only can disable fanart from the series level but we can
easily add
it for other levels (season,episode) for people that still experience problems.

Damien,
With that being said, I disabled it on the series level, but and when I open up
a
series (lets use Ally McBeal, as it is the first one listed), it does change the
backdrop (as you had mentioned, because it is on the Season level), and when
navigating to another season, it does lock up leaving me to have to navigate my
way
around to play a video, and then stop it.
I will say that I LOVE the backdrop concept, but would love a way to disable the
backdrops completely until a workaround on the Mediaportal side of things is
accepted
into the source tree. I wouldn't even be against keeping the option there even
after
the problem is resolved. I am sure there are people out there that wouldn't
mind
having it disabled on a permanent basis.

You can also delete the two Fanart Controls in the TVSeries.xml, this will
completely
disable it in TVSeries.

Worked like a charm, thanks Damien. As always, you have been more than helpful.
