XBMC4Xbox not playing TV4Play when advanced plugin mode is enabled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I enable advanced plugin mode the Swedish TV4Play won't start (both as 
plugin and script). If I try on Eden 11.0 on my PC it works. So the problem 
seems to be in XBMC4Xbox only. Can you fix this without log files? If not, let 
me know.

Nope, as I do not own an xbox anymore I need logfiles. Both uzgplugin.log and a 
debug xbmc.log.

Does the XBMC under Windows have the same issue?

No, it works in Windows.

I attach log files when I run it as a script and as a plugin. Same with the 
xbmc.log.

I get very weird behavior. Sometimes it start for 2-5 secs and stops and then I 
can't get it to start anymore. Sometimes it will not start the first time I try 
(after a reboot).

When I run it as a plugin I get audio, but no video. All problems is gone if I 
disable advanced plugin mode and it's only TV4Play that has problems when 
running it as a script. When I try to run it as a plugin I got issues with 
SVTPlay too. Maybe it's the memory again that is low (I always do a reboot 
after each try)? I hate this low memory problem :(

See if you can find anything in the log files.

Well, as far as I can see, it does seem to be related to memory. XOT-Uzg.v3 
determines the stream to play correctly. 

What skin are you using? You only have 27 MB memory free before you start the 
script/plugin. That is not much. I usually got around 35 MB. 

Did you try a more recent XBMC4Xbox build? I know they are doing a lot of work 
on the video playback. Perhaps your issue is fixed in a more recent nightly?

I updated to the latest build, same problem.
It seems to be a low memory problem. When using PM3.HD or PMIII it works, but 
both skins are ugly in high res and text dialogs are too big. Text gets out of 
the windows etc.
Now we at least know why there are some issues, but it has worked nice before 
even TV4Play so that was the reason I reported it. I didn't tested it with the 
advanced plugin mode enabled and when it's enabled it takes more memory, too 
much memory :(

Ok, well, it's not using too much memory, it just does more steps in one go, 
and thus uses more memory. I can't really control that.

comment these 2 lines in the main default.py:

import remotedebugger 
debugger = remotedebugger.RemoteDebugger()

it will gain you 1.5 MB

Great, thanks! I'll see if that is enough. Maybe it's my lucky day :)
