Frozen in plugin mode the first time after booting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there,

When starting xot-uzg in plugin mode for the first time after booting it 
behaves a little odd. The blue selection bar is missing (but the first entry is 
bright white), context-menu shows just one item ('update libary') and i can't 
select any item. Its just frozen.

The back button keeps working though, which brings me back to the home screen. 
Starting the plugin again brings me again to uitzendinggemist selection screen 
(vandaag, gisteren, ...) but now it DOES work. Selection bar is present, 
context menu shows more items and all is good.

Any ideas how why it behaves differently the first time after booting? See 
attached logfile. I tried to disable experimental HTTP message cache and 
advanced plugin mode, but no luck.

I start the plugin using a custom home menu item associated with a favourite 
created from the context menu in xot-uzg, so to dive directly into 
uitzendinggemist.nl content. Don't know if that matters.

My setup:
Zotac ID-41
OpenElec 2.0 Beta 7
XOT-Uzg.v3 Version: 3.3.0
Skin: Confluence MOD

Thanx!

I will check this. So you created a favourite for uitzendinggemist.nl and you 
run that on?

Indeed, and all done via the menu's. No manual typing or hacking whatsoever. 

1) Started XOT-UTG normally as a plugin
2) In the plugin, i created an XBMC favourite (not a XOT favourite) from the 
context menu. 
3) The confluence MOD skin allows to make a custom home menu item from an XBMC 
favourite. I just selected the uitzendinggemist favourite created in 2) from 
the presented favourite selection list.

I just tested this on a XBMC Frodo Nightly and I don't see any issues. 

Did you experience this issue:

No, it happens every time after booting my system on which xot-uzg is 
installed. The channel content is all there, i'm just not able to select 
anything. It feels like the gui is in a locked modus. 

I did see something in the log about unlocking the gui after loading the 
plugin. Maybe something goes wrong there?

OK, I will see if I can test it on an openelec build

Could you please attach one more logfile, right after the first run (so the one 
that does not work OK for you) and NOT after you run it for the second time?

Ok, here it is. 

Did the following:
1) boot openelec
2) remove /storage/.xbmc/addons/net.rieter.xot/uzgPlugin.log using winscp
3) shutdown power
4) boot openelec
5) open xot-uzg via favourite going directly into uitzendinggemist.nl channel
6) backup /storage/.xbmc/addons/net.rieter.xot/uzgPlugin.log via winscp

Hope it helps.

I just tried an OpenElec build from the 4th of September (see here: 
http://saraev.ca/xe/) and it all works there. Could it perhaps be your build? 
Can you try a more recent OpenElec (Nightly) build?

Hmm, afraid i'm not able to try an upgrade to a fresh nightly. I tried i386 and 
x86_64 builds, but they won't boot on my ION2 system. I had to downgrade via 
another pc to make it run again.

I noticed something though. Just after the channel update received its items, 
the blue selection bar is visible for a very short while, then the screen ends 
up in the locked state. So it looks like something very late in the loading 
process causes my problems..

It really comes down to a focus problem i guess. It looks like the selection 
list loses the focus at the end of the load process to another control (or to 
nothing because of some lock mode?). Might be a skin problem then..

Ok, please keep me posted.

Turns out it is the skin indeed. In default confluence it works the first time 
after boot. 

Any ideas?

no, I just know that they are having some issues with the new Python Scripting 
engine and some GUI stuff (see here 
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=140682 and here 
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13325)

can't imagine what causes the focus to be lost...
Seems to be a strange issue...

Let me take a look at it!

cheers,

Hey Max, any luck tackling this problem? Are you able to reproduce the problem?
