XBMC Freezes after long uptime ( libcec ? )

[Flos]

My XBMC keeps freezing up after a longer time periods (a few days).

If i turn on the TV and switch to the hdmi channel connected to xbian, I see the information of the Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter: "configuration updated" and the frozen clock.

SSH just works fine in this situation. here is the xbmc.log http://pastebin.com/Vx4F1mw7

To get it back to work I have to restart the xbian by unplugging the powercord.

top shows: 3474 xbian 17 -3 0 0 0 Z 0.0 0.0 1187:48 xbmc.bin

Im unable to fix it with ssh:

sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc restart sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc stop

sudo kill xbmc sudo killall xbmc sudo kill -9 xbmc sudo kill -9 3474

sudo shutdown -r now

dosent work.

I still se the freezed xbmc screen on my tv. and also ssh is not closing the connection.

Any ideas ?

does the sudo reboot works?

also by looking into your log I dont know why is your HDMI physical address changing all the time ? So I would say something is not right with your HDMI connection. Have you tried another HDMI cable at all ?

Can you check if XBian 1.0 Beta 1 solves this issue?

@rikardo1979 I tried 5 HDMI cables (different brands, lengths, qualities) all HDMI 1.4a compatible. I think my Philips 7606K02 TV has a faulty libcec implementation and philips doesn't care about it. Connection is Rasp->Sound bar->TV with other setups I had bad sound issues on the sound bar because of the tv cannot forward proper multichannel sound with HDMI arc.

@Koenkk I m currently at the RoboCup in Eindhoven im back at Tuesday. I will update XBian than and check if it helped.

I've experienced something similar. On Beta 1.1.1 (7-7-13)

On both occasions - the RPi hangs. The XBMC screen is still visible, unable to ssh into it. No ethernet (i.e. yellow lights are not on). No alternative but to hard reboot.

Nothing in xbmc.old.log

1) After deleting a movie, just hangs. 2) Left for an hour, came back - same situation.

Will monitor to see if I can deduce what might be happening. Is there anyway to get the "old" dmesg?

Can you try if the latest frodo nightly solves this, to install

sudo su 
wget http://dikonist.asuscomm.com:82/XBian/APT/installTestMirror.sh
chmod +x installTestMirror.sh
./installTestMirror.sh
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-frodo-nightly -y

I just did a fresh install on another SD-Card and updated it. Probably it will take some time until it happens again. By the way, is anything changed / fixed in XBian which could case the error or is just the hope that upstream changes (fw, raspbian, xbmc) fixed it?

[Koenkk]

That can be, it is unknown why you were experiencing this issue

@Flos RPI is such young platform that literally everything is changing almost each day. it is not all the time for the good thing though :-/

Closed, feel free to reopen if you experience this issue again

I have experienced this issue today with latest xbian for rpi2, "service xbmc restart" did not solve the problem, made a "sudo reboot", which did the job. Will gather more infos and post them here.
