Frozen UI when playing videos that are cropped. #632

Closed Mailstorm closed 10 years ago

Mailstorm commented 10 years ago

When I play a video, the video is cropped on the top and bottom. That's just how it is. But the issue is that anything that appears in them will be frozen. For example, the "Working" text box is stuck. If I'd bring up the video controls, those would be froze in place too. Here is a not so good picture of what I'm talking about.

Some info: Using Model B+, RC3 is being used. Video is played over windows network (Wired). OC settings are normal, whatever those are set to.

Make sure algorithmdirtyregions is not set to 1 or 2 in advancedsettings.xml: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Modify_dirty_regions

You should be using the default settings, so just remove any lines with algorithmdirtyregions or nofliptimeout.

Alright, do you think you could help me then? I can't ssh into it because apparently the password isn't 'raspberry'. I've tried both pi and root as the username. I do not know what else to try.

anaconda commented 10 years ago

You should use "xbian" as the username.

Mailstorm commented 10 years ago

I should've tried that. Thanks.

Mailstorm commented 10 years ago

Changed it. Now the gui doesn't work. It boots up, shows for a second, then disappears.

popcornmix commented 10 years ago

What does you advancedsettings.xml look like now?

Mailstorm commented 10 years ago

I fixed it. Noflip had to be 0 and the dirty regions had to be 3 (Like it said on the wiki). Removing the lines like you said didn't work out to well

xbmc has two advancedsettings.xml files, a system one and a user one. Possibly the system one has the unwanted settings in (you can see the two advancedsettings.xml files being loaded in xbmc.log) so you need to correct it in the user settings.

Mailstorm commented 10 years ago

I believe I changed the user one, but it works now. No more frozen items on the screen anymore

just for future reference:

already with Gotham nightlies there was xbian-update package updated to remove those obsolete or non-welcome tuning parameters from advancedsettings.xml for installations having Gotham installed.

if anyone else having that problem reads this, please attach advancedsettings.xml to fix the updating procedure. thanks.

Same thing here, B+ with RC3 and userdata's advancedsettings.xml had algorithmdirtyregions set to 1 and nofliptimeout set to 1000, although I don't remember setting any of these.

The main problem was to actually find this bug report or the wiki page while searching with generic keywords like "black bars" "frozen text", etc, I'm lucky @popcornmix showed it to me :-) Perhaps it would be useful to add "black bars" in the title of this issue and in the wiki, for SEO.

@mk01 as requested, here's what my advancedsettings.xml looked like.
