Hi,

 

I have my new box (Ultimo 4K) and Pli 6 since 5 days and Pli hangs 5 times when I stop a movie. In fact I watch informations and at the end, there is the weather. I watch the weather in 4x speed and when I've seen it, I press "stop" and then it hangs every time. I haven't this problem with the Xtrend and Pli4.

 

Do you think it can be corrected or is this a driver Vu+ problem ?

 

Is there a possibility to kill this process without switching off electrically the stb ? Because the stb continues to record and the records are good but I can't do anything.

 

Thank you .

Fast forward (and backward) isn't very reliable in VU+ drivers (any box), but that shouldn't "hang" it. 

 

As you say that everything else continues to work, it doesn't hang, it just doesn't respond to the remote anymore. Do you have spinners upper-left when this happens? Is this movie on a local harddisk? A USB device? A network device?

[sjlouis]

What is a spinner? The little turning "circle" on the top left (the same one we see when the hard disk wakes up)? I have the turning circle.

 

The movie is on the hard internal disk and I can repeat the problem with several files.

 

When I press "stop", Pli exits the file, there is the little turning circle on the top left, I have a black screen with a little window where the file continues to run while a few seconds before stopping. I try to wait a long time (15 minutes), but it continues.

[WanWizard]

Yes. The circle that spins.

 

If you can reproduce it, and know your way on the commandline, try this:

init 4
ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 /usr/bin/enigma2

it will run enigma in debug mode in the foreground, so you can see all debug output it produces.

 

Then do your thing with the movie. When the spinners show, the logs will say something like "main thread not idle, displaying spinner!", see if there is anything other interesting in the debug output.

 

Once done, you can press Ctrl-C to shutdown Enigma (or select "Restart Enigma" from the menu), and type "init 3" to start Enigma in normal mode again.

[sjlouis]

Yes I can reproduce it, that's why I can explain you how it "crashes".

 

I'm going to try "debug" .

[sjlouis]

Ok, I've done it but when I press Control C (in the Telnet session), it doesn't do anything neither I can't access the menu to restart Enigma.

 

I've copied only the beginning of the action.

As I don't use the standard skin, I tried again with Plu-FullHD and there is the same result.

[WanWizard]

Oops. sounds it's really stuck then. You get this when enigma dispatches a task, and that doesn't return.

 

Was the channel you were on before you started playing the recording a radio station? I'm not an expert on the C++ code in Enigma, so I can't really decode the debugging output in detail.

[sjlouis]

It's a TV musical channel (MCM TOP or NRJ Hits) and in case I tried with a sport channel and a series (Supernatural, Walking dead..) channel but it's the same thing.

 

If you can't do anything, someone else can do something?

[WanWizard]

You need someone with knowledge of the C++ internals, I assume they're all busy at work now.

[sjlouis]

I don't expect a correction in less than 10 minutes , I can wait a few days .

 

You said "Fast forward (and backward) isn't very reliable in VU+ drivers (any box)". Does it mean this problem is very old? And it was nether corrected ? I use it a lot of time when I see motorbike races and when there is noting interesting. If I jump (with 1, 3 or 7), it's not pleasant and I can miss something interesting.

 

As I've this stb since a few days, I've just test it on the last Moto GP and effectively, it's awful in 4x, it jumps from picture to picture .

[WanWizard]

As far as I can remember it's an issue with all VU+ models (which in a sense is logical, all drivers use the same code as the basis). I use only the jump keys.

 

You can define the intervals in the setup, so you could make the steps for 1 and 3 only 5 seconds or so.

[sjlouis]

Yes but i use 7 seconds, 1 minute and 5 minutes. It's convenient. In fact it would be convenient to use more keys for the jumps : 2, 4, 8 and 0 are not used.

 

It's not pleasant to use jumps to see a movie.

 

Perhaps I can write to Vu+ but if it's so old, I'm afraid they don't want to do something .

[WanWizard]

We've complaint a lot, doesn't really help.

 

That said, the box shouldn't crash or get stuck, so we need to see if we can reproduce it, so it can be looked at.

[Pr2]

Hi,

 

The errors in the log you post came clearly from the skin.

 

So can you please create the same log with the default OpenPLi skin?

Change the skin, reboot the box and issue the telnet command to generate the log.

 

Pr2

[littlesat]

Guarenteed when fastplay is involved a driver grrrr.

[sjlouis]

O, I shall try it later because stb is recording a movie but as I said It ends in 50 minutes.

 

As I wrote it previously, I have reproduced it with Pli-FullHD.

[sjlouis]

Pr2, have you the problem with your Solo?

[sjlouis]

[littlesat]

So fast forward and then press pause....? fast forward 'beyond' end of file?

[sjlouis]

Then I was in speed fast (2x) and I pressed Pause, the stb returned to Play without problem.

 

Yes I stopped the movie in fast forward mode before the end.
