Have anyone tried to compile XBMC for the CuBox from the very latest XBMC mainline upstream?

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/
Code:
git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/

merge to update rabeeh's fork
https://github.com/rabeeh/xbmc
Code:
git clone git://github.com/rabeeh/xbmc/

Would be interesting to test since they have updated FFmpeg and added a few more ARM fixes

Finally, XBMC seems to consume a lot of CPU even when idle. It's constantly using around 50%-60% when just displaying the home screen (confluence skin, no RSS feed). Is that expected?


The fix is to enable dirty region processing in XBMC: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Dirty_regions. With this turned on XBMC consumes a lot less CPU when idle. It seems to be more like 0%-10% now.

RockerC - do you know if dirt regions is also active in video playback time?

this is one major issue we still have; although the video engine is very much capable of decoding very high bitrates, it becomes crippled in playback since GPU renders blank screen with 100% transparency (alpha blending) all the time, thus taking lots of CPU and DDR throughput, that can be used for video decoder.

Best would be for SolidRun to submit all and any changes to XBMC source code as patches via pull requests upstream to XBMC.

That way all code such as the GStreamer played could be merged into mainline XBMC, which means that we could build XBMC from their official reposiroty instead of from a fork, and we would get help from their developers on any issues.

Dirty regions does not affect video playback at all. Dirty regions only affects the GUI / skins / menus, buttons, etc., so the only thing affected during video playback is the OSD (On Screen Display) menu if and when you bring that up.

Is anyone having an issue with XBMC crashing when the TV is turned off?

Every time I am finished watching something and turn off my TV. I can see a few seconds in the log that XBMC crashes.
To me it looks like x-org is dies when it no longer detects the TV.

I will update with the logs later.

Hi All,

I test the Enabling dirty regions (a.k.a. dirty textures) for XBMC and replace "1" with "3" when I play 1080p :o is ok now.

<advancedsettings>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>1000</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
</advancedsettings>

Please test this settings

Hi,

I have the same problem. Here is what happens when XBMC crashes (at least on my case);, xbmc.log;

Code:

00:55:41 T:1386312768   ERROR: ADDON: extension 'downloader/' is not currently supported for service addon

And on xorg log:
Code:
xbmc.bin: AddonInstaller.cpp:262: bool CAddonInstaller::CheckDependencies(const ADDON::AddonPtr&): Assertion `addon.get()' failed


I think new XBMC (latest version) is needed

I think I had the same problem. Turned out that my Logitech Harmony remote sends the Power signal to the cubox when I press the power button on the remote to turn off the TV and receiver. I had to comment out the line for the Power signal in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb. It wasn't enough just to remove the <power> entry in XBMC's Lircmap.xml. After restarting lircd and XBMC the XBMC process doesn't quit any more when I turn off the TV.
