A Note for some experiencing post implementation XBMC crashes, as well as for the developer...


While the installation when straight forward on my livingroom server, later, my 32bit bedroom client server bombed out on the plugin. I was able to install the plugin, start XBMC, configure the plugin, then enable the plugin. It seemed good until I backed out to the main screen and then it crashed. Now I cannot boot XBMC without the following error, unless I remove the pvr.wmc directory from XBMC. Then it boots fine.

Error:
Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe
File: c:\program files(x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.1\vc\include vector
Line: 932

Expression: vector subscript out of range

However, a second check of my livingroom server showed it was suffering from the same thing suddenly. I suspected something must be conflicting with the PVRClient on that port so I began shutting down any services that might be conflicting. Nothing. I rebooted the main livingroom server and XBMC came up fine, as did my Bedroom client. So it seems if the plugin is not communication properly, it takes XBMC down completely. I'm a developer myself, so I thought I would pass this forward for others as well as the developer to hopefully trap so that XBMC continues gracefully.

My C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\ directory didnt have a skin.Confluence folder, only the downloaded skins.

I instead found it under

(x64)
C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\addons\skin.Confluence\720p\

(x86)
C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\skin.Confluence\720p\

Worked like a charm!

What I did was go into "recordings" which found the .wtv file, but that only played up to I guess the point where the file ended when I first started playback, at which point a frame was displayed and XBMC froze (had to use task manager to kill).

I have a lot on my plate with my day job, but I did start poking around the XBMC source code a few days ago. When I saw this last error pop up with a VS path, I thought about looking into the plugin code as well to see if I could contribute.. but havent had any free cycles yet. I've developed for streeming media since 1998 for the web, MCE 10ft UI and phones. Working internal automation tools now whichis feast or famine so time is never what i think it will be. But I will take a look, this is fun stuff!

This is interesting because it sounds like you are setting up wmc for the first time and then enabling our software. So I am curious what is going wrong, so like scarecrow says - please post a log on pastebin.com and put the link on this thread.

I wound up just completely going through the configuration of WMC from the beginning again and it fired right up this time. I wish I could have pulled a log before so you could look at it. Good news is that it is working fantasticaly now. I wasted so much time trying to setup MythTV and TVHeadend. This was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into this.

Only thing I am curious about at this point is the timeline at the bottom of the screen when timeshifting. There isn't one. Is that inherent when using WMC as a backend or is this a function of the skin I should address with Phil & Noid? (I'm using Nox git).

Thanks again!!

(2013-09-27, 23:36)krustyreturns Wrote: Great (except for the log, that would have been interesting). I'm not sure what you mean about the timeline being missing - but it sure doesn't sound like something we control in the addon. Maybe quickly try confluence to check the skin.

(2013-09-28, 00:49)TechLife Wrote: I may have used the wrong terminology. Either way I figured it out. It's there in Confluence so it's a Nox issue. Anyway, for reference, what I was talking about is the info at the top and bottom of the screen indicating the position in the program you are watching.

I guess it will just confirm that you do infact have double entrries for recordsing being sent back to the client, but its good to confirm. As krusty said, everything from the log you posted looks OK, ie we dont actually see a double request being sent or anything like that, so definitely worth checking that WMC doesnt have your recorded TV folder added to the library (since recorded TV is automatially part of the library). I also think in this situation, that WMC itself will show double entries in the library for the recorded shows, so thats another thing to check
