I'll take a look. Deinterlacing doesnt look like it takes much cpu, so maybe I might just do it in vlc?
There is a way to change the setting in XBMC. have to find out if theres a way to do it in from the plugin...



If you have time now, we can do that now. I might need your help in getting some logs.

Give me a few minutes and I'll tell you what to look for.

EDIT: Ok can you spam the button a few times for each button (Remember the order that you pressed those buttons ) that you want implemented and then send me a copy of the log.
The buttons ids get outputted to the log: self.log('onAction ' + str(action))

It looks like menu is 6 on apple tv... but 6 is also page down on the pc?

EDIT2: Let me know how this works for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?wbl7b9i1d291mcz

Sure... I'll test this shortly.

No luck. Here's my xbmc.log from the apple tv2 when I click menu a ton of times.

I don't see any "onAction" output in the log file but you can see that the transcoding works great. Is that logging not getting called for some reason?

PS... did I send you the wrong .log file? In looking at your code, the "print" statements go into the xbmc.log that I sent you just fine... but you're using "self.log". Where does that get output to? And why are you using self.log for onAction output instead of "print"?

not sure. maybe switch it to print if you can. I'll be back later. lunch...

I switched the self.log to print statements in EPGWindow.py but no luck. The XBMC log file still doesn't show any onAction prompts. No rush to look into this. Keep me posted once you're back and get more time and I'm happy to keep playing around with this depending on what you recommend.

EDIT: Looks like PseudoTV has this issue too

I see that key in your original log with the file permission error: http://pastebin.com/vbHFrgBj
EDIT2: Try that: http://www.mediafire.com/?rd92c9hhis7iv67

Run into an issue where suddenly every client seems to be buffering every couple of seconds. Looking at the running processes, it looks like VLC is not consuming too much CPU... any suggestion?

EDIT: A reboot on the server side seems to have solved the issue. Video looks wonderful at 720, 4000
EDIT 2: Spoke too soon, it happend again. Maybe we should give higher priority to VLC process?

When does it happen? Immediately after starting a video?
I should have vlc create a log file.

A few minutes after the stream starts. It looks like VLC stops encoding for some reason...

Added VLC logging. Let see if anything interesting comes up.

I cant reproduce the issue on my computers.

So if I can reproduce it, what file would you need to look at?

Not sure... maybe the log will give us a clue about why vlc is stopping
log is in the logs dir

Great find! ACTION_NAV_BACK = 92 works! e.g. on my ATV2, I now just hit the Menu button like I would on my client PC and it prompts me "are you sure you want to leave pseudotv" and when I click yes, it takes me back to the XBMC programs menu like I would have expected.

Great work... can you incorporate this fix enhancement into your next build?

Now that you added the ability to allow me to use the menu key to get back to the main menu, here are a couple other observations from running this on my ATV2:

1. When playing back other media, if I hold down the center/select button for a second or two, it brings up the "play controls" where I can adjust playback options etc... holding down the center/select in this addon does nothing
   
2. Pressing the Stop button my apple remote on my ATV2 stops playback and brings the control back to the Programs menu, but I can't navigate around. It seems like the "focus" is not on the menu as it is when I click menu to exist and then "yes" on the "are you sure" prompt.
   UPDATE: When I'm back on the Programs menu in this situation, I simply hit menu like I would have if tv was playing and it prompts me for the "are you sure" despite nothing playing and then I click yes to get control back to allow me to navigate. Can you improve what happens in this case so when I click Stop, it truly stops playback gracefully and takes me back to the menu so I can control things without having to hit the menu button?

Not home, but:

1. I actually have that key disabled. Will put it in later.

2. Known issue on all systems. I'll fix this in next release too
