Streams locks up XBMC in +/-25 minutes

January 7th, 2009

I have a problem.
When i play a stream it always locks up in about 25 minutes or so.
I can still FTP to the xbox but that's about it.
The picture freezes and the whole xbox is not responding anymore.
It happens with all sorts and types of streams.
Here is the log ( last lines )

Anyone a clue. I allready tried some cache settings but then it doesn't play the file anymore ( weird behaviour )

Notice this line :

Erm it's playing so why is this displayed.

Lower resolution to 720p and as decrease (do not increase!) the cache, then try again, if than does the same (which it might, but after a longer time) then lower the reolution to 480p.

Reason; 1080i uses to much memory, see http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#I_use_XBMC_in_HDTV _resolution_.28720p_or_1080i.29_and_when_I_try_pla y_a_video_or_audio_file.2Fstream_it_fails.2C_what_ can_I_do.3F

PS! The PC3 skin also uses less memory than MC360 so that is a better choise if running on HDTV.

OK i've set it to CACHE 256
Resolution 480P and deault SKIN
It still locks up.
I've found out that when i pause a stream and i press resume after a half an hour it locks up in a second.
Could there be a memory leak that causes this lock up?

The FTP and WEBSERVER are still running and available when it locks up

I feel very stupid ..i changed the settings of XBMC ..for the skin...forgot to do it for the video option.

Cache is set to 256 now. Running a testdrive right now.

Thank you for your help.

I recently soft-modded my xbox, and I have the same problem. I can watch movies from the network but after 10-20minutes it will lock up. I tried reducing cache and switching it to 720p. Nothing works. However, I decided to reinstall it on my xbox to see if it would fix it and it did for that night, it didn't lock up once. But today, it locks up again. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
