bad video and high pitch audio tone #33
Comments
|
I have no external USB devices connected on either of my M1 units when this happens. I also experience a random video freeze, mainly with h.264 content, where the audio keeps playing. After pausing playback the video will eventually catch up at a faster speed. |
|
just happened to me today, while playing 1080p mkv w/ dts 6.1 audio. 00:00:17 T:1093865120 NOTICE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
was that a freeze, hang, crash or did a magic bunny appear ? |
|
to me it was like the box crashed, my ssh session died and i couldn't get back in. i had to pull the plug to get the bunny to appear =) |
|
I am getting the same freezing, high pitched tone, no SSH and rainbow pattern. Would you like more logs on this issue. I can't reliably reproduce it, i.e. playing the same file will not crash at the same point or possibly at all. |

I triggered the problem, but no working theory at this point. I managed to produce a mosaic with high pitched squealing by sending a jsonrpc message to the device. I'd sent the same command twice to the device: The first notification played as expected. The second triggered the magic bunny, which I will now forever use to mean a hard irrecoverable crash with bright colors and loud noises . Some things are just too good to pass up. My logs don't even the second JSONRPC log entry for the request, the device locked up hard before it could write the log entry. Subsequent tests show that repeatedly sending that command with the same ID number has no effect. I can't trigger it again. |
|
how are you sending the json commands ? |
|
Telnet to port 9090 copy/paste the command in the crash case. I'd sent probably a half dozen malformed commands to the server prior to the crash case via a test golang based client. In these cases the server was well behaved and dropped the requests as expected (with logs). |

davilla@rootcoder:~/shared/json-test$ telnet 192.168.2.62 9090 works :) Are you telnet'ing from a) linux, b) osx, c) windows ? |
|
Nope, you're right, I don't have anything conclusive, just a strange coincidence that both sensite's logs and my experience look like an RPC may have triggered the crash. I have some more experiments to run when I get home later. in all cases, I was telnetting from osx 10.8 - golang client rpcs were sent from a linux box. |

Well, there goes that theory. I've been hammering the box for over 24 hours and it's held up like a champ. Clearly this is not a viable way of triggering the issue, even if it worked, which it does not. Back to the drawing board. |
|
well, I did learn an easy way to send json strings :) |
from speedster:
I'm running 5af262e and at random during playback the screen will show a rainbow pattern of lines and audio will change to a high pitched tone.
Seems to happen for h264 video, I haven't had it occur with Xvid. This has happened on two units, one with passthrough enabled and one without.
I've attached a picture and xbmc log for assistance debugging, unfortunately as it occurs at random I haven't had debug logging enabled.

the same thing happens to me, so far twice since the move to frodo. i think the cause for this also causes the freeze in video having to do w/ usb devices?
