OK We have had a few different manifestation of the issue. Freezing on trying to exit from a playing TV Episode. Frozen Menu after exit and the usual working menus but no rhumbnail or banners being displayed any attempt to play anything at this point results in a frozen system.
You have PM with log information. It would probably be useful if the grab-logs utility was to have a save to disk feature or a sanitise feature/option before it uploads the various log files.
I was unable to upload the logs using sudo grab-logs -A
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo grab-logs -A
Exception Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/grab-logs”, line 636, in dispatch_logs
raise ValueError(‘Upload Returned Empty String’)
ValueError: Upload Returned Empty String
Failed to upload log files, copying to /boot instead. (Unable to verify)
The log is 32MB. We only allow 10MB ones. Normally we give a Document Size Exceeded error, but I don’t think Varnish (the reverse proxy) allows a post that large, so it never reached the backend.
It looks like we are back to the end of the log OMX related issues. However this pi was not dist-upgraded so does not have the updated libs etc. that would have normally been installed using the updater which we are currently ignoring.
I’ll talk with @popcornmix and let you know when we have something new to try.
There were some changes to guarding VCHIQ calls, which meant that even if they would fail, there would be no crash. We then reverted them, but then we put them back in as a precaution.
We need to work out what has changed, which commits may be problematic, and produce some builds from there.
Good. So we know the March patches are good and May patches are bad.
My understanding is that April was bad too. @sparticle Can you confirm that April has same issues as May?
The first build is the latest Jarvis code, the latest @popcornmix code, and an additional commit to improve vsync handling. Please try this build first.
@sam_nazarko@popcornmix OK the fist of these builds is testing now. Transcript below.
