xbmc freezing

Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 2:53 pm

when ever i try and initiate voice chat with a friend xbmc always freezes, i have a fairly recent build 3-22. Am i missing something, also my friend has the same xbmc build.

I'm having the same problem. My friend and I are both using XBMC-2005-04-01. If we are on each others friends lists his xbox freezes when I log in. If I'm loged in first it usually doesn't cause a problem when he logs onto kai. But then if either of us tries to voice chat, the other person's xbox freezes (or they both freeze).... Help?

You: "My XBMC doesn't work!"
runtime: "Fu@$ off"

Seriously, you're going to have to provide a LOT MORE info that this, including exact replication details, and debug logs. If you have no idea how to do that, read the stickies in this forum. One of them talks of the "diabolical" quality of bug posts.

Here is an attempt to give you more:

I am running 2005-04-01 CVS build of XBMC. I have Kai (newist version - 7) running engine only mode on my windows 98 machine. All of my computers are connected to my cable connection via Linksys router (BEFSR41 V3 with Firmware Version: 1.05.00). No special firewals or anything like that.

My buddy is running the same build of XBMC. He has his Kai (newist version - 7) running engine only mode on a windows XP machine and is connected via a Linksys BEFW1154 with no other firewalls.

Both of our Kai's run fine, we can be in the same arena's and play games together. The problem occurs when we are on each others Friends lists. If I'm on his and hes not on mine there is no problem and vise versa. But as soon as he added me or I add him BOTH xboxes froze. When we both rebooted we were logged in and could see each other online. As soon as he tryed to start a voice chat with me my xbox froze. This generated the following XBMC log:

I hope this helps, it looked to me like this was the important stuff in the log. I can send or post any other config's or logs you need.... I'm a rookie, try not to get mad - I do want to help if I can.

I'm having the same problem, checked my log... same errors. tried on 2 different friends modded boxes. Is this a problem with the engine or my network?

I have a X3 modded Xbox running the most recent build of xbmc and latest xlink kai on my computer (xp sp2.. etc .. etc)

All networking is fine. Prior to xbox locking up (when still in xbmc) everything worked fine... could play games, look thru arenas.. etc etc.

The change.
I added a contact to my list (on the windows GUI, xbox off) and my friend added me to his list as well (same method). After that everytime I'd startup XBMC it would take about a minute then lock up/freeze (yet the LAN LED on the external x3 chip would still flash).

So I turned off the xlink engine and restarted the xbox. Xbox ran without a problem. started engine again... and in about a minute or so (didn't time it) again the xbox locked up.

My Solution.
Quite simply -- I deleted that contact in the Windows GUI (while xbox was off) and restarted the Engine and also xbox. All is fine no more lock ups.

I know this may not solve all problems but it is worth a try, just write down the xTag's of your friends before you delete them so you can add them later.

While it was in the locking up stage, i turned ON the highest level of logging, but there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Here is the log

At least i don't see anything that looks wrong.
Before i removed my contact I deleted all the cache of xbmc as suggested else were and that didn't work.

Again, I hope this helps people not have their xbox lock up as well as xLink Kai developers fix the 'problem' -- sorry I can't provide more detail but it really is as simple as that.

if its freezing when trying to voice chat with someone its because they don't have an avatar , ya i know it sounds weird ... their should be a fix in the newest (possibly still CVS) xbmc for it ..

edit .. i can't remember where i read that tho ... i am having the same problem and i just searched :]

I believe this was fixed with the latest release:
From the Changelog: - 15-04-2005 fixed: kai, crash when friend has no avatar

However, I'm still having the problem when trying to re-establish a voice chat. For more detail, please check this thread on XBMC's forums.

Are we the only one with this problem? We removed all but one contact from the friends list, and we both have avatars.

We are running xbmc-2005-05-02, and I deleted the XBMC settings (TDATA\0face008 and UDATA\0face008).
Here's an attempt to describe the steps taken:

1) When XBMC is loaded, select a friend and click Voice.
2) Stop the conversation by clicking Voice again
3) Try to re-establish the conversation (click Voice)
4) XBMC freezes.

I tried step 3 with both the kai toast message on screen, and after it disappeared. It also sometimes freeze on step 1.

I looked everywhere, but all I found were references to the "no avatar" fix which doesn't apply to our case.

This happens when after playing a game, you reboot the xbox and try to go back to a voice chat in XBMC (to coordinate a new game for example). Because the voice session seems to be still active, you need to cancel it and reactivate, and causes the crash.
