Version 263 contains a number of improvements for stability contributed by @@paul777 (one of the original MB devs and the one who got me involved in the project, btw).

 

Please give this version a full go and make sure we didn't break anything in the process (especially plug-ins).  And, if you use 360 extenders, please try this out with them as I believe it will mean much better performance and stability for those devices.

Noticeably snappier on my 360s.  It's like it was prior to me upgrading all my poster art.

 

I did still get lockups after playing a video (or stopping a video).  It looks like it "wants to continue a little farther" - It returns to the movie info screen (which is where it would lockup before) and I can now hit back again and it will start to go back another screen before it locks up.  Nothing in the log of use:

My experience was virtually identical to @@mediaGuy. Moving around the menu was prompt and and quick - selected and played an ep without problem, stopped playback and backed out to the main menu without problem. Went back into the same show to check the new interface, which worked quickly - using the interface had been sluggish in the previous version. Did a few chapter jumps. Tried to back out to the top menu and the extender crashed. This is the same crash as I have had with the previous version.

Well, at least it is an improvement :).  @@paul777 any ideas...?

WMC on Windows 7 seems unable to load this at all, throws an 'unable to load' error.

Need more info please.  Exactly where do you see that error?  When doing what?  Log?

Posted

This might have actually fixed a long standing issue I had (the issue only occurred using certain long unsupported themes that you'll have to pry out of my cold dead hands)..

 

Interface is snappier (win 7 64 bit media center), and prior to this version whenever I would hit one specific category on the EHS it would crash..every time.  tonight, it's working again.

* "Play from here" in MB Plus Smart List or suggested not working.

 

And "not working" means...?

 

I discovered a problem with MB Plus last night as it appears a public method it uses was changed so playing to an external player crashed MBC.  Is this what you saw or something else?

Posted

I've also discovered the configurator crashes when trying to edit external players.

 

I'm about to push a new dev release and a new release of MB Plus Classic.

With v264 on my extender, the interface is a bit laggier than on 263. Testing 'new' interface for skipforward/back, there is noticeable lag where there had been none on 263. Chapter skip is very laggy - less though than on the beta release, but enough to be hard to use.

 

However, no crashes yet observed when using back to come back to the top menu. I am cautiously optimistic

 

I'm planning to move my xbox to the bedroom so the missus can watch neighbours, and was planning to put the old interface back. I'm hoping @@ebr can make chapter skip a bit less laggy while curing the crashes.

There is absolutely no difference between 263 and 264 in these areas so this is just coincidental.

264 seems to have resolved my lock-ups (fingers crossed).

I guess I should install this...

Overall performance is up on extenders, I played multiple items, moving back and forth through the interface going to the EHS drilling through libraries. It eventually locked up after finish playing a HD movie on the extender.

Used the extender for four hours last night without a crash. Interface a little laggy, but nothing you wouldn't expect with a 360. No crashes!

 

Under previous versions of the client I would see the extender pause when backing out to the top menu, before moving to the top menu entry for the show I'm reversing out of. Under 264 this is not happening (this is good).

After having a play around with it, it looks like my extender issues are gone, however It looks as if the context options, "play all", "Random" etc.. no longer seem to work, (Even using chocolate)

Posted

I'm afraid I'm gonna need more than "no longer seem to work"... ;)  What, exactly, happens?  Log?  Same on the host machine?

Not checked the log, as my wife only pointed it out to me as i was leaving for work, basically, it just does nothing, no play or loading indicator, simply nothing as if the button hasn't fired an event.

Posted

I can't reproduce that so will need more info when you can.

I get this in the log for pressing play on a series... and season level on play all and play random

It cannot play that avi file.  I've had similar problems with AVIs and have had to farm them out to MPC-HC.
