[v8.95.2 BETA] - Very long delay before Autoplay CD kicks in

  • Hello,

    I recently updated to v8.95.2 BETA, from a Milhouse build, but the following issue was also present on the Milhouse build I was using (from 22. june 2018)

    Hardware : raspberry pi 3B, running from SD card, justboom audio DAC hat (btw - that worked admirably well - plugged it in, on first boot it was default output without config!), and an external cd/dvd drive connected to a powered USB hub.

    I am using the default skin (Estuary).

    I used to have power problems (yellow thunder occurring occasionally) which I suspected to be the cause of this, but since I recently I bought a proper powersupply, the thunder is gone, but the problem persists.

    Symptoms : put a CD into the CD drive and close it. It immediately starts spinning. For a "short eternity" (around 2 minutes) nothing at all happens, then the music starts to play.

    A log snippet is attached. There is some activity regarding DVD and CD at the beginning and end of it. Inbetween there is only a huge amount of noise from two plugins (vpn manager and mediathekview), but I haven't been able to locate anything else suspicious. cd_autoplay.zip

    Little over 10s after closing the CD tray, a "Disc" menu item appears. I can go into it, and click "Play disc" (not done when recording attached log). This renders kodi unresponsive for over a minute (I'm controlling via web-app, don't know if keyboard works). After ca 1 minute, the cd starts playing, and kodi is responsive again.


    Expectations : well, the music should start playing a bit sooner.

    Greetings,

    Indriði

  • Additional info:

    I disabled the addons that clogged up the debug log, and also disabled the CDDB lookup for CDs, with no effect - it still takes around 2 minutes for autoplay to start playing.

    I also noticed, that if I go to Disc -> Eject once the system is freshly started, with a CD in the player, it also becomes unresponsive for 1-2 minutes, before ejecting the disc.
