Ok, then update with this version LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.0-test-ir-01.tar and report if there is any change. Seems it does behave little different even for me.

No need for ir-keytable changes.

Well, it seems that fixed the Harmony Remote problem. I tried 10 or more directories and the all worked properly --- 1 press = 1 icon moved in each direction up/down/right/left, including the slider bar on the right and the pop-out on the left. (using Confluence skin). Looks like you got it...BTW...I installed by dropping the 4 files into "update" folder and rebooting.

Can you open ssh session and check with ir-keytable command how much is repeat delay? Before it was 200 ms but now it is 500 ms.
You can set back to 200 with this command:

Code

ir-keytable --delay=200
or
ir-keytable --delay=2000

Then check again with ir-keytable command if time was set. You can also try to increase repeat rate with --period=

If this doesn't help can I make you one test image (with kernel 4.4 or with 3.14)?

I think I was able to find and change from 500 to 200...still no joy... what follows is the info from ir-keytable (after the change)...please make sure I did it right

LibreELEC:/usr/bin # ir-keytable -D --device=/dev/input/event1
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event1) with:
Driver gpio-rc-recv, table rc-rc6-mce
Supported protocols: unknown other lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce-kbd rc-6 sharp xmp
Enabled protocols: lirc nec rc-6
Name: gpio_ir_recv
bus: 25, vendor/product: 0001:0001, version: 0x0100
Repeat delay = 200 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

If building an image, please use kernel 4.4...I'm on 8.0.0 at present...(also, the above change did not appear to last through a reboot?)

Steve

Sorry to say...the adjustment of the repeat suggested as a fix to this problem does not work. I went from default (3) to 0 (trying each step in between) and it still skips on the second or third press. I agree with Captain Hero...something was broken in the LIRC work that occurred in 7.95.3 and needs to be fixed there, not in the Harmony remote (or All-in-One if even possible, there).

the problem still exists in le8

+1 with the Harmony Remote too

Quote from vpeter

Maybe it was fixed by itself

Actually I didn't have much time to look into this issue. I could reproduce it with pictures send by spschneer and this is next thing to fix (audio not working immediately after boot is fixed but not yet included in the build).

Well, it isn't really fixed...It appears to still be crashing but now it seems to be only when the Thumbnails are regenerated on a directory of pictures. I have two Cubox' with local DB's (no shared). One showed the thumbnails perfectly and didn't crash even after several viewings of the directory. The other crashed soon after it started to rebuild the thumbnails of the same directory...ARRRRGGG>...

It is the same batch of pictures I sent to vpeter so it should (hopefully) crash if you tell it to rebuild thumbnails (I use Thumbnail view for my pictures default view)...

Steve

Hi,
Just updated to LE 8.0.0 and it works...Even on the picture directory that would crash it every time...Looks like its fixed ... YEAH...great job...

Quote from danielk

hi all,
first, i know that the cubox is not official supported.
i did a clean install with the latest beta provided.
the problem is that i can't use my oneforall Remote. the cursor is
too sensitive, and when moving it with the rows. got not respond.
when i tick to the right it moves to the end etc'.

this problem doesn't exists in the beta-2, which is the one that i'm using.

thx in advanced.

Also having a similar problem with Harmony Remote. Moving to next item on screen (up or down, side to side) usually works okay. Moving to the second one over skips one or more items and ends up on the third (or last) item over. Only happens on 7.95.3 ... 7.95.2 and earlier work fine.

Thanks also...

Yes please: upload zip file with images somewhere.

Seems I missed this thread. How can I reproduce? Is there a problem with specific image or images in general?
I put few images in Pictures folder and I can show them just fine.

I have a media server with all my pictures/videos/music on my network. "Some" of the picture directories will error every time while building the thumbnails for the JPG's in the folder. Some(80-90%) will never error. I see no specific issues with the subdirectories that have a problem and can copy the pictures in them to another subdirectory and they may or may not have a problem.

The issue has been happening since the beginning of Kodi 17/LibreElec 8 and does not happen in 7.0.3. (nor in OE6 where I came from). I have both upgraded and new-installed and it happens on both. I can view these same directories with Kodi 17 on Windows 10 and there's no problem at all.

I can send/upload a zip with the pictures that (almost always) have a problem if you'd like to try them. Would probably suggest putting them on a networked drive via SMB access to replicate my architecture. JPGs add up to about 60MB (not sure how big the zip would be)...

Thanks for the interest. Let me know if you want more info, or the pictures uploaded or whatever...

Steve

Just rolled back to 7.0.3 to verify that still works properly (no crash on any of my picture folders). Will stay here on 7.0.3 until there's some acknowledgement that there's a problem and there's a possible fix for testing.

Thanks
Steve

Still happening with 7.95.2 ... same symptoms

Not sure if this is the info needed (see attachment), couldn't access /storage/.kodi/... from windows and didn't know how to transfer a file via putty terminal.

This was in the subdirectory \\LibreElec\logfiles\ (from my windows laptop) just after a session that was only a browse of a pictures subdirectory that caused the crash.

Thanks

here is the latest kodi.old.log

Just downloaded the LibreElec Beta(Kodi RC1) and the crash on pictures is still happening. Cannot capture crashlog since the entire system goes away and reboots. I did completely re-install from scratch on a new MicroSD card so it doesn't appear to be "update" related. I downloaded and then installed using the SD Creator tool.

I've seen a couple of other reports of crashes/spontaneous reboots with Kodi Picture viewer, both here and on the Cubox forum, and on Kodi forum.

If there's anything else I can provide I'll be happy to try.

HW is Cubox i4pro. Viewing jpg photos and viewing the same directory/photo's using Kodi on Windows 10 works fine.

Thanks

I think it's Kodi since I'm not getting any of the "BIOS" level text messages on the screen. Corrected...
I think it's LibreElec since I'm getting a LE splash Screen then the Kodi Logo, then the Main menu screen when it crashes.

Just a barely gray box (center 2/3s of screen) and then the Kodi reboot screen(s). It appears to completely reload Kodi properly but will again crash if I browse one of the directory's with the pictures.

It seems to be related to the presence/absence of the thumbnails. If the thumbnails are completely built in the directory, it appears the crash does not happen. If the thumbnails are not completely built for the directory, it will crash sooner or later. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter how many pictures are in the directory, or the size of the pictures themselves. If the thumbnails are all there, it doesn't crash; if they aren't all built, it will.

I just reloaded and re-installed and found there's another "symptom". When it crashes, and reloads, and I re-enter the Pictures menu selection, it shows the "First Run help" screen as though I haven't been into this menu selection. When I click "OK", it does show the top level thumbnails (that are built from the subdirectory contents), even though it just said it was the first time in. Evidently a flag is getting wiped as part of the crash that tells the skin I've been here before...

Not every top level thumbnail is built. There are about 10 not built, scattered thru the top level screens, even though some at the very end of the directory are done....

I know what you mean about getting useful info...haven't been able to capture anything...

Having a crash when trying to view pictures in LibreElec 8.0 Beta 10. It might be a memory constraint/run-out issue. Appears in directories until the Thumbnails are completely built then crashes appear to stop happening but some directories never get finished building. Does not appear to be related to number of jpg's in directory, nor to size of jpg's.
Problem / Crash does not happen in V7.0/Kodi 16 (V7.0.3). Does not happen in same version(17.0 beta 7 - compile date 12/19/2016)) of Kodi on my windows 10 laptop.

Hardware is Cubox I4Pro , wired interface to network,

Let me know if there's any more info I can provide

Spent a couple of hours and have most everything working.

I must have read your post wrong, size error means that the system partition is to small. You will have to do a clean install.

The image size has gotten bigger over the years and we have out grown our initial size.

Okay...tried that too....(see paragraph 5 above)...failed with a looping during boot process with display of the LE logo, then blank, then greyed out LE logo, then blank, and repeat ...

Can I resize the partitions on the existing MicroSD card (using gparted)? I'm using an 8GB MicroSD. If so, what size should I go to?

Just tried a new install from scratch on a different MicroSD card ... Got yet another different result...

Boot process went as follows:

System partition resized normally and rebooted properly
System loaded and got a few errors of services/items not started properly etc.
Screen blanked and then Kodi (V16.1 - Jarvis) logo appeared, got one or two "bongs" of sound effects then nothing ...Kodi Logo still up.

I seem to remember another thread that indicated this was a GUISettings issue but can't find it at the moment...

[hr]
Finally gave up and rebooted, and IT WORKED...system came up to the wizard to setup Kodi and allowed me to conifgure the network connections, display characteristics and the rest of the system....I'm going to restore my backup (from OE 6.95.3 with my settings and see if that gives back my metadata, etc...

Will keep progress in this thread so maybe it will help someone in the future...

Dont unpack the tar, just place the tar file in the update folder.

Thanks for the fast reply...

No joy...

• re-downloaded the tar "LibreELEC-imx6.arm-7.0.1.tar" ,
• verified the MD5 against the one on this website, (got 0b3632a4eaa4149efe4da62a56216759)
• copied the tar file to the updates folder on the Cubox box,
• rebooted,
• same results - size error on system when trying to extract/expand/process...

Not sure what's next...
