Centrafuse RC3.1 Bugs

**justintime** · 09-24-2006, 04:57 PM

I found a bug, I think? (unless it is a 'feature')

If you set up or connect to a web page that reloads automatically every 15 seconds, then the LOADING message appears regardless of what screen you are on. For example, I am in Media screen, but every time the web page reloads (behind my media screen) the LOADING dialog pops up in front.

I think the LOADING dialog message should be disabled if Web is not the frontmost app.

I use no navigation as I use CF at home on my htpc.

I can now reproduce this bug everytime.
1) Start CF
2) Go to 'Settings'
3) Go to 'General'
4) Click on 'Language'
5) Choose a language and click 'Ok'
6) Click 'Save' on the 'General' screen
A dialog will pop up asking: 'Overwrite current settings?'
7) Click 'Yes'
A new dialog will pop up reading: 'Changing skin'
It will disapear, but CF still displays the 'General' screen and the 'Save' button will stay highlighted. From this point on, everything will be as described earlier.

I tried it with music playing, music paused, music stopped with either a playlist loaded or not (by simply ejecting all playlists) and it happens everytime. Visualisation is set to display the cover art and I have deleted all other Visualisation files in the folder, because CF had a bad habbit of switching back to a vis when all I want is coverart. CF will eat 99% CPU while this happens. Sometimes other buttons on the 'General' screen stay responsive, sometimes not - but at all times I'm not able to leave the 'General' settings screen; it always crashes CF.

I cannot reproduce this following the exact steps... Does it create an error.log file? If so please post or email it...

note: Try to also remove all the plugins from the plugins folder and then re-create the issue... If that does not stop it then set your startup page to MAINPAGE and do not load Media, then try to reproduce it... Trying to narrow down where this could be... And it should be creating an error.log file...

No it doesn't create an error log, but I think I nailed the bug down. It only happens if I use my custom skin. I just changed the skin to one shipped with CF and it behaved correctly. Exited CF, fired it up again and changed to my skin it loaded correctly. Did the steps reported and it happend again. The only thing I can think of is that there was some change in the skin system since RC1 because I created the skin using that version. I could send you the skin if you'd like to investigate it further.

Then it would be something in my changeskin function I need to verify if the skin is properly formatted...

that helps...

There was one other user reporting this issue... What skin were you using?

Well I modded the Onyx WS Night to fit scale to 800x600. I changed various png's and used the skin editor posted in this forum to edit the xml. I atached the xml to this post. I hope that this helps. If you need more information or files I'll gladly send them to you.

When you set up NON-GUI apps, you leave out the window name param

Seconded!

Updates..

I doubled checked... I don't have voice enabled anywhere in CF. No prompts, not in Nav, no voice control.

My startup location rights fine on 4 different machines and noone else has reported this...

I have a repro, and it doesn't involve restarting CF.

Settings
General
Setup
RIGHT arrow
Startup location
Pick a plugin, not a function. "TRAFFIC" will show the bug
OK
Save
Yes
Go back to Setup (no restart required)
RIGHT arrow
Note "Startup location" is blank.

non-GUI flag removed, no window name I assume non-GUI plugin...

The MIC getting set to 50 might be because you have it set as your line-in device for XM or Radio... I set this level because if users have it too high and don't know to adjust it, which they can adjust later through the mixer, then the sound is distorted... I guess I should remeber where you set it and save it maybe... Is it causing an issue?

You are right... I wasn't testing with a plugin/web link... I will get this fixed...

David nav searching is taken longer again in this release.

If it does not happen again then it's simply that new visual I added, hopefully... That is the most generic .NET error possible and leads me no where to find the solution, I hoping it's just the new visual I added...

Let me know...

david

Not the visual, i've just deleted all the vis and still got the error, i think its in the skin.

Thank you!

Yes, it definitely is. THIS is the cause of my reported issues with the audio from (my) XM "doubling", i.e., I hear the direct playback from the XM receiver (via the MIC input) and the delayed playback from the WAV output.

fwiw, it's happening on return from hibernate as well. i.e., not just on CF startup.
