vomp hangs / box frozen

[braindead]

Hi all,

I have a problem with some channels that seem to send no data or corrupted data (e.g. scrambled channels).

If i switch to such a channel the screen keeps black (nothing unusual till now) but if i try to change the channel or press 'exit/back' the system freezes (well not the whole system, but the application).

Here is the debug log:

Please let me know if i should do some tests to help to solve this problem.

Alright, it seems nobody cares. Here's a patch that solves the problem for me.
I don't know what side effects are caused by this (I'm new to the code). However. It works for me.

 I too have this problem.  I will test your patch and report back. Thanks.

Hi,

I had the same problem. With your patch, this problem is solved.

Thank you very much.

I have this problem too, but for me it solved only the problem on FTA Channels.
On NonFTA Channels I often get 'Channel not availabe'

My temporary Solution for this:

Code Select Expand


if (state == S_PLAY) return;
  lock();

  switchState(S_PLAY);
  MILLISLEEP(500);
  unLock();

Maybe someone can fix this right.

I have these problems with unavailable channels, too.
Would be great if a patch could be included in the next version.

hmm.
i'm trying your patch ...
is it meant to make the client able to escape any hanger?
(my MVP still hangs on unavailable channels)

by the way... its a NICE CVS version.

cheers

At least it should solve these Bug like Braindad said:

Hello,

my H4 revision MVP often hang up too. Can anybody build an actual dongle version with the Patch included for me ?
I don't have a development environment and can't compile a version by myself.

Please send it per Email to me or tell me a link for downloading.

Thanks a lot !

Arcon

PS.: Please excuse my bad english !

Does anyone know if this patch made it into CVS?

[hondansx]

No, it isn't.
