Hiya!

I've been trying out the Eden ION Openelec builds on my Acer Revo 3600 for a coupla weeks, and I'm wondering how everybody else is finding the nightlies?

Compared to the Eden nightlies I install on my laptop (Win 7 64 bit):

-Openelec Eden will sometimes freeze the video whilst audio continues in the back - have to manually restart XBMC. Happens with both standard AVI and HD MKV / MP4. Happens mostly at random points in a video, but sometimes immediately upon starting a video and after seeking or pausing. I would estimate this happens once every 5 videos played
-Openelec will freeze 9 out of 10 times when selecting Reboot or Shutdown from the Settings menu (regardless of skin used)
-Trakt Utilities will freeze the system whenever trying to write to the XBMC library - ie when sycing Trakt watched episodes with the XBMC library. Happens both at startup (if enabled to sync at startup) or if syncing manually. Can successfully read the library however. This issue does not seem to occur for other users in the Trakt thread on the XBMC forums.

I'm currently running the Eden nightlies off a USB drive, and all my media is connected via Samba shares from a NAS; most shares are password protected. This might have a bearing on my freezing experiences.

I would love to hear from others running a similar setup to see if this is par for the course for Eden nightlies (which is perfectly fine, considering it is beta), or is there something particularly damaged about my installation. I have already tried starting from scratch with another nightly. I run the minimum of plugins, which in my case is Youtube, Trakt utilities, and whatever other plugins come preinstalled with Eden and the reFocus Eden skin. I'm not running sabnzbd or sickbeard or anything like that.

Thanks

I use the Eden version on a Xtreamer Ultra and it is working fine. Run this now for a few months and every few weeks i do an update of the nightly build. In the begining i only had some problems when i shut down the system, the it freeze. But now al is working fine for months.

Indeed try to use for a test a share without password.

Look here an maby you will find soms extra info you can use.

Acer Revo 3700 here and since the video crash bug was recently fixed it's been perfect and runs 24/7 without a problem.

Hmmm I'm definitely doing something wrong so, it might either be down to running off a USB disc (can't be very efficient) or perhaps as a result of running trak utilities on openelec.

I should take a closer look at the xbmc logs to see what happens when these freezes occur.

On the other hand I may just bite the bullet and install Eden to the main disc and give it a go. Live dangerously!

Thanks for the feedback

Yeb very few hitches here really - using the Openelec PVR B2 build from around 22/1 - for ages I ummed and aahed about putting it on my main machine then though f*ck it and wentr ahead and am very glad I did - PVR support was actually the driver for me.

There's a few glitches with the EPG lacking info sometimes, but overall for watching telly live it works great, and I only really use that for the kids.

Other than Eden B2 is working very well indeed now, although I too have noticed on 'reboot' it sometimes crashes and restarts xbmc, but then 'reboot' again works...no biggie really.

Further update: I've disabled the Trakt utilities plugin completely and stability is practically 100% now, I've been watching loads of videos the last few days and no weird hangs or crashes. Reboot and shutdown has worked the couple of times I've tried.

Obviously the beta version of the Eden trakt utilities is not ready for openelec Eden. Which is a shame, as I'm pretty OCD about tracknig my TV Shows online

It's worth Eden alone however to have working a working Youtube plugin and access to the latest skins and features. I'll try trakt again in the future.
