Best way is to explain what you are watching.
1. Freeview
2. Freesat
3. Normal satellite
4. IPTV
It happens randomly.
I use my box for various tasks. I've got DiSEQC switches attached to both satellite tuners. Both of them are connected to 28.2E and 13E. Tuner C is connected to FreeView. I also have a CIFS share mounted to my box (The freezing happens regardless of the share being mounted or not), and I use the OpenATV media player to access the resources on [CIFS share]. I also stream channels using RTSP to various devices around my house.
It will happen at random. Whether I'm watching a satellite feed or streaming stuff from my NAS. Sometimes, the box is stable for days then just randomly freezes for no apparent reason.
I was using Grogbuild at one point, but I found it to be far too unstable. So I flashed a fresh/clean/unaltered copy of OpenATV to it and the freezing and such reduced dramatically.
Sometimes, the UI freezes but audio still works fine.
My suspicions:
- A third party application or some sort of service in the background is trying to do something but hits an exception, which isn't handled in code.
- Even though I bought my box directy from zgemma themselves, there's a chance I've either got a clone box or I've got some dodgy hardware in my box
My questions:
- Is there a way to get some sort of stack trace from the box whilst it's stable and when it's in a crashed state?
- Is there a way for us all to compare what hardware we have in our boxes to see if we have a bad batch/clone boxes?
