Raspberry PI: TVDB Banner image locks UI

[nils-werner]

Apparently the image http://thetvdb.com/banners/graphical/121361-g19.jpg from TVDB causes the UI to lock up when it is being processed by the system in any way.

The device locks up when I try to scrape the information from TVDB but the data does end up in the system.

After a reboot, the "Show Mediainfo" menu has the plot snippet and poster there and also the fanart loads. But when I change into "banner" view the device locks up again. Same when I try to change the banner-selection in the GUI.

This is probably fixed with latest firmware:
Hexxeh/rpi-firmware@b68696f

(the Firmware: Skip unused jpeg markers part).

I can confirm this. The new firmware fixes this issue.

Funny thing, I tried a FW from 4 days ago and it was fixed 3 days ago :-D

My box crashes when using the XBMC iPad app and viewing the TV Show banners, however doesn't do it when viewing Movie thumbnails. I do have that G.O.T banner.

I have the issue in all devel builds post Mar 26 including yesterdays. Is it the same issue?

Did you update the firmware files to the most recent version?

I haven't yet - how's best to update the firmware?

Download fixup.dat and start.elf from https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware, and place them in /flash/ on your raspi:

Via SSH:

mount -o remount,rw /flash/
cd /flash
wget https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/raw/master/start.elf -O start.elf
wget https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/raw/master/fixup.dat -O fixup.dat
reboot

Working fine now, thanks :)

Anybody know when this firmware will be included with the devel builds? At the min everytime I flash a new devel it reverts to the firmware with the bug and I have to manually update....

It's included in rbej's builds:

How/when does it get included in other devel builds such as those at http://openelec.thestateofme.com?
