Rockbox crashes when Pictureflow is started via WPS Hotkey

[AsusFreak]

Hi.

We currently have another problem with the daily build.

Starting the PictureFlow Plugin via WPS Hotkey from the While Playing Screen and jumping back causes a crash of the player.

This hits all themes and all players but especially those themes with touchareas defined as WPS Hotkey (AF_Flow, AF_Black, AF_Remote and maybe others, too).

To get rid of it please check your *.wps files.
If you have something like this:
T(x,x,x,x,hotkey)
you must not use this area or change it like this:
T(x,x,x,x,browse)

Or - much more easier - make sure that you change the following in your configuration setup:
Settings-General Settings-Hotkey-WPS Hotkey
Switch it to Off if it's set to Pictureplugin.

The bug is filed to Flyspray here (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11595?project=1&type=2&order=dateopened&sort=desc) and the discussion on the rockbox forum is here (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=25618.0).

I saw this bug two weeks ago (a bit moer or less) but because I don't know anything about coding I didn't notice where to post the bug.or ask who about it(is it the theme, the core, the...)

And while staying with an earlier release like r27530 you don't have the problem:D
I hope the releases will get more stable in the near future...

... and as you can see in the rockbox forum they discuss to push the thread to another topic - I took it at the wrong place, too.

r27965 fixed the problem.
You are able to jump correctly and without a crash to the plugin and back.

So all themes with hotkey touchareas will work again, too.

its fixed completely? or just the Pictureflow ?

As I can see:
- no more crashes via PictureFlow, jump to and back works correctly again
- Playlist seems to work correctly
- Rockbox starts with sound

Current issues:
- Pictureflow menu does not use the backdrop or the colours of the theme
- animations are really slow (tested with my AF_Black, will be a problem for themes like retrotape as well)
- the buffer for font loading seems to be decreased (AF_Remote has problems to load the fonts, I'm just recoding the theme)
- redrawing of time based viewports have a problem (AF_Black does not redraw the backdrop when the Onscreen buttons disapear)

My personal conclusion:
"Simple" themes without conditionals with timing (like AF_Sand, AF_Satin, AF_Metal, AF_Wood, AF_Flow and others) work correctly while themes with animations or other time-based actions will stay with problems.
So r27530 stays as my actual release to work with and I have an eye on the current builds

strange,first time I found it useless to use every place I pressed "ERORR" or erorr something appeared on the screen and it crashed losts of times.
so I downgraded to r27530 but after a while I tested the new builts but it didn't even boot mostly or black screen appeared. but now I tested 27996 It boots again no error appears on the screen but now it boots very slow and heavy when I press a button It reacts very slow when I try to shotdown I takes 30 secend and the screen freezes its like your using windows vista on pintium 3, even most times when I try to turn it off it won't turn off the screen well just freez.
so back agian to r27530

And here are the news of today:

r28051 worked well for me:
Only problem is the redraw of viewports in conditionals with timing -> Problem with AF_Black: Touching the screen deletes the whole album art and the track line stays empty for a while.

Attention:
r28058 brings back the blackscreen (FS#11618 (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11618))!
So we'll have to wait again for a stable release...

Hmm - we should open a thread: experiences with current builds, shouldn't we?
