Fast fwd 16x locks main enigma2 thread

[gnou22]

Using onpenvix 3.0.649 on an ultimo.

When playing a recorded movie, fast forward beyond 4x frequently locks the main thread (spinner forever; need to powercycle).

I have pasted below a timestamped enigma2 log near the problem. You can see the last 4 FFWD key events (2x,4x,8x,16x) taken into account and the detection of the main thread deadlock: "main thread is non-idle! display spinner!" correlated with user experience.

Note the precise FFWD ratio at which it occurs is variable: mostly 16, but sometimes 8 or 4.

What type of file were you watching?
Also, build 3.0.649 is pretty old now.
Try a fresh flash of the latest version available from http://openvix.co.uk

From 649 no online update should be made; a flash is required to get all options to work properly.

If you first make a backup, you can use that for restoring during the First Install Wizard. That way your box will be up & running within minutes.
