xbmc-rbp-git: Black screen while playing video

[smaxer]

Hi eyeryone,

xbmc-rbp-git isn't working right for me since updates greater than 13.20131021. The Menu and navigation work fine but when I try to play a video I only get a balck screen without sound or anything. However I can fast forward and rewind and pause and stop the video but only the little "play control" in the upper right conner shows where I'm currently in the video the screnn and sound are still blank.

As soon as I donwgrade to 13.20131021 xbmc works fine again.

One log for example:

Thanks for any help!

move out .xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml and retry.

[smaxer]

Thanks that worked! What was the problem with the old guisettings?

[dhead666]

This is a known incompatibilty of that setting file due to some changes.
I'm not sure what was the culprit value in the file but you would probably won't encounter this again.
