Openelec addon, power saving, hdd sleep about service.openelec.settings

[stefansaraev]

hd-idle with settings addon is not intended to work with the drive you BOOT from. if you try that - this is not a bug.
if you want hd-idle working for bootdrive - you can still copy the binary to /storage, rename it and use autostart.sh.

Sorry, I forgot that one: I use a raspberry Pi, so I boot from a SD Card. The USB drive is for my data.

enable debugging in xbmc. reboot. wait 2 min. post xbmc debug log.
EDIT: is /dev/sdaX mounted as /storage ?

Nope, the flashcard is mounted as /storage:

xbmc.log debug (loglevel 1):
http://pastebin.com/T1WHY9yU

For the avoidance of doubt: HDD Power saving is on.

[stefansaraev]

this is not a debug log, unfortunately :)

EDIT: ok. add "debugging" to kernel parameters in cmdline.txt

EDIT: and please keep autostart.sh clean while testing.

[Schnoogemetzger]

this is not a debug log, unfortunately :)

Oh, sorry, I thought you only need xbmc.log with debug level.
autostart.sh is empty.

I add debugging to the cmdline:

OpenELEC:~ # cat /flash/cmdline.txt 
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ssh debugging

To play safe, what log file do you need?
log/messages?
Or is there a new file, if debugging is on and I overlooked it?

[stefansaraev]

I need /storage/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log. with "debugging" in cmdline.txt and debug enabled in xbmc -> settings -> system -> debugging. (might work without debug in xbmc but better enable it, just in case)

[Schnoogemetzger]

Ok, I deliver it tomorrow. Thx so far.

[stefansaraev]

thanks for reporting. no need to send logs. I could reproduce it here. fix coming in next release

[jchannon]

I still have this issue. I'm running XBMC 12.2 and OpenElec 3.2.4

My xbmc log with debugging turned on is at https://gist.github.com/jchannon/70b8a6d6ce618a48505f

I mount it my external hdd with this in the autostart.sh file

 #!/bin/sh
 (sleep 30; \
 mkdir /media/ExternalHDD; \
 mount /dev/sda2 /media/ExternalHDD \
 )&

[stefansaraev]

this is normal, as your hdd is mounted AFTER hd-idle is started. you dont have to mount it manualy - openelec will automount it on boot up.
