Yeah, I know. I have no idea what happened, but XBMC locked up, then went black. I closed it and re-opened it and only the text was showing with a black screen. I checked the 'addons' folder and the entire skin.metropolis.svn folder was gone.
Still not sure how that happened. Must be a weird bug in XBMC somewhere. I was using the Commander iPad app at the time.

Stoli, The closest I have come to replicating this is that during a Skin update once the Skin (Metropolis in this case) has finished downloading and begins to apply itself XBMC will go black.
Sometimes the skin recovers, but other times it seems to lock (or my patience runs out) and I have to alt+F4 out.
When I restart XBMC the skin is set back to the default and Metro is not in the list of enabled skins. I actually have to go to add-ons, skin, metro chose Install and then the skin is re-added and applied.
The absolute next time this happens I will pastebin my log.

Well at least I'm not the only one this has happened to. It may have been from a skin update, but I don't remember it showing the skin updating at the time. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

This has happened to me also. Not sure if it skin related or something with Eden Beta 2.

There is already one on the shutdown options on metropolis. Go to shutdown and then press right once.
It goes set timer, suspend, hibernate, restart, shutdown, Exit.
So far the black screen hasn't happened to me yet (runs to touch a wooden table).

Happened to me today, can't get it back. Files were updated a 15:53 EET and metropolis is unusable :-(
Only errors I saw were related to fonts to loading, but I get totally black with a few images somewhere. I wasn't in the room when things bombed but noticed that the stream I was (not) watching video's froze with audio still going. Couldn't get things to reset so I got black when exiting the plugin, then rebooted and still no change.

Same here, picture freezes, audio continues.... press back button get to main screen ... cant exit...I unplug my ATV2 .... reboots...launch XBMC ..back to Metropolis. Never happened until the 13##...... update
Still lovin Metropolis though

I can't reproduce the issue, but have added a "Reset to Defaults" in the Settings > Metropolis > Debug section that may help.

Music Vis with Logo:
Without Logo:

when this happens I am am to hit the back button to go to main menu but unable to select any options so cant get into reset all. How can I grab a debug log, keeps happening and am sure it will happen again

not sure if this means anything or helps, think this is part of debug before reset:

In settings enable debugging, reset the skin settings and reproduce the issue. Then post the entire log to pastebin. Then see if you can reproduce it in Confluence.
