Windows XBMC crashes when XBOX-controller disconnects

bakito · 2012-05-03 11:40

now that nighlty are up again, will there be an xbmc version which get rid of this problem?
I salute the effort from evil B, I have no code skill and I'd like to help more but I already post my log and it seems that many user have this problem...maybe a hint ( that I already share but ...) I have no problem at all using beta 2 ( before eden release ) what is the difference btw the two version??
again thanks for the effort from the people on this thread!
cheers

probably that in the version that was working for you the auto detection of newly plugged controllers didn't work. the difference is probably the addition of the detection routine for newly plugged controllers. my first patch removes this so your controller will have to be plugged or turned on before XBMC starts to be detected.
the second patch tries to consolidate the detection routine to prevent crashes. For me the second patch works a little. It usually takes a few turning on/off before the controller is not detected anymore (and I don't have crashes).

I think for now the only way to have consistently both the detection and no crash would be to use my first patched version with xpadder (or any similar software) to handle the controller.

My personal analysis is that the SDL layer used in XBMC to handle the Joysticks is buggy.

yes indeed my controller has to be turn on before xbmc so he detects it....I'll try one of the last built to see if your pattch work for me!
again thanks!

Same issue here. I will start a video and pop the batteries on the 360 wireles remote then xbmc crashes.

tinybutstrong and NewUser1, can you guys post debug logs to pastebin and then post a link to them here and on the tracker page listed below?

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12857

The more information the developers have, and the easier it will be to develop a fix for the issue. Also, it can't hurt to increase the turnout in the bug report.

Im using XBMC SDL_Quit with zero crashes...
I was having crashes from 360 controller, wiimote, and back from sleep.
All dissapearing...

XBMC crashes when you (dis)connect any USB peripheral (tested keyboard and headset).

Here is the full log, but as you can see it revels absolutely nothing.

Is there any way that this fix can enter the upcoming release cycles?
