yup... loaded the stable version of XBMC, and problem went away. loaded my music library successfully.
no reboots.

happy and sad, all at the same time. hope this gets figured out. hate to have to keep going back and forth just to scan my library when i add new music.

Finally got back to the computer - here are my logs/syslog/crashreporter

xbmc.log - http://pastebin.com/1hrj02wF
syslog - http://pastebin.com/bNYtFJzG
crashreporter - http://pastebin.com/9kpfMLdV

All I did was load xbmc, go to Music - Files, scroll down to Akon, scan a working folder to the library, and then scan the folder that crashes everytime.

Hope this helps debug the issue.

thx for the report ... i need that mp3 after

Code:

23:16:36 T:125829120 * DEBUG: CFileSMB::Open - opened music/Akon/I Wanna Love You (Promo CDS)/01 - I Wanna Love You (feat. Snoop Dogg) (Album Version).mp3, fd=10000

could you dog down which mp3 causes the crash by removing one after another from that folder? If so and you can provide that crashing mp3 somehow, chances are big for me to fix that crash.

For all others who think going back to a version which works for them and just sitting and hoping that crashes get fixed on its own - good luck - hope is not a developer...

Actually my point was to check whether this issue has been introduced in some newer builds than I used before. And yes it seems so.

I think this would also help you developers to check from the code what has been change in this part of the code related to id3 or library scan since the build I reported? I can also try to find some time to deliver the problematic mp3 but it seems there are many. Or even install the nightlies one by one to check which one has the root cause.

my nudge more should go in direction of locomot1f ...

Beside that i already did look at the code changes since nov 19th of course and spotted already a change and a part of the code which could crash. But for beeing sure it would be great to have such a crashing mp3 here - thats all ... i of course could fix it just by thinking it might be the issue, but this could lead into a yo yo i don't want to play with.

Why not?

There are some issues right now where FireCore's SMB and AFP libraries will conflict with XBMC's. Also, sometimes their media player might not let go of ram after it's done (IIRC), which gives XBMC even less RAM (ATV2 only has 256 MB of RAM).

It's a great product, but there can be issues when running both FireCore and XBMC at the same time.

point taken.

like chomper said, the fact that it seems to be MANY mp3's lead to believe that it may point to something that has changed in the code.

what is the best way to share the mp3 for you?

i can say, as far as the nightlies... it goes back before Nov. 27. i tried that one and got the same results.

[mkortstiege]

Please try the Nov 24 build. If it's not crashing it was (most likely) me

[mkortstiege]

@locomot1f, mind sharing a sample so we can try to reproduce it?

You could dropbox it or rapidshare it or whatever ... you even could send it per mail to memphiz dot xbmc dot org ... i'm already looking for a mp3 which triggers the crash on my side - but didn't find one yet ...

if you can send me a link to the .deb file. ;-)

the index of nightlies doesn't go back that far.

symbolicated crashlog for the devs:

got your e-mail Memphiz.

thanks for testing.
so, after what you said, i decided to test again. but this time, i thought... maybe it's the folder. so i created a new folder and moved those two songs in there.

i made a new folder, and i could not access it through XBMC --

went and took the two songs out, and i could access the folder. while still in XBMC, i decided to add the two files back again to the test folder. i could look at the song information for song #2 (Remember the Love). Tried to do the same for song #3 and it crashed again. Went back in, and tried to play song #2 -- and it crashed. Tried to play song #3, also crashed.

So, i would say, Memphiz, (or anyone else), try to play a song. also, try adding these files while XBMC is not loaded first, or simply restart your XBMC.

Well this is really strange. I did the same thing. I made a dir test - put both files in it - switched over to using SMB and entered the folder and played em. And i see that it just goes fine through the id3tag parsing ...

So there must be something different ... could you post your guisettings.xml?

[locomot1f]

here's my guisettings:

okay, so check this out! went back to that test folder, and it added the two files to the library successfully.
went through the library, and tried to play them -- crashed. didn't try to add the test folder to the library before, just went directly to the files...

went back into the library, and instead of hitting the select button on my remote, did the menu thingy (holding down the menu button); selected play using; and clicked on paplayer(default) -- and it's playing!!!

tried to queue the next song (song #3)... and it crashed.
went back in to try and play song #3 the same as before (with song #2) and it crashed. so it seems that song #3 is more of the culprit...

tried to go back and play song #2 w/ debug on, and it crashed... :-(
turned debugging back off, and it played like before.
this time, queued song #3 after song #2, and it played! wow!!!! so effing confused right now.

went back in and tried again, and it crashed... it seems to be to temperamental to come to any conclusion.
