Windows Eden crashes on 'skip'

OK. Sometime between Dharma and beta1 is just too large a period to search blind.
That's not a debug log, you need to turn on debugging in the settings. Please upload the log on a site like pastebin.com and paste the link here.
I tried harder and it just won't happen on my computer.

Turning debugging on in the setting prevents the crash from happening. Strange but true.

Thing is it can happen on the first skip but usually after a few quick skips. To replicate it everytime I just hit skip as fast as I can until it drops, it doesn't take long.

Would a debug log of a session that didn't crash when skipping be of any use?

This happens for me as well, exactly as described. It has been on the third or fourth skip that it would then crash.
Unable to post logs of it happening due to it then not happening.!

Here is my log: http://pastebin.com/wQGtSNQa

But please note again that it will not crash with debug log on.

Thanks to RazorFR for that info.

That works for me as well... thanks! Please note that the file is called advancedsettings.xml not advancesettings.xml.

Indeed: advancedsettings.xml ! Good catch. I've updated my previous post.

I've tried the nightlies and the oldest one i can find (XBMCSetup-20111124-da3fabb-master.exe 25-Nov-2011 11:00 48M Details) has the crash bug.

With the full release of Eden, i've found that it has crashed a couple of times while navigating the menus in addition to the already discussed skipping a video. Both times it has been while moving forward or backward a few times quickly in succession. Which made me think it has more to do with the remote input than the video itself.

Hey guys, I'm also having the crashing issue since upgrading to Eden. It's incredibly frustrating. I see this thread has come to the conclusion that you need to add some text to the advancedsettings.xml to resolve the issue. This however is not working for me. I have extra text in the xml file as i wanted to change the skip lengths. If i remove my custom skip lengths the fix works, if i leave it there it doesn't. I've reinstalled XBMC, I've also tried putting the text in the xml file in different orders. This is what i currently have... and suggestions?

<advancedsettings>
<video>

<loglevel>1</loglevel>
<usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>
<timeseekforward>5</timeseekforward>
<timeseekbackward>-5</timeseekbackward>
<timeseekforwardbig>30</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-30</timeseekbackwardbig>

</video>
</advancedsettings>

@mosevii you should probably format your advancedsettings.xml like this instead,

<advancedsettings>
<loglevel>1</loglevel>
<video>
<usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>
<timeseekforward>5</timeseekforward>
<timeseekbackward>-5</timeseekbackward>
<timeseekforwardbig>30</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-30</timeseekbackwardbig>
</video>
</advancedsettings>
