Windows Eden crashes on 'skip'

Thanks Skuffe. I actually came to the same conclusion after looking at my post and fixed up my xml file. I just hadn't had a chance to update my post with what i'd found. Thanks for your quick reply. Maybe it will help any other newbies if/when they come across it.

Does it work for you now with no crashing when skipping forwards through a video...?

This skip crashes happens with me also, since nightly builds, (not sure build version) i always tought was something in my HPTC,
i did try crash with debug on, no success, but i notice ppl reporting problem are using AMD gpu same as me.
I have kids HTPC with nvidia gpu i try make it crash but it didnt, not sure if is a big coincidence or it has something to do with the problem.
i'll try harder make the htpc with nvidia gpu crash and report if i succed.

both HTPC are runnig eden final and windows 7 64

Mine uses an Asus Gt 430 Nvidia GPU and crashes when skipping forward.

The solution worked for me after I modified my XML file. If you don't already have an advancedsettings.xml file (and you won't if you haven't created it), create one with the following text

<advancedsettings>
<loglevel>1</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>

The XML file must be named advancedsettings.xml and be save to your user data folder (see here for location http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata). For thos who don't know how to create it, simply create a file with notepad, copy the line of code in from above and rename the extension to XML. For those wishing to modify the skip length when using up, down, left, right on a keyboard so my earlier post.

Adding a advancedsettings.xml to my \xbmc11\portable_data\userdata\ with those 3 lines, also seems to solve the cash on skip for my XBMC.

Windows 7 x64, Radeon 5850. This issue occured using the keyboard, MCE remote and Adroid app.

hi,
I hope this thread isn't dead yet . I have this problem every time after i updated from dharma to eden. I tried all things written here but nothing works. Heres my log. I think its the right one http://pastebin.com/ZrZiuChD

ok, I've found the solution to my problem after trying to crack the log on my own In my case the add-on tvcatchup made an extra xml file with custom settings in the userdata/keymaps folder and somehow was overwriting the keyboard keymaps during video playback, after deleting it, everything went back to normal

Is it possible to do this without having the log file being written to so often? I just don't like the idea of so many needless writes to my SSD.

I'm probably being over paranoid, but....still.

Just wanted to echo this again as this issue is really driving me up the wall.
