Xbmc freezes lock-ups when starting videos

Dear Xbmc community,

Xbmc crashes often when starting videos.
I use Arch linux and xbmc-git aur package which i think is from 26 december at the moment.

The skin and everything boots up beautifully and library updates are done. I mount my shares through NFSv4 and the same server that exports the nfs shares holds a xbmc database and thumbnails.
The setup works beautifully, however when starting xbmc for the first time the video can fail to play. Sometimes the wheel (that starts to spin when you click play) just keeps spinning forever until i press something on my remote and then it freezes.

I have uploaded the latest freeze where the pinwheel freezes and noething happens here:

A second variant of the freeze is the most weird, where the video is started (i hear sound). But i haven't left the menu. When i press clear on my remote (which is the back to video key i guess) xbmc freezes and nothing happens.

I took a look at the end of the log i just posted and i see only that job control threads are dieing but no errors whatsoever.

My hardware consists of a trusty ASrock 330 Ion which uses vdpau.
Nivida drivers are the very latest (29* something) updated a week or 2 ago from the arch linux AUR's.

So anyone have any ideas?

Hello.

Sorry I cannot report a solution but I have an identical problem.

This is the latest crash report. http://pastebin.com/WBTzgvpE

Let me know if you figured out what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

I am getting this exact same issue on my Acer Revo

same here, for the system specs see my sig .. seems to be a NVidia related problem ??

Never had the issue with XBMC 10 though.

same thing happens here too.

I have this issue on both my rigs. Happens more with the Revo. Seems to be a big issue with 11.0

I agree, and I'm also using Acer Revo (3600)

Can someone here post a dummies guide to downgrade video driver to same used in XBMC Live 10 so we can c if that's the problem?

One thing that come to my mind is that in the release candidate, XBMC crash about the same number of times, but now it just freeze. Maybe the crash and restart was better?

I'm using XBMCbunto, have people here the same experience when installing XBMC repository on top of other Linux flavors?

I am also using XBMCUbuntu and really regret upgrading to Eden now.

I don't have the time to downgrade this weekend, so looks like a task for next week.

I'm having the issues with fresh install of 11.0 xbmcbuntu.
