XBMC Freezes After Stopping Plackback
#1
When I stop a movie, rather than returning to home screen or the movie list, I am left with what looks like the home screen with no menu (clock on top right and house icon on top left; I am using confluence). Image of this

The XBMC is totally frozen: the clock does not change and the XBMC does not respond to web requests.

There is no way to interact with XBMC.

I CAN fix this problem by killing one of the XBMC processes. I am running xbmc-live. Dharma.

I fix doing the following (SSHed):
1) run: pgrep -lf xbmc.bin
results:
5115 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone
5172 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone


2) sudo kill -SIGKILL 5172
# I use largest PID

I am immediately returned to correct screen and XBMC is unfrozen. It does not restart.
If I kill -7 rather than SIGKILL, xbmc just restarts.

I have attached log. No back trace / crash file is genereated. In this log I hit stop on IR controller.

Might have been fixed in eden... the only way to tell is to test it.

I should add: this problems seems to occur only when I stop the movie early. When the movie finishes playing and ends "naturally" it does not occur.
