XBMC crashes randomly
#1
Both of my XBMC crashes randomly but never during playback. Both run on a shared library on mysql on my NAS device (Netgear readynas nv+). When I say never during playback I mean, it does crash within the first second of playing a file but if the first second is passed it never crash after that.

XBMC appleTV2:
iOS 4.3
XBMC, Platform: Mac OS X (11.0.0 AppleTV2,1). Built on Jul 27 2011 (Git:20110727-30a9070)
install method, nitoTV i think, then by command line for the nightly build
skin: PM3.HD

XBMC Linux:
Ubuntu 2.6.32-29-generic
XBMC pre-11.0: Git:20110807-656b3a4
install method: buy usb key with live, then update to latest nightly build by command line (the extact same day as the appleTV to have the same mysql version DB)
skin: PM3.HD

My last repro steps on the appleTV:

from a fresh xbmc loading:
- use master profile (or kids profile does crash as in master profile: randomly)
- go in tvshows
- scroll down a few covers (sometimes it crashes there)
- back
- go to movie
- scroll down a few covers (crashes)
RESULT: XBMC crashes and device return back to appleTV home screen
AppleTV crash: xbmc.old.log: http://pastebin.com/m3yYevHN

From a fresh xbmc loading on the linux:
- use kids profile
- go to movies
- select a movie and hit play
- after half a second of playback it crashed
Linux crash: http://pastebin.com/46f0wgMf
RESULT: XBMC crashes and reload to profile selection view

Sometimes it crashes when I go to video add-ons, sometimes it crashes right after select the profile I want to use for this session. Sometimes it crashes when I do "add" to add a file to the current playlist.

Bottom line is it crashes always at a navigation point. It also tend to crash more the first time. After one or two crashes, it wont crash easy.

Everything worked well (after a lot of effort) for a couple of months. I did not changed anything since. I noticed there was some video add-ons that auto-updated by them-self recently so here they are:

Add-ons on AppleTV:
Arrêt sur Image
FastPassTV
IceFilms
KidsWB
MythBox
TouTV
YouTube

Add-ons on Linux:
Icefilm
TouTV
YouTube

If there is something missing in my repport please tell. Thank you

Your version of XBMC for iOS/ATV2 is very outdated. You need to update: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...2#Updating

Ok that didn't go well. I did what is on instructed on the link given. I now see xbmc but nothing appears in movies or tvshows, and I can't even see anything in my files, it ask for a user password. I entered xbmc for a user and xbmc for a password which is my username and password for my smb shares.

Reminder: I use a shared library mysql on my NAS system.

I need help, I found nothing by searching Google: too many possibilities.

Ok that didn't go well also. I searched for an upgrade instruction and found none. I only found how to install xbmc on a linux machine: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._for_Linux
I followed those instuctions and I saw a black screen. I rebooted and it asked to login. I loggued in with xbmc/xbmc. I typed xbmc to start xbmc and it says:

Error: unable to open display
FEH.py: cannot connect to X server

What should I do to fix this. I searched for "cannot connect to X server" and found an old old thread from 2008.

Please help or redirect me so I can fix this! Both of my XBMC are now down thanks to EDEN Sad

You are going to need to post some log files with debugging turned on.

All XBMC MySQL devices have to be on the same version, and XBMC needs the rights granted to create new MySQL databases.

Basically its permission denied I see everywhere, but I did not change anything on the NAS device a far as user or rights.

Believe me, I know. This is one of the reason I put in parenthesis "after a lot of effort" in my first post.

I still need help on this issue. Can anyone help me. I posted my log on my previous posts. I don't understand why, since EDEN, I get the permission denied on my shares, when before it was fine. What should I do to fix this.

Thank you
