I've noticed a couple more things about the crash issue.

1) XBMC only crashes after it is activated. If, for example, you have another window open and XMBC in the background (in windowed mode) when the controller disconnects, you can actually still see XBMC react to your mouse in the background after the disconnect. It's only when you then reactivate XBMC that XBMC crashes.

2) The crash also occurs when connecting the controller, but only for the first time connecting the controller after startup. If you disconnect and then reconnect without restarting the computer, the reconnect will be handled without crash.

I'll go ahead and update my original post with these findings as well.

XBMC doesn't crash for me just the controller will not respond after going to sleep. I have to alt tab out of media center close xapper and xbmc center then restart xpadder and then the keys work again. Looks like the keys get unbound some how with xapadder

I'm having exact the same problem using the keymap.xml for the wireless Xbox 360 controller.
While watching a movie the controller goes to sleep and XBMC crashes in the same moment or while trying to alt+tab it.
The problem appears only with the final version of Eden. Betas and RCs worked fine.

I'll try to post some logfile from the crash, later this week.

Since this thread is getting long and it was originally about the XBMC controller not working after it goes idle, I'm going to move my discussion of the crash on controller disconnect issue to this thread:

So I'm not alone! This was driving me nuts to the point where I went and bought a new remote. I love using the wireless 360 controller with XBMC, but ever since I installed the Eden final there's no way to get the controller to communicate with XBMC after it goes idle. I really hope someone addresses this because I really don't want to go back to Dharma Sad

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a Zotac Mag with an official 360 wireless controller and receiver. XBMC w/ Eden final.
