Mac OS X XBMC Unexpectedly Quitting - Turning Second Monitor on / off

plastic9mm · 2012-03-30 03:12

Ever since I installed Eden, XBMC crashes when I turn my external monitor on or off.

I have XBMC set to run on an external display (Vizio 42" LCD HDTV) via thunderbolt port. If XBMC is running in the background and I either turn the display on or off, during the screen refresh when OS X is detecting displays, XBMC unexpectedly quits. Anyone seen this behavior or know a fix?

I can post the crash log if it helps, it's just too large to post here.

known issue, when you turn off the display, you take it out from under xbmc and bang.

This wasn't the case with 10, worked fine there.

Could you try this version and see if the issue is fixed there:

Nope, don't have refresh rate set to match video.

Tried the version you posted, if i power down the monitor, it doesn't crash, however the xbmc main window basically disappears. If I choose to hide at that point, then another blank white window will show up on the primary monitor, not the secondary that xbmc is set to display on. It's small too, I'm guessing 640x480 but im not 100% sure. If I choose to hide again, it simply goes away. I have to quit and relaunch xbmc.

Also to note, with this version, if I use xbmc remote on my iphone, xbmc will crash. I open xbmc remote, it connects, then xbmc on my computer crashes.

I tried this and it did not fix the error.
