Xbmc Eden Ubuntu 12 crashes constantly

I also have consistent crashes of XBMC Eden on 11.10. Brand new box, brand new HDD (SSD), clean install of 11.10 and Eden. It doesn't seem to crash when playing movies much, but just sitting in the interface it will crash to desktop, sometimes lock up, after a few minutes. crashes consistently when playing a dvd. really a pita

Problem seems to be solved...... I am not sure how, or why but for anyone with similar problems, this is what I did.

Did a full shutdown of xbmc then full shutdown of the computer. I left it off overnight, and voila.......
Turned it on next morning, and no crashes......

Again, not sure what happened, but it is working

Thanks to those who gave some insight, and help.

Happy viewing...

just to be sure: What do you mean with "full shutdown"? or, what is not a "full shutdown"?

Just clicked shutdown. I mean as a posed to re-starting the computer, I shut it down.

Anyhow, started giving problems again. Have gone back to Ubuntu 10.04

Am happy again.....

The old saying if something is not broken don't fix it!!! But if we thought like that we would not be using Linux would we....

I had similar problems after scanning for new content. Continuous looping crashes thereafter. After re-installing XBMCbuntu Eden, crash would occur each time entering the movie library.

Solved by 1) deleting the file most recently scanned in, and 2) cleaning the library.

Re-adding this file to the library caused the crashing to reoccur. It also crashed when trying to play from the XBMC file browser. I don't know what is different about this file, but VLC (Win7) plays it, no problemo.
