XBMC on ATV2 crashes on 1st run but works fine on 2nd run

Hi,

XBMC on ATV2 Dharma 10.1 crashes on 1st run but works fine on 2nd run.

I'm not sure if RSS or Weather is causing this. Please note I do not wish to upgrade to Eden because I will get France 24 Audio-Only and some other channels will lose Video too (Bloomberg, Dubai, etc.)

Here's my Log:

Please help...

Upgrade to Eden 11.0 official as there was never an "official" Dharma version for atv2

Actually the exact version is: Pre-11.0 (23 Jun 2011).

I won't upgrade. I cannot give up France 24 (period)

There has been many bug fixes since nightly builds then and seems to be the first recommendation. Is France 24 not compatible with Eden?

We can't support you here. Its very likly that the crash is fixed in the final eden release. If it breaks something you need, then you are just out of luck for now.

I remember a similar behaviour - upgrading did solve it.

ATV2 has always run Eden, so I don't see why you think upgrading will break that plugin.

Guys, everything was working like a charm for over a year. Suddenly, it crashes on 1st run, 2nd run is stable as normal.

All I'm asking is to take a look at the log file above and tell me what is causing this.

If I upgrade then I will get France 24 as Audio-Only. If you guys fix the video issue with France 24 and Bloomberg then I'll happily upgrade.

I wonder what Davila thinks about this.

Thanks!

yep..that was the normal behavior for 10.0-9 and other eden-pres since the beginning of the year.. give or take few weeks.
First run of the day always ends up in a crash to the main menu.. I think it had something to do with parsing the repo xmls. Also when an addon autoupdates it caused a crash 99% of the time.
You can compare the two logs from first and second run and you'll see what's up.
I upped all my boxes to 11 because of this.

Have in mind that the main eden-pre repo is not maintained anymore..new addons are pushed only to http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/eden/

FWIW, the "doesn't work on 1st attempt but on 2nd" symptom is visible for me as well, with Eden release on iOS 5.0.
It does not happen with the same Eden version on another ATV2 running iOS 4.4.3 connecting to the same media backend .

For me it doesn't crash though, but on the 1st launch after running Netflix, all media lags and stutters so much it's impossible to watch.
Exiting all the way back out to Front row and re-launching XBMC will fix the problem. At work now so I can't provide a log but I will.

Thats an issue with netflix which doesn't free ressources well. when stopping xbmc its basically the same like killing the AppleTV.app which frees the ressources. We already described that issue somewhere else. Its unrelated to the issue of the OP and unrelated to XBMC.
