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

We already described that issue somewhere else. Its unrelated to the issue of the OP and unrelated to XBMC.

Does this also cover the fact that when xbmc is run 1st, it often runs fine until a networked drive is accessed? That's when xbmc takes a dive for me. I have the most recent build running 4.4.4 and immediately after an update, I open xbmc, navigate to a network drive that works fine and then it crashes. If I load it again and do the same things, its fine.

that one is already fixed in mainline a as long as it doesn't crash because off the hdd in the nas is spinned down.

Out of curiosity, what type of share do you use (NFS vs SMB, or other), and how many shares do you have running on your NAS that is accessed by XBMC?

SMB, I have about 5 shares, all accessed from my PC which is always accessible with no spin down of drives.

This was a problem with Firecore's media player until their most recent update, now that has stopped so I'm wondering if it's just a left-over problem with XBMC as Memphiz mentioned.

Now forgive my ignorance, but fixed in the mainline - what exactly does that mean for me? Is there a way to update to a fixed version or is that on the next Eden release?

its it the nightly once we get them fixed for ios. Beside that there was an incompatibility between xbmc and firecore mediaplayer which also is stated in our wiki. Glad to here that their latest update really fixed it (i've read in there announcement that they fixed it though)

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!

Your probably better off talking to the France 24 developer to get that working in Eden so you can upgrade

It's not just France 24, it's also Bloomberg and Dubai.

I'll stick with the June 2011 version as much as I can.

Thanks anyways...

I made time to get to the bottom of this issue. As previous mentioned before, I cannot upgrade to the latest version as I'll loose video on many channels. I also noticed another problem with some 4:3 showing as 2:3 (smaller width).

These are the last lines before the crash:

The last line is exactly the same on both Apple TV's. What can I do about this downloader/ ? Can I disable it or upgrade it?

Many thanks!

Your version looks outdated (even older then Eden release?). Post the full debug log to pastebin and put the link here.

Hi Memphiz,

Here's my full log: http://pastebin.com/qvVWPjUN

I have XBMC Dharma 10.0-9 (Jun 23, 2011). I cannot upgrade because I will get many channels with no video (audio-only) and some with 2:3 aspect ratio instead of 4:3.

If you can tell me what is causing this, that would be great.

Thanks!
