Update: Apparently, this is caused by a problem with VDPAU and should be fixed with XBMC 12 (Frodo) if I understand correctly.
Hi
I'm having a problem on my Eden box (11.0 compiled from source on Fedora 16).
Sometimes when I start a video (a local video or a youtube video), it looks like it starts "in the background": The runtime indicator appears where it should, but there is no audio and the video window itself doesn't appear; the backdrop turns black (as if the video tries to play behind the menu) and I can't do anything. If I stop the video, everything crashes and the last thing that appears in the log is:
I have carefully compared two pieces of log information: one from a successful video launch and one from an unsuccessful one. These are the lines that do not appear on an unsuccessful video launch (i.e. these are from a successful start):
Notice that "Window Init (VideoFullScreen.xml)" and "Window Deinit (MyVideoNav.xml)" doesn't appear on unsuccessful launches.
Actually, I only experience this problem when using the Aeon Nox skin. It might happen with Confluence as well, but I have never been able to reproduce it (I'm posting here because I don't know whether it's a skin issue or not).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
(Update: given the nature of the log messages, this might be a thread for Linux specific support ...)
